The Obstetrics Department is seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Research Scientist. The full-time Post-doctoral Research Scientist (PRS) position is supported by a research grant funded by the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) and will include collaborations and mentorship with the Department of Biomedical Informatics. The successful candidate will conduct, and lead aspects of, research within the fields of
maternal morbidity and mortality and informatics, with a specific focus on the inpatient labor and delivery and post-partum patient population. Research will include mixed methods, both quantitative modeling of EHR data and qualitative data collection with clinical subject matter experts. Specifically, this research will investigate how EHR data can reliably identify clinical-management factors associated with
failure to rescue in the setting of maternal emergencies such as: (i) severe hypertension, (ii) obstetric hemorrhage, (iii) sepsis, and (iv) frankly abnormal maternal vital signs (maternal early warnings systems). In this project, the PRS will leverage the richness of EHR data to characterize provider behavior and risk stratify patients. This research provides an excellent opportunity for the RF to work within
a multidisciplinary research team to explore maternal morbidity and mortality and informatics research. The RF will contribute to the ongoing research projects and be encouraged to lead publications and prepare grant proposals. Current available position is grant-funded. The PRS will be mentored by the Principal Investigator. Job Responsibilities: Collaborate on large research projects with increasing
