POSITION: Program Assistant

ORGANIZATION: The CUNY Institute for Implementation Science in Population Health (CUNY-ISPH)

General Description: The Project Assistant will be responsible for supporting the Dashboard Team at the CUNY Institute for Implementation Science in Population Health (www.cunyisph.org). The Dashboard Team consists of two full time staff members and several part-time team members. This position will contribute to workflow coordination among multiple projects, creating and updating data visualizations, quality review, dataset curation and management, and disseminating information via blog posts, social media and other external outlets.

The ideal start date is January 3, 2023 with a one year hire commitment. Further extension is dependent on funding availability and performance.

The CUNY Institute for Implementation Science in Population Health’s mission is to translate research into sustainable, cost-effective population-level interventions, strategies, initiatives, and policies with the potential to improve health and reduce health disparities at scale around the world. We do this by understanding biological mechanisms, subtypes and major drivers of disease, identifying program/service/policy implementation gaps driving suboptimal health outcomes at the population level, and by designing and conducting rigorous experimental and observational studies of the impact of strategies aimed at improving population health outcomes. We rigorously assess the effectiveness of these strategies when implemented at scale. Given that many forces shape population health, including those outside the health sector (e.g., political, economic, sociologic, environmental, demographic), we seek and generate knowledge, collaboration and expertise to achieve our mission of improved population health through better implementation.
