POSITION: Research Coordinator – Public Health and Community Medicine

ORGANIZATION: Tufts University

Overview

The Department of Public Health and Community Medicine is an academic department within the Tufts University School of Medicine located on the Health Sciences Campus in Boston. Technical and academic assets within the department provide a strong research support system for federally-funded research. Its 30 full-time faculty members hold advanced degrees in epidemiology, biostatistics, sociology, anthropology, law, medicine, nutrition, biology, engineering, health policy, economics, social policy, education, social work, and the behavioral sciences. Department research includes a focus on the following thematic areas: health equity, health communication, nutrition and infection, infectious disease epidemiology, health policy and health care delivery, environmental health, the opioid epidemic, and global health. Department faculty are methodologically strong and diverse, with expertise in biostatistics, survey research, program evaluation, qualitative methods, dietary assessment and spatial epidemiological analysis.

A major driver of the U.S opioid crisis is limited access to effective medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) that reduce overdose. Traditionally, jails and prisons in the U.S. do not initiate or maintain MOUD for inmates with OUD prior to their return to the community, which places them at high risk for fatal overdose. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, overdose risk among former inmates has shown signs of increasing further. A 2019 law (“Chapter 208”) made Massachusetts (MA) the first state to mandate that five county jails deliver all FDA-approved MOUDs (extended-release naltrexone [XR-NTX] buprenorphine-naloxone [BUP-NX], and methadone). Chapter 208 establishes a 4-year pilot program to expand all FDA-approved forms of MOUD at five county jails; SEVERAL more county jails in MA voluntarily joined this initiative. The law stipulates that MOUD be maintained in individuals receiving it prior to detention and initiated prior to release among sentenced inmates where appropriate. The jails must also facilitate continuation of the medication in the community on release.

The Massachusetts Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network proposes to partner with these seven diverse jails and community treatment providers to conduct a Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation study of Chapter 208. We will: (1) Perform a longitudinal treatment outcome study among inmates with OUD who receive MOUD, or no MOUD in jail utilizing MA’s powerful and innovative Public Health Data Warehouse, a collection of over two dozen linked state administrative data sets, to examine post-release MOUD initiation, engagement and retention, as well as fatal and non-fatal overdose and recidivism. (2) Conduct an implementation study that will incorporate qualitative and quantitative research methods to understand contextual factors that facilitate and impede delivery of MOUDs in jail and community care coordination, and best practice strategies that optimize MOUD delivery in jail and coordinated care with community partners. (3) Calculate the cost to the correctional system of implementing MOUD in jail, and conduct an economic evaluation from state-policymaker and societal perspectives to compare the value of MOUD prior to release from jail to no MOUD among matched controls. The Chapter 208 initiative has important implications for future policy and practice in the justice and OUD treatment systems at the local, state, and national levels. This study’s insights into Chapter 208’s implementation will inform the efficient development of future strategies to address OUDs in jail populations nationwide.

What You’ll Do

Under the supervision of the Tufts Principal Investigator and Program Manager, assists with data processing focused on MOUD initiation and adherence in Houses of Corrections (HOC) in Eastern Massachusetts, onsite or remotely from home as feasible given the study needs and COVID-19; data extraction and data entry using study instruments provided by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH); data management; transfer of data from HOCs to the Bureau of Substance Abuse Services (BSAS) with MDPH; collaboration with local HOC staff and leadership; and helping with other tasks as needed.  

What We’re Looking For

Basic Requirements:

• Knowledge and skills as typically acquired by a Bachelor’s degree with 0-2 years research experience
• Must be comfortable working in a secure, correctional environment
• Solid computer skills and proficiency (Excel) and strong organizational skills
• Careful attention to detail is essential
• Ability to conduct repetitive tasks with accurately and efficiency
• Ability to think critically about data processes
• Ability to follow and develop study protocols, taking initiative as needed
• Work independently and as part of a team, communicating well with a study manager and local supervisor
• Must possess a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation and be able and willing to travel throughout the state and work at multiple correctional facilities as needed
• Ability to work successfully and patiently under pressure, be flexible and accommodate change
• Preferred experience handling confidential materials with discretion
• Knowledge of the criminal justice system and correctional facilities desired
• Due to COVID-19 and the capacity of the correctional facilities to provide safe working space, schedules may vary. Shifts may be irregular (potentially including weekends and off-hours) and may therefore require schedule flexibility.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Training in related fields such as public health or social sciences (e.g., sociology, anthropology, social work, criminal justice)
• Experience working with community members with opioid use disorder (OUD)

Special Work Schedule Requirements:

The Program Director and manager will work closely with the Tufts Site PI, and the study PIs to carry out and oversee all elements of the JCOIN study in Eastern MA.

