Position Summary
The Department of Health & Wellness Design within the School of Public Health at Indiana University Bloomington is inviting applications for a postdoctoral fellow position in Design & Implementation Sciences . Working under the direct supervision and mentorship of Dr. Edmond Ramly the postdoctoral fellow will conduct research on the design implementation and evaluation of health interventions to advance knowledge creation and integration in the fields of humancentered design and implementation science . The postdoctoral fellow will be hired for a oneyear position with the opportunity for renewal on a yearly basis based on performance. The mission of the Design & Implementation Sciences Program directed by Dr. Ramly is to conduct research and training to accelerate the implementation of better health by design in order to achieve evidencebased impacts through humancentered solutions. Our research includes a focus on noncommunicable chronic conditions and related risk factors (e.g. cardiovascular diseases hypertension tobacco use diabetes Alzheimers disease and related dementias etc.. Other issues pertaining to the health of chronically ill or older adults are investigated as well. Example projects include tailored process improvement in primary care telehealth for people with multiple chronic conditions scalable quality improvement through datadriven collaboratives sustainable tobacco cessation in cancer centers and heart disease prevention across settings. Our research involves realworld projects and stakeholders and has practical implications by providing direct support to regional and national health decisionmakers through evidencebased practice design and implementation. The position includes benefits and compensation congruent with NIH stipend levels. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis with full consideration and evaluation via an expedited decision process for those applying by October 10 2024. The appointment start date is negotiable on a casebycase basis and could begin as early as November 11 2024. Hybrid arrangements can be negotiated. Mentor Information: Edmond Ramly PhD is an Associate Professor and the founding Program Director for Design and Implementation Sciences at the Indiana University School of Public Health Department of Health and Wellness Design. His work aims to turn science into health by leveraging dual expertise in human factors/systems engineering and in implementation science. Dr. Ramlys research program develops and tests innovative methods for the humancentered design and implementation of systems interventions to improve health and reduce disparities among older adults and patients experiencing multiple chronic conditions in outpatient and longterm care settings. Dr. Ramlys 15 years of research on digital and organizational innovations produced effective and broadly implemented solutions that reduced translational and disparities gaps in chronic care and prevention including blood pressure control and tobacco cessation in primary care. Research interests include primary care redesign health equity and disparities evidencebased practice gaps quality and process improvement agile transformation telehealth and longterm care including assisted living and nursing homes.
