Job Description

General Description

The CUNY ISPH has a rapidly growing COVID-19, mental health, and vaccine research portfolio and is recruiting for a project coordinator, whose work will be focused on the managing projects focused on the impacts of US COVID-19 pandemic and public health response, both the national CHASING COVID Cohort, launched in late March 2020 and on a newly funded project designed to increase vaccination among those with depression and anxiety. 

 

The position comes with a one year hire commitment, and further extension is dependent on funding availability and performance.  This can be a remote position, and visa sponsorship is available as long as the applicant is currently in the United States.   Both full and part-time applicants will be considered.

The CUNY Institute for Implementation Science in Population Health (ISPH) was founded on the notion that substantial improvements in population health can be efficiently achieved through better implementation of existing strategies, policies, and interventions across multiple sectors. With that in mind, we study how to translate and scale-up evidence-based interventions and policies within clinical and community settings in order to improve population health and reduce health disparities.  The ISPH leads cutting-edge research across a range of topics, including health disparities, HIV, substance use, and mental health.  We utilize innovative methods, including large online national cohorts, discrete choice experiments, quasi-experimental methods, visualization dashboards, and cluster RCT / hybrid trials.
