Description
The Institute for Implementation Science in Health Care IfIS is based at the Medical Faculty. Implementation Science is an applied research field dedicated to optimizing the integration of evidence-based practices and research findings into routine practice to improve the quality and effectiveness of health care.
The research group of Prof. Lauren Clack Implementation Science in Health Care offers a Postdoctoral position in Implementation Science with involvement primarily in the following two research projects:
1) The Implementation Science work package of the EU Horizon 2020 Framework project NeoIPC. The objective of the project is to establish innovative approaches for optimal infection prevention of resistant bacteria in Neonatal Intensive Care Units by integrating clinical research, implementation science and surveillance.
2) The Citizen Science and Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) work package of the ITINERARE project, a University Research Priority Program (URPP) focused on translational research for rare diseases.
