The Michigan State University College of Human Medicine seeks a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate to join a multidisciplinary research team
Led by Dr. Steven J. Ondersma and Dr. Claire Margerison, this team is launching a seven-year community-engaged trial testing the ability of a multi-level digital intervention—augmented with on-demand live chat assistance from a Community Health Worker—to reduce pregnancy-related and -associated maternal morbidity and mortality (PRAMM). This study is part of the MSU MIRACLE Center, an NIH Maternal Health Research Center of Excellence funded under the NIH IMPROVE Initiative. Ondersma’s research focuses on healthcare-based digital screening and interventions seeking to promote better pregnancy outcomes, often using the NIH-funded, open-source, no-code platform www.cias.app. Margerison’s research focuses on understanding the determinants of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic inequities in women’s health, particularly before, during, and after pregnancy and on identifying policy changes and preventative strategies to eliminate inequities and promote justice.
