                    The Division of Research (DOR) of Kaiser Permanente Northern California seeks a senior researcher to become its Associate Director for Cancer Research. This individual will lead one of DOR’s six scientific sections and will participate in department-wide leadership activities. S/he will also maintain an independently funded research program and conduct scholarly research that is recognized nationally and internationally. A key part of this leadership role is to foster collaboration with Kaiser Permanente’s program, clinical trial, clinical and operational leaders on studies that evaluate ways to improve our understanding of the risk factors, mechanisms, outcomes and effective preventative and therapeutic strategies across the spectrum of different malignancies in children and adults. The Associate Director may be appointed at the Associate Professor or Professor-equivalent level.

                    This Associate Director position calls for a strong understanding and expertise related to cancer research, which can include epidemiology, evaluation of clinical and patient-centered care, outcomes assessment, and clinical trials. In general, DOR associate directors spend approximately 20% of their effort on leadership activities with their section faculty and for the department, and the remainder of their effort on their own research. The successful candidate is expected to maintain their own externally-funded research portfolio including NIH or other federal funding, collaborate with physicians and program leaders within Kaiser Permanente, work with other DOR researchers on content and methodological issues, and develop national and international collaborations to advance research, quality of care and outcomes related to cancer. Required qualifications include an MD or PhD and research experience equivalent to a DOR Research Scientist II or III (similar to an Associate Professor or Professor in a university-based setting).

                          The Division of Research of Kaiser Permanente, Northern California (KPNC DOR) seeks a physician health services researcher interested in studying and improving general outpatient care and population health through the use of predictive analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and clinical informatics. The successful candidate is expected to develop an independently funded research program, conduct scholarly research, and collaborate with Kaiser Permanente clinicians and leadership in developing and evaluating interventions to enhance outpatient care delivery and population health. These interventions could include embedding predictive models in the outpatient electronic health record or in cloud-based platforms. Depending on qualifications, the investigator may be appointed at the assistant professor, associate professor, or professor equivalent level.

                          This position will be part of two established DOR programs, the Systems Research Initiative (SRI), which focuses on the processes and outcomes of hospital care, hospitalization/rehospitalization prevention, and use of advanced analytics, and Augmented Clinical Intelligence (ACI), which focuses on the use of predictive analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence for enhancing clinical care. In addition, the successful candidate will have ready access to and support from Kaiser Permanente population health operational leadership.

                          Preferred qualifications include an MD degree; completion of residency training in internal medicine, family practice, or pediatrics; and post-residency training in health services research, clinical informatics, statistics, geriatrics, and/or clinical epidemiology. Opportunities for clinical practice (20-25% FTE) are available, as it is desirable that the successful candidate remain connected with clinical care.

                            The Division of Research of The Permanente Medical Group (Kaiser Permanente Northern California) seeks an investigator with a research focus in delivery science related to cancer care.  This individual will be expected to develop an independently funded research program, conduct scholarly research that is recognized nationally and internationally, and collaborate with Kaiser Permanente clinicians and leadership in evaluating or developing interventions to enhance the delivery of evidence-based cancer care. The investigator may be appointed at the assistant professor, associate professor, or professor-equivalent level.

                            This Research Scientist position calls for experience in clinical settings and expertise in evaluating clinical and patient-centered care and outcomes among cancer patients.  The investigator is expected to spend the majority of his/her time on research on the effectiveness or implementation of clinical interventions and approaches to health care delivery.  The successful candidate is expected to develop their own externally funded research portfolio, collaborate with others in our Delivery Science portfolio, collaborate with physicians and program leaders within Kaiser Permanente, work with other DOR cancer researchers on content and methodologic issues, and develop national and international collaborations to advance research in implementation and delivery science related to cancer care. This may include research anywhere along the cancer care continuum, from screening to navigation, treatment (including immuno-oncology), survivorship, or palliative and end of life care.  Areas of expertise may include, but are not limited to, patient-reported outcomes, digital health, genomic oncology, or cost of care/financial burden.
