The IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health (FSPH), in conjunction with the Regenstrief Institute, is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow/Research Specialist for a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded fellowship in public and population health informatics. This unique post-doctoral program is located on Indiana University's Indianapolis campus, which is uniquely positioned in the health and life sciences hub for Indiana.
Our fellowship program is looking for people who want to make the world better-and have the innate interest, scientific acumen, and desire to be surrounded by faculty and staff who are committed to transforming the public and population health care system in the U.S. Our program prepares Research Scientists to design, implement, and evaluate the impact of information technologies on population health in the context of public health and healthcare delivery organizations. The goal of the fellowship program is to provide individuals with doctoral training who are interested in developing further analytical, methodological, and professional skills needed for informatics-oriented research positions in academia, government, and industry. The program focuses on scholarly output and preparation for an independent scientist career.
About the School and Department:

The mission of the FSPH is to cultivate innovative, interdisciplinary, community-engaged education, research, and service and prepare leaders in public health and health care.

Prior to 2012, the school was a department within the IU School of Medicine. Long-standing collaborations are in place with key community entities, including the Indiana State Health Department, the Marion County Public Health Department, and a wide variety of community organizations and industry partners.
The Departments of Epidemiology and/or Health Policy & Management will host these fellows. These departments possess a strong track record in NIH-funded research as well as extramural research funding from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Indiana State Department of Health, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The departments' faculty are national and international experts in cancer, genetics, coronary heart disease, diabetes, nutrition, health policy, health economics, public health infectious disease reporting, and public health practice.
