Faculty Positions: Implementation and Evaluation Scientists: Assessment of Innovative Cancer Interventions, Treatments, Survivorship, and Modes of Cancer Care Delivery

About the role

Mayo Clinic and Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center (MCCCC) - at each of its destination medical center sites in Rochester, Minnesota; Jacksonville, Florida; and Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona - invite applications for open-rank faculty positions for Implementation and Evaluation Scientists. These positions are associated with leadership opportunities and a commitment to translating cancer research into clinical and community impact.

Responsibilities

• Conduct research focused on assessment of the efficacy and impact of highly innovative, transformative cancer interventions, including cancer prevention and therapeutic interventions, new clinical trial designs, cancer survivorship, and highly innovative modes of cancer care delivery and clinical trials within and beyond our walls in patient home and community settings.
• Develop and lead a focused program of research in cancer treatment delivery, symptom management, survivorship, or quality of life.
• Design and lead pragmatic trials, hybrid effectiveness-implementation studies, and real-world evaluations in one or more areas of treatment delivery, supportive care, and survivorship.
• Apply implementation science frameworks (e.g., CFIR, RE-AIM, PRISM) to guide study design, evaluation, and interpretation in real-world cancer care contexts.
• Generate real-world evidence that informs clinical and operational decision-making and supports the integration of evidence-based practices in one or more areas of cancer treatment delivery, supportive care, or survivorship, including work conducted in community, health system, and other real-world settings.
• Partner with clinicians, scientists, health system leaders, and community stakeholders to co-develop and implement interventions to improve cancer care delivery and outcomes.
• Evaluate implementation outcomes (e.g., adoption, fidelity, sustainability, reach, cost) and assess the functional and financial impact of interventions on performance, workflow efficiency, resource utilization, and cancer care delivery outcomes.
• Partner with operational leaders to align implementation strategies with payer and regulatory requirements, including Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) quality programs when applicable.
• Generate evidence on the value, scalability, and return on investment of implementation strategies and cancer care interventions to support decision-making.
• Mentor trainees and junior investigators in pragmatic trials, implementation science, and evaluation methods applied to cancer research.
• Collaborate across Mayo Clinic sites and with external partners to scale impactful cancer care interventions.

Qualifications

• PhD, MD, or equivalent in public health, health services research, behavioral science, evaluation science, implementation science, or a related field.
• Demonstrated expertise in evaluation science, implementation science, pragmatic trials, mixed-methods research, or related applied research methods.
• Strong track record of peer-reviewed publications and peer-reviewed funding in relevant scientific areas (or demonstrated strong potential if early career).
• Experience working in healthcare systems and/or community-engaged research.
• Expertise in conducting research in health systems or multi-site research.
