Position description

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of California, Irvine is accepting applications for a position in the Specialist Series at the Associate, and full Specialists level.

The position will be split between the Cardio-Obstetric Program and the Black PEARL (Promoting Equity Anti-Racism and Love) Program. The Cardio-Obstetric Program (PI: Afshan Hameed, MD, FACC, FACOG) partners with healthcare networks, researchers, and clinicians to implement and evaluate cardiovascular risk assessment measures and programs to improve cardiovascular health during pregnancy and postpartum. The Black PEARL Model (PI: Candice Lucas, MD & Carol Major, MD) aims to integrate care systems in partnership with a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) community-based doula workforce in Orange County, recruited and trained with HERStory, Inc., and establish systemic integrated care with UCI Health, the only academic health center in Orange County. The programs are funded by private and federal grants.

The position will work directly with the principal investigators and other members of the team to design and conduct research on the association of risk assessment with maternal infant health outcomes and cardiovascular risk behaviors, and the impact of the Black PEARL program on maternal and infant birth outcomes. Responsibilities will include conducting research, supervising research staff, overseeing data collection and management, presenting at scientific conferences, and publishing papers in the peer-reviewed literature. Study design, preparation of proposals, and career development activities are also important aspects of the position.

We strongly encourage individuals from groups historically excluded from research and medicine to apply. The position, designed for candidates with professional experience and early career PhD researchers, will offer unique opportunities to gain the experience and skills to become independent research scholars, including conducting pilot projects and developing partnerships. The position will be a key member of the cardio-obstetric team and will collaborate with the submission of quality measures to the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) and Partnership for Quality Measurement (PQM), advocate for clinical guideline development with national professional organizations; conduct data analyses of UCI's cardio obstetric database; conduct studies, including community-engaged research, on patient CVD risk behaviors and social determinants of health. The position will develop grant-writing and manuscript preparation skills, and present at seminars and scientific conferences.

The ideal candidate will have experience in the following areas: cardiovascular health, management and data extraction of electronic health record databases, obstetric-primary care coordination, community-based participatory research and/or health behavior research, a strong background in study design and program management, and familiarity with the CMS and PQM quality measure development and review process.
