Description Multiple positions available at 100% FTE and 50% FTE The Department of Population Science and Policy (PSP) at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine (SIU SOM) is broadly defined as a research and policy academic department dedicated to improving the health outcomes of the residents of central and southern Illinois. The Department seeks to understand the region SIU SOM serves, designs and studies optimal approaches to the prevention and treatment of disease, models and disseminates these interventions, and educates future health care providers on the importance of population health to the patients they serve. The Department is focused on understanding and improving rural/small town health by: 1) data acquisition in populations and clinical cohorts for high level analysis to identify determinants of health, disease risk and its determinants, and clinical outcomes, 2) developing clinical and population strategies to simultaneously improve care for all while mitigating disparities, 3) developing and promoting policies to support sustainable solutions to our areas of focus, and 4) providing graduate and other advanced educational offerings to current and future health professionals. The Department uses its research, scholarship, and innovation to design, implement, study, and model solutions to our region's health challenges. Our research guides policy, and our distinguished faculty advise and collaborate with hospital and clinical systems, government entities, educational systems, community organizations, and industry partners on the best means to improve population health. The Department connects faculty from SIU School of Medicine to affiliated institutions, agencies, and philanthropy who are interested in population sciences education, research and policy formation. The Department seeks and promotes collaborations within as well as outside of the SIU system to bridge knowledge gaps, share methodological expertise, and stimulate translational science. The Department's ultimate goal is to contribute substantively to healthier, happier, and more successful lives for the residents of central and southern Illinois, though with special focus on those residing in rural/small towns.
