The overall mission of the CASI is to improve outcomes in aging and serious illness. Work with Dr. Christine Ritchie, the Director of the CASI and Kenneth Minaker Chair in Geriatrics at MGH, a board-certified geriatrician and palliative care physician whose research program focuses on improving care delivery and outcomes for older adults with multimorbidity and advanced illnesses; and Tamra Keeney, Director of CASI Data Core, a clinician scientist and physical therapist whose research agenda is focused on optimizing rehabilitation for older adults living with serious illness, including advanced heart failure.
The CASI is looking for an enthusiastic PhD student to join their interdisciplinary team. The ideal candidate will have relevant clinical experience working with older adults and/or those living with multimorbidity and serious illness (Alzheimer’s and related dementias, heart failure, cancer, etc.) and an interest conducting research to better understand care delivery and develop and test interventions. Students will have an opportunity to participate in a wide array of research areas, including observational research, mixed methods studies, and clinical trials.
