Postdoctoral Scholar - Research Associate (Alzheimer's Trial Recruitment Innovation Lab)
Apply Sol Price School of Public Policy Los Angeles, CaliforniaThe USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar - Research Associate to join the Alzheimer’s Trial Recruitment Innovation Lab (ATRIL) fellowship program.
ATRIL is a collaboration between the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics, the USC Alzheimer’s Therapeutic Research Institute, and the Economics Department at Howard University funded through a grant by the American Heart Association’s Strategically-Focused Research Network (SFRN) on the Science of Diversity in Clinical Trials. ATRIL’s goal is to test novel recruitment methods that shift the focus from traditional research and healthcare settings towards community-based activities (decentralized recruitment) so that clinicians can reach diverse participants who are eligible for earlier intervention trials. The Center’s research projects build on an existing, online participant registry to engage, assess and recruit diverse (ethnic/racial, education, SES) participants for potential enrollment into a trial-ready cohort for immediate access to ongoing randomized clinical trials.
This two-year, fixed-term fellowship program is designed to train and develop the next generation of researchers interested in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) clinical trials through a multidisciplinary, active and team-based learning approach. The fellowship combines rigorous didactic sessions, hands-on experience working on clinical trials and trial-related research projects, including a mentored clinical research project using previously collected data. The training program is enhanced through interactive seminars, workshops and other learning and networking opportunities.
The ideal applicant is a postdoctoral researcher who has recently completed a PhD, MD or MD/PhD and has an interest in establishing a future career in AD/ADRD clinical trials. The fellowship program supports scientists across diverse domains of expertise to gain true expertise in ADRD clinical trials. Applicants from a diverse range of programs, such as medicine, public health, epidemiology and biostatistics are encouraged.
Because this SFRN aims to help end historical structures and workplace cultures that advertently or inadvertently treat people inequitably based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, veteran status or other factors, positive consideration will be given to an applicant from a racial or ethnic group that is underrepresented in science (e.g., Black/African-American; Hispanic/Latino; Native American or Alaska Native; and/or Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander) or an LGBTQ+ person or a woman.
Minimum Qualifications
Minimum Education:
Must have completed a PhD, MD or MD/PhD in medicine, public health, epidemiology, biostatistics or related field
