The University of Kentucky’s Markey Cancer Center and the Department of Behavioral Science in the College of Medicine seek an exceptional implementation scientist for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position, with the potential of a leadership opportunity for qualified candidates. We seek a seasoned implementation scientist with a dynamic, productive research portfolio and active extramural grant support who aims to accelerate the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based practices in real world settings to reduce the burden of cancer and health disparities. The Markey Cancer Center has seen transformational growth in recent years, culminating in the National Cancer Institute designating Markey as a Comprehensive Cancer Center in 2023.
The ideal candidate will have NIH-funded research or a very strong promise of such funding; maintain a focus on community-level factors that impact cancer vulnerability; aspire to engage in research mentorship, and contribute to a vibrant environment of scholars from the behavioral sciences, public health, social sciences, communication, health services research, biomedical informatics, health sciences (nursing, medicine, nutrition, etc.), and others. Special emphasis is placed on implementation science, patient and community engagement, quality of cancer care delivery, and health equity. All career stages are welcome. Attractive start up package, premium and contiguous space, and excellent benefits will be provided.
