Dashboard Research Assistant
CUNY ISPH
The Research 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, dataset curation and management, quality review, data visualization methods, and dissemination of information via blog posts, social media and other external outlets. The core work will focus on the development of emerging dashboard projects related to major public health issues and initiatives (e.g. HIV and Hepatitis C), similar to our work on the Ending the Epidemic Dashboard (www.etedashboardny.org).
The CUNY Institute for Implementation Science in Population Health's (www.cunyisph.org) 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.

The CUNY Institute for Implementation Science in Population Health (ISPH) was founded on the notion that substantial improvements in population health can be efficiently achieved through better implementation of existing strategies, policies, and interventions across multiple sectors. We study how to translate and scale-up evidence-based interventions and policies within clinical and community settings in order to improve population health and reduce health disparities. CUNY ISPH.