POSITION: Assistant or Associate Professor: Industrial / Occupational Hygiene

ORGANIZATION: University of Minnesota

This position will build on the existing strengths of EnHS and the School of Public Health (SPH). The division has a well-established, ABET-accredited Industrial Hygiene (IH) program. The IH program is part of the comprehensive occupational health training provided through the Midwest Center for Occupational Health and Safety (MCOHS), an Education and Research Center funded by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. In addition to industrial hygiene, MCOHS has cutting edge training and research programs in safety, medicine, nursing, injury and violence prevention, and epidemiology, as well as a continuing education program. EnHS has a robust extramurally funded research program that integrates industrial hygiene, exposure science, epidemiology, toxicology, environmental chemistry, infectious diseases, food safety, and policy. These specialties are critical to understanding the complexity of occupational and environmental health risks and developing methods to prevent illnesses and injuries and promote well-being in worker and community populations. We seek to complement existing faculty strengths in the IH program and division by adding cutting-edge expertise in one or more of the following areas: exposure science, implementation science, qualitative research, and community engaged research.

The successful candidate will have opportunities to collaborate with faculty in EnHS, other SPH divisions, and across the University, including, but not limited to, experts in epidemiology, toxicology, medicine, veterinary medicine, engineering, biostatistics, informatics, and public policy.

Required Qualifications:

Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree, and have the ability to develop an independent and sustainable scholarly research program, develop and teach courses, mentor graduate students, participate in outreach and service, and contribute collaboratively to multidisciplinary efforts as part of their scholarly work. Demonstrated experience in preparing research grants, publishing in quality peer-reviewed journals, and presentations in relevant professional meetings is necessary. Candidates at the associate professor level are expected to demonstrate sustained success in funded scholarly activities.

The successful candidate must have extensive knowledge and experience in research that relates to industrial hygiene, with particular focus on novel and emerging areas of interest that complement existing division expertise. Among these areas of interest are:

Exposure science uses a variety of methods, measurements, and models to explain the complex inter-relationships among human populations; communities; ecosystems; wildlife; chemical, biological, and physical agents; and environmental stressors.

Implementation science seeks to facilitate the uptake of evidence-based practice and research into regular use by practitioners. This field tries to close the gap between what we know and what we do by identifying and addressing barriers that limit the uptake of proven health interventions and evidence-based practices.

Qualitative research focuses on obtaining data through open-ended and conversational communication. Analyzing non-numerical data can be used to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences and gather insights into problems and possible solutions.

Community engaged research incorporates input from people impacted by the research and involves them as equal partners throughout the research process. This involvement may include co-designing research questions, making decisions, influencing policies, and creating programs and interventions that affect their own lives.

The successful candidate will demonstrate an ability to participate in ongoing education and training programs related to industrial hygiene at the University of Minnesota. Interest is expected in growing into leadership positions with EnHS-based centers such as MCOHS, the Midwest Consortium for Hazardous Waste Worker Training, the Upper Midwest Center for Agricultural Safety and Health, and the Exposure Science and Sustainability Institute.

Preferred Qualifications:

We are interested in outstanding candidates with potential to work in multidisciplinary teams on existing and future SPH projects and in collaborations with partners in other academic units within the University, such as, but not limited to, the School of Medicine, School of Nursing, College of Veterinary Medicine, College of Science and Engineering, College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Science, and Institute on the Environment. Evidence of success in acquiring support for multidisciplinary collaborations is highly valued.

Candidates who are a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), or who are willing to become certified, are especially valued for program accreditation purposes.

Because the SPH and EnHS seek to increase the diversity of its faculty, we particularly welcome applicants from groups that have been historically underrepresented in our discipline, including racial/ethnic groups and/or LGBTQIA.

Duties:

Research Activities: The successful candidate is expected to develop a strong independent and sustainable funded research program related to industrial hygiene. Areas of expertise of particular interest to EnHS include exposure science, implementation science, qualitative research, and community engaged research. The successful candidate will be encouraged to develop research collaborations with colleagues in the division and across the University, as well as with collaborators outside the University.

Teaching Activities: EnHS offers graduate level training leading to MS, MPH, and PhD degrees. The successful candidate will be expected to teach interdisciplinary courses in industrial hygiene and occupational health, and to develop new courses as needs arise. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to the education and mentoring of the diverse group of graduate students in the IH program.

Outreach Activities: There is a wide range of opportunities for service to professional organizations and government agencies, as well as outreach to industry and the community at-large. We especially value collaborations with underserved communities. There is an expectation that the successful candidate will contribute to the mission of the University of Minnesota through service to the University.

Level and Salary: Commensurate with experience and qualifications

Start Date: The expected start date will depend on the availability of the selected candidate.

Application Deadline: Completed applications will be reviewed upon receipt, and will continue until the position is filled.

Interested candidates must apply online and include a Curriculum Vitae; a letter of intent stating research interests and scholarly goals and describing how their expertise will fit with the existing research and teaching in the IH program, EnHS, and the University of Minnesota; and the names and addresses of three professional references: https://hr.myu.umn.edu/jobs/ext/348800
