We seek innovative clinical researchers with an MD/DO/PhD and an established record of extramural funding in child health research focused upon the influence of social determinants on short and long-term health outcomes. We seek a Team Leader and up to four faculty members for a new Health Services Research Team, at all levels (Assistant, Associate or Full Professor) to promote world-class interdisciplinary research involving children, families, communities, and systems to advance the health of children in diverse settings.

Wake Forest University School of Medicine has designated Child Health Outcomes as one of six prioritized research focus areas, which also include Microbial Ecology & Emerging Diseases, Remote Patient & Participant Monitoring, Sleep & Circadian Rhythms, Transformative Stroke Care and Translational Radiation & Cancer Care. The Child Health Outcomes group will provide a central structure across two large pediatric hospitals, Brenner Children's (Winston-Salem) and Levine Children's (Charlotte). The team will enable a wide breadth of opportunities in clinical, community, and population health research, studying disease and wellbeing rooted in childhood, across the lifespan as informed by social determinants of health. The new Team Leader will play a key role in driving additional recruitment and defining research in health outcomes or health disparities. Additional faculty positions, including data scientists with relevant experience and track record of working with child health data will be entertained with the engagement of those in place to enhance the success and alignment of the program.

Under the guidance of a strong Team Leader, the Health Services Research Team will expand child health outcomes research across the Atrium Health Clinical Enterprise and the School of Medicine campuses, thereby enhancing academic reputation, increasing extramural funding, and accelerating innovations to improve child health. With the support of the Chairs of the Department of Pediatrics (Clinical and Academic) as well as the Vice-Chairs for Research in Winston-Salem and Charlotte, the team will have access to the full range of research centers and cores in the School of Medicine, as well as the broad clinical settings from rural Appalachia and rural South/Central Georgia to dense urban environments available across the Atrium Health Enterprise.

Applicants should submit (1) a letter with statement of interest, and (2) a complete curriculum vitae via the online application system.
