DPC Seeking First Ever Director of Research:

Since 2009, when a groundbreaking report on disability health disparities
by Dennis Heaphy laid the groundwork for One Care, research has been a core
part of DPC's work. In the years since, we've worked with partners
including Brandeis University, Academy Health, Mathematica, and the Rippel
Foundation, on projects ranging from the future of health for people with
disabilities to the impact of opiates and opiate policy on our community.

Now, we're ready to take our research work to the next level, and we're
looking for a full-time Director of Research to lead our efforts. This
position will lead DPCs research division, including serving as principal
investigator on a major national project, and will work with our Executive
Director to launch new initiatives, hire up-and-coming researchers, and
make DPC into a national hub for disability research. Our goal is for DPC
to become a place where disabled researchers can flourish, and that can set
a clear national standard that research about people with disabilities must
be done by people with disabilities.

barriers to accessing Long Term Services and Supports for disabled people
of color.
Supervise members of DPC's research team, and help to recruit junior
researchers as the need arises.
Work with the Development Associate and Executive Director to identify
and pursue additional research opportunities, including contributing to
grant applications, developing workplans, and taking on leadership roles
for future projects.

Salary: $62,000

Benefits: Fully employer-paid dental insurance, life insurance, and
long-term disability insurance. 75% Individual Premium Reimbursement/ 50%
Family Plan Reimbursement for

Start: April 2022

This is a full-time role, but significant schedule flexibility is possible.
Position will begin as remote, with the expectation of becoming hybrid in
future.

Because of the nature of the critical research they will be leading,
candidates who are both people with disabilities and people of color will
be prioritized for this role.

If you are interested in applying for this position, or know someone who
might be a good fit, please email kbradshaw@dpcma.org

critical staff are the ones who work directly with MassHealth members and

Job Description
