Job Summary:

The Department of Emergency Medicine is excited to recruit a doctoral-level, quantitatively-oriented, highly-motivated, trauma and injury researcher to contribute to clinical and epidemiologic research focused on life-threatening injuries.

The Research Lab and Field

The C3 Global Trauma Network conducts innovative, collaborative, federally-funded trauma care research, predominantly in high-trauma international settings. A variety of rigorous observational and interventional methodologies are used to fill contemporary clinical knowledge gaps. The C3 Network seeks to generate high quality evidence to enhance early trauma care, with a special focus on improving patient outcomes in resource-constrained settings (e.g., in South Africa). The C3 Network has a track record of NIH and U.S. Department of Defense funding, including dozens of published peer-reviewed manuscripts and scientific presentations. Our research also deliberately seeks to fill clinical and scientific gaps for civilians worldwide and the U.S. military.

To enable the incumbent to understand the international context and effectively supervise research activities, international travel is a requirement of the position. There will also be opportunities for domestic travel to present research at conferences and to stakeholders.
