Presently, Henry Ford + MSU is seeking up to 10 exceptional CANCER researchers with a record of innovation and high-impact research. We are assembling a team of foremost scientists on our Detroit campus who will collaborate closely with scientists and clinicians across MSU and Henry Ford Health. Ideal candidates are highly productive, mission driven, and research intensive, with a strong desire for their science to have a timely clinical and/or community impact. Successful candidates will thrive in a team-oriented culture where disciplines converge, and clinicians and scientists work together to advance the understanding of cancer biology, to accelerate the development of novel interventions, and improve cancer survivorship.

Applicants must have a PhD, MD, DO, DVM, ScD, or equivalent. Applicants at the Associate and full Professor levels should have an outstanding record of research accomplishments, including sustained extramural funding and high-impact, peer-reviewed publications. Assistant Professor level candidates should have training and a research track record consistent with a career path that will lead to extramural funding as an independent investigator. All successful candidates will be expected to maintain robust extramural funding, with federal funding as a cornerstone of their research programs and be actively engaged in unifying and elevating the Henry Ford + MSU partnership. Although all extraordinary candidates will be considered, we are especially interested in those with expertise in cancer biology, bioinformatics, immunology, precision medicine, radiobiology, epidemiology, and clinical trials. In addition, applicants focused on pancreas, brain, lung, breast, ovarian, prostate, and hematological cancers are especially encouraged to apply. We welcome applications from clinician scientists with a strong record of peer-reviewed funding.

Positions are jointly funded through Henry Ford + MSU, and candidates may be hired by Henry Ford Health or Michigan State University with a secondary, no-pay appointment at the other institution. The primary academic appointment will be based upon the candidate’s discipline, research, and interests. We are hiring at the ranks of assistant, associate, and senior scientist at Henry Ford Health and associate and full professor (tenure system) at MSU. Clinical appointments are available for clinician scientists. All positions are for the Detroit campus. Space, start-up packages, salary and benefits are competitive and will be commensurate with experience and rank.

To apply: Please send a cover letter, C.V. or resume, and two representative scholarly publications in a single email to [email protected]. Please also include names, titles, and contact information for three references (we will contact you before reaching out to your references). Questions about the position may also be sent to the same address. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.

The newly created Geisinger Program Evaluation (GPE) team seeks one Associate Director and one Staff Scientist, each with expertise related to health economics or health services research, and especially research drawing causal inference using non-randomized methods. This is a great opportunity to oversee and lead rigorous, primarily non-randomized (or partially randomized) evaluations of programs, with impact on important health system decisions and patient outcomes, straddling industry and academia. Evaluations from members of GPE (which also includes the Behavioral Insights Team) are published/forthcoming in high-impact journals, including PNAS, Nature Human Behaviour, JAMA Network Open, and The Journal of Pediatrics. Both positions will be expected to lead study design, analysis (preferably using R), and reporting/dissemination of results to internal stakeholders (e.g., Geisinger leaders) as well as to academic audiences (e.g., at conferences and in academic publications). The Associate Director will lead and manage a team. Positions can be based in Danville, PA, or remote (with occasional travel to Danville) from another U.S. location for exceptional candidates.

• Contributing to or leading manuscript drafting and submission for select evaluation studies (first-author opportunities available)
• Participating in the design of interventions for evaluation and implementation at Geisinger
• Participating in data management, analysis, visualization, and reporting to assess the effectiveness of Geisinger programs, including assessing their effects on patient and other outcomes and quantifying the associated costs and return on investment
• Engaging in open science best practices (e.g., preregistration, preparing and sharing de-identified data and code)
• Disseminating GPE findings at scientific conferences and to lay audiences (e.g., sharing findings with Geisinger leaders)
