Postdoctoral Position in Hypertension, Clinical Trials, Shared Decision-Making and Community-Based Research
Due Date: Jun 15, 2024. Decisions and notification regarding selection will be made by August 15, 2024.
The Center for Cardiovascular and Chronic Care at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing is pleased to announce an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow with a focus on hypertension research.
The Center aims to significantly reduce cardiovascular health disparities through community engagement, scientific investigation, education, and policy initiatives. The School of Nursing and the Johns Hopkins University provide a rich interdisciplinary environment with a wide variety of clinical and community partnerships, and offer an abundance of seminars, invited lectures, and opportunities for collaboration with faculty across disciplines and departments.
Under the direction of Cheryl Dennison Himmelfarb, PhD, RN, and Center faculty the postdoctoral fellow will have ample opportunities to develop, implement, and evaluate theory-driven strategies to reduce cardiovascular health disparities. The postdoctoral fellow will participate in the conduct of the A Cardiometabolic Health Program LINKED with Community Health WorkErs and Mobile HeAlth TelemonitoRing To reduce Health DisparitieS (LINKED-HEARTS) Program. This is a cluster randomized controlled trial aims to improve control of multiple chronic conditionsand reduce cardiovascular health disparities in racial/ethnic minority groups. The LINKED-HEARTS Program focuses on addressing structural issues of access and includes a self-measured BP and blood glucose telemonitoring platform, team-based care including a pharmacist and community health worker, and provider-level interventions at community health centers. The LINKED-HEARTS Program is part of the NIMHD-funded Mid-Atlantic Center for Cardiometabolic Health Equity (MACCHE). The post-doctoral fellow will have the opportunity to advance health equity by testing whether this intervention prevents hypertension in Black and underserved populations. Another stream of research will focus on developing and testing theory-informed human-centered shared decision-making interventions to promote hypertension control.
The primary responsibility of the postdoctoral fellow will be to collaborate with the research team to carry out an array of activities, including research, scholarship, and conference presentations. The Postdoctoral Fellow will also learn leadership through research protocols, data management and analysis; preparation of manuscripts, grant proposals, and conference presentations; and leadership of interdisciplinary research groups.
Postdoctoral fellows will have access to exceptional resources to facilitate the conduct of their own research including multiple opportunities to publish and assistance with grant-writing or project planning for the next stage of their research careers. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be receiving individualized mentoring and training to develop the skills and competencies needed to become successful independent investigators, advance the health of diverse populations, and to design, implement, and evaluate innovative community-based trials.
The initial appointment will be for one year, with the potential for funding to be extended an additional year. Decisions regarding Fellowship extensions will be based on scholarly productivity, mid-year and year-end progress reports. The position provides salary and benefits consistent with NIH postdoctoral fellows (FY 2024 posted base salary is $56,880).
