The McCance Center for Brain Health in the Department of Neurology at Mass General Hospital is looking for a highly motivated individual with a background in social and behavioral sciences and/or public health to perform cutting-edge research utilizing quantitative and qualitative data to revolutionize how people care for their brain. Our mission is to reduce the rates of stroke, dementia, and depression for all our patients, and we recognize traditional strategies for prevention leave many of our patients behind. Our team is developing novel interventions to promote health equity and utilize patient perspectives in research, which are crucial to improving neurological outcomes, recovering from brain injury, and promoting brain health. This position is for a Research Fellow who will report directly to Dr. Nirupama Yechoor MD, MSc, and will be supported by a world-class team of neurologists, public health experts, and implementation scientists.

Analytical approaches will include but are not limited to; qualitative interviews and focus group research, individual structured patient interviews, narrative and discourse analysis, survey development, and quantitative analysis of surveys, questionnaires, clinical assessments, and clinical data. Our lab will soon be launching a pragmatic clinical trials platform, with the help of implementation scientists, to bring our research directly to patients. The Research Fellow will assist in managing our Community Advisory Board platform, including project management, data curation, and assist with patient and community engagement. We require a 2-year minimum commitment. The Research Fellow will have opportunities to supervise and lead a team, develop independent projects, and write and apply for independent grant funding. This position is ideal for someone with ambition to launch an independent research career in the fields of qualitative research, intervention development, or in implementation science.

PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

The Research Fellow will be the primary project leader for execution of all qualitative analyses for several grant-funded projects involving patients, caregivers, and communities who comprise our Community Advisory Board platform. The Research Fellow will also be responsible for digital curation of existing and future datasets and analyses, project management, the preparation of presentation materials, manuscripts and grant applications, mentoring of technologists and coordinators, and presentations at local, national and international conferences.
