for two full time Human Factors Engineering
scientists (MS and PhD level) to join the National Center for Human Factors Engineering in
Healthcare. The Center will be founded in August 2010 by the MedStar
Institute for Innovation in Washington DC, part of
MedStar Health. The Center will apply human factors engineering
& ergonomics principles and research methods to healthcare with a focus on improving
safety, efficiency, and reliability in the medical domain.
MedStar Health is a
9-hospital system which includes two academic medical centers, Georgetown
University Hospital and the Washington Hospital Center. The MedStar system
is an outstanding clinical laboratory for human factors research, as it has
clinically diverse hospitals and an exceptional research support
infrastructure from the
MedStar Health Research Institute as well as an academic
partnership with Georgetown University.
The positions are now open at MedStar Health, through
the Washington Hospital Center, with academic appointments at Georgetown
University. The positions will be located in Washington DC.
The MedStar recruiting office
is assisting to identify ideal candidates, and the position
descriptions and links to applications are available via the following
links:
Human Factors Research Scientist (MS preferred)
Senior Human Factors Research Scientist (PhD preferred)
If for some reason you have trouble with the links go to
[this link] for the ‘position search’ page, then type “human factors’
into the keyword box, and click search.
Also, a research assistant position is anticipated later this summer or
early fall, but the position will not be open until the grant funding
starts.
