About this position
Nemours Children’s Health is advertising postdoctoral fellowship positions in Healthcare Delivery Sciences and Pediatric Research through the Center for Healthcare Delivery Science (CHDS) in the United States.
The fellowship is a two-year appointment for 2027–2029 with three positions: two based in Wilmington, Delaware, and one in Jacksonville or Orlando, Florida. One Delaware position focuses on obesity and disordered eating; the other positions are matched based on applicant interest and experience.
Research themes include care delivery for children with medical conditions, health equity, access to care, psychosocial and behavioral factors, the needs of youth, families, and pediatric providers, and technology-enhanced interventions. Fellows will work with a primary research faculty mentor within CHDS, led by Anne Kazak, Melissa Alderfer, and Susana Patton.
Responsibilities include developing an independent research focus, preparing and submitting mentored grant applications (for example, internal fellowship grants or NIH K23), participating in clinical research activities such as project planning, recruitment, data collection, data management, analyses, and manuscript preparation, and potentially completing up to 20% supervised clinical time for licensure hours if applicable.
The post is open to applicants from varied backgrounds such as psychology, nursing, and public health, especially those interested in clinical research and an academic research career. Compensation is listed as $68,217 for the 2027–2029 academic year, with a possible merit increase in year two, plus a professional development allowance and competitive benefits.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until the positions are filled. To apply, send a CV, a cover letter describing your research interests and career goals, and three letters of recommendation to Dr. Jessica Pierce at [email protected]. In the cover letter, state your location(s) of interest and mention the obesity/disordered eating position if relevant, without naming specific mentors.
