The Nebraska Healthcare Collaborative, in partnership with the University of Nebraska at Kearney, is proud to announce its Nebraska Healthcare Collaborative Chair of Population Health.
The Collaborative is a new organization whose mission is to facilitate cross-sector collaborations of diverse stakeholders optimizing health care delivery through teams that study and propose solutions to improve population health. This position is an endowed position and the individual will work with cross-sector partnerships on exciting population health research. The newly formed Cyber Systems Department at the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK) is seeking applications from highly qualified candidates for a newly created position entitled the Nebraska Healthcare Collaborative Chair of Population Health. The Chair will fulfill an integrative role within the University of Nebraska providing leadership, strategic planning, and advocacy in an effort to advance population health research, interprofessional education, and collaborative practice.
The position represents a unique partnership with the Nebraska Healthcare Collaborative, a division of Nebraska Health Information Initiative (NEHII), and the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK). The Chair will work directly with the Chief Academic Program Officer of NEHII to establish an annual research agenda for population health, will oversee a budget and have access to a unique, comprehensive dataset designed to support this research agenda, and will serve on the Board of the Nebraska Healthcare Collaborative. It is envisioned that the Chair’s population health research agenda will draw from new approaches in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data visualization aimed at analyzing large scale social, economic, and progressive healthcare data and resulting in translational research and practical solutions to a wide variety of issues related to population health. In general, data science advocacy across many domains is an important part of the position, as the Chair’s leadership will play a critical role in the growth of data science at UNK.
The Chair will be part of the Cyber Systems Department and will support the data science curriculum for UNK’s College of Business and Technology (CBT). Currently CBT has programs accredited by AACSB, ATMAE, and CIDA, with significant progress toward ABET accreditation as well.
