Employees who come to work at The MetroHealth System are champions of our mission of “leading the way to healthier community through service, teaching, discovery and teamwork.” We have exceptional clinicians and researchers and are looking for more of them.
Staff Positions
Collaborates with Population Health Research Institute (PHRI) faculty and staff on data science activities related to research.
This includes designing data collection strategies, extracting and normalizing data elements from multiple systems, managing and analyzing data, contributing to analytic reports and research proposals and manuscripts. Maintains system solutions to capture, track and report health-related information using various software applications.
Provides system, data and analytic support for a variety of educational, research and quality improvement activities at PHRI. Data systems include electronic health records, claims data bases and other public and private systems to support internally and externally funded research and quality improvement at PHRI and The MetroHealth System.
The Population Health and Equity Research Institute (PHERI) and the Center for Health Care Research and Policy (CHRP) at The MetroHealth System in collaboration with Biomedical Engineering and the Center for Community Health Integration at Case Western Reserve University seeks a postdoctoral scholar to join a multidisciplinary team with an ongoing National Institutes of Health funded project.
The project seeks to advance health equity using innovative quantitative methods in system dynamics computational modeling and structural equation modeling applied to accelerating the translation and implementation of innovations in community prevention and clinical care.
Postdoctoral scholar will focus on developing and applying methods for modeling and statistically testing nonlinear feedback causal models using system dynamics and structural equation modeling.
