**Workplace:** remote

**Department:** Workforce Intelligence Lab (WIL)

## Description

WIL is seeking a Residency Program Director to plan and launch a new accredited rural physician residency program.

About the Workforce Intelligence Lab (WIL)

The Workforce Intelligence Lab (WIL) is an applied workforce research initiative. WIL builds methodology-transparent workforce intelligence, including labor demand signals, occupational and credential pathways, and training-to-employment outcome measures, and works with education, employer, research, and community partners to turn that evidence into grant and sponsored-project collaborations.

Opportunity type: this is a contingent proposal opportunity in WIL's expert collaborator network, not a funded vacancy. It supports a competitive grant application WIL is preparing; no award has been made, and there is no guaranteed work or funding. If an award proceeds and the staffing model calls for it, WIL may offer a project-based contract or consulting engagement. We will ask before naming you or including your resume in any proposal.

What you'll do

-   Lead residency program planning, including curriculum, rotations, and faculty structure
-   Guide the accreditation application and institutional sponsorship arrangements
-   Partner with rural hospitals, clinics, and academic sponsors
-   Plan faculty and resident recruitment
-   Develop the program budget and long-term financing plan
-   Contribute qualifications and past-performance narrative to WIL proposals when you authorize naming
