AcademyHealth Delivery System Science Fellowship Opportunity

AcademyHealth is pleased to announce a new training opportunity, the Delivery System Science Fellowship (DSSF), which provides a paid post-doctoral learning experience to help researchers gain more applied experience conducting research in delivery system settings. Applications will be accepted through August 23, 2012, with anticipated start dates between November and December 2012. This year, fellowship placements are available at Geisinger Health System, Intermountain Healthcare, and the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Research Institute (PAMFRI). Students and researchers with an interest in conducting research in delivery system settings are encouraged to apply.

Eligibility requirements include:

• A doctoral degree in HSR or a related field (Note: You may apply for the fellowship if you will receive your doctoral degree before the fellowship start date. We anticipate most applicants will have finished their training in the last three years, but more experienced candidates considering a career shift will also be considered.)
• AcademyHealth membership

Overall, the goal of the fellowship is to provide hands-on training and professional opportunities for highly qualified researchers with background in HSR or related fields to enhance analytic skills and ultimately increase the capacity of the HSR workforce.
