Health Equity Postdoctoral Research FellowTitle: Health Equity Postdoctoral Research Fellow
School: Harvard Medical School
Department/Area: Global Health and Social Medicine
Position Description: The Department of Global Health and Social Medicine stands out at Harvard University for its unique focus on research and training aimed at improving global health delivery and promoting health equity worldwide. Core to the department's work is the recognition that an interdisciplinary approach is key to expanding and achieving global health equity. Traditional medical models alone will not fully address the complex social, economic, and political factors influencing global health care. Through the lens of disciplines like anthropology, history, sociology, economics, implementation science, and bioethics, department investigators seek to understand how issues like poverty, inequality, and access to resources act as barriers to health. In collaboration with community-based and other clinical organizations, we apply these understandings to develop and evaluate interventions and systems for improving the delivery of health care.
In memory of the late Paul Farmer, the department has established a post-doctoral fellowship to support research fundamental to global health equity. Fellows will be early-career researchers who will spend two years based in the department. Their primary responsibility will be to pursue an original research project of their own design. We seek fellows whose field research sites will be in low-income settings of the Global South. Fellows will be assigned a mentor: a department faculty member who has overlapping research expertise or interest in the area of the Fellow's proposed research topic. In addition to a fellowship stipend, research funding and professional development funding will be available.
Department Senior Faculty lead research in the following areas: Digital technology for health careEcology of poverty and developmentHealth impacts of the climate crisisHistory of medicineIntersection of culture, coloniality and well-being in North American Indigenous communitiesMedical anthropologyMental health: epidemiology, interventions, implementation sciencePolitical economy of healthTuberculosis: epidemiology, clinical trials, co-infection, social stigma, community interventionsThe aim of this program is to expand the pool of talented academic leaders equipped to conduct research that advances health equity using the frames of social medicine. Fellows will be mentored to pursue the next phase of their careers. They will have the opportunity to participate in all department seminars alongside faculty and other trainees as well as career-development workshops at Harvard Medical School.
Location: This position is located in Boston with significant travel to research locations.
Timeline: A first assessment of applications will be made in late November 2024, with decline notifications sent out in early December 2024. Final decisions are expected to be made in January 2025 with offer letters being extended in February 2025.
