Position Summary

Our research team, co-led by Drs. Anubha Agarwal and Mark Huffman, is seeking outstanding candidates for a fully funded postdoctoral research fellowship focused on global cardiovascular implementation research in the Division of Cardiology and Department of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, United States.

This is a full-time position for an individual interested in expanding their qualitative and mixed-methods research skills and experience in the context of a series of NIH-funded global research studies related to fixed-dose combination therapies (or polypills) for cardiovascular disease including hypertension and heart failure.

The postdoctoral research fellowship will receive hands-on mentorship and supervision by Drs. Anubha Agarwal and Mark Huffman, in addition to opportunities to interact with other faculty in the Center for Global Health at Washington University in St. Louis and our global collaborators (The George Institute for Global Health in Australia, Centre for Chronic Disease Control in India, and RemediumOne in Sri Lanka). The fellow will be able to take full advantage of training, education, and mentorship opportunities offered through Washington University, including opportunities to travel to our global research sites. The candidate is expected to work in a highly collaborative, international, and fast-paced environment.

Funding is currently available for up to one year for this post-doctoral fellowship opportunity. There is a potential for funding a second year. The position is contingent upon performance.

Although a hybrid position is preferred with some in-person time at Washington University, a fully remote position will be considered for exceptional candidates.
