The Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy at Baylor College of Medicine is hiring a full-time Senior Research Assistant with strong empirical research skills (qualitative and/or quantitative) to work on funded projects examining ethical, legal, and social issues related to data sharing, psychedelics, precision medicine, and public health surveillance. This position will be based in Houston, TX. Preference will be given to applicants who can work in person; remote applicants will be considered.

The Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy at Baylor College of Medicine is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Associate for a two-year non-laboratory research position. The selected candidate will support the Director of the Center, Dr. Amy McGuire, on funded research related to neuroethics (e.g., data sharing and brain privacy, predictive testing for Alzheimer’s disease) and psychedelics (e.g., healthcare gatekeeping and the clinical integration of psychedelic medicine). This position is expected to begin in 2024.

We seek a candidate who has a strong interest and background in research ethics, is willing to serve on an IRB, and ideally has participated in research ethics consultations.  The position currently has 0.20 FTE dedicated to research ethics activities, and with two research institutes (one at UAMS and one at ACH) and a CTSA, we believe the ideal candidate will have opportunities to grow support for more dedicated time and activities for research ethics.
