The Massachusetts Veterans Epidemiology Research and Information Collaborative (MAVERIC) is a large conglomerate of national research centers located at VA Boston Healthcare System (VABHCS), supported by VA Office of Research and Development (ORD). Established in 1997, MAVERIC's mission is to improve the health and care of Veterans and the nation through development and national deployment of technological innovations and research methodologies that facilitate medical knowledge discovery.
MAVERIC’s mission is aligned with the VA’s mission to improve the health and wellbeing of Veterans. Our organization has received immense support from VABHCS, the New England Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN1), VA ORD, our affiliates, the global research community, and the Veteran community. Our employees are dedicated to excellence and quality in developing cutting-edge innovations in many aspects of clinical science and population research.
MAVERIC employs a wide range of research scientific, operational, and administrative staff including project managers, biostatisticians, computer programmers, database managers, program and staff assistants, career development awardees, physicians, quality assurance personnel, and administrative personnel who all contribute to research studies, and initiatives in support of our mission.
Another critical part of MAVERIC's mission is educating the next generation of clinicians, researchers, and healthcare workers. We have robust fellowship and joint training programs with the schools of public health and medicine at both Boston University and Harvard Medical School. We also offer VA-sponsored post-doctoral fellowships in data science. MAVERIC offers internships for current students at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Our primary academic affiliations include:
Harvard School of Public Health · Harvard Medical School · Brigham and Women's Hospital · Boston University School of Public Health · Boston University School of Medicine.
In addition to civilian partnerships, MAVERIC collaborates with other federal agencies including Department of Defense, National Cancer Institute, and Food & Drug Administration.
MAVERIC offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting edge medical research through a wide variety of research roles. As an independent research organization within VA, we offer a start-up, research-driven atmosphere with the resources of the federal government. The VA hires qualified individuals without regard to race, age, gender identity or disability.
Our main location is in the heart of downtown Boston, easily accessible by public transportation and major highways. Research clinics and our biorepository are located at the VA Boston Healthcare System, Jamaica Plain campus.
We're always looking for talented people with a passion for improving the quality of healthcare for our Veterans. Applicants for employment with MAVERIC must be U.S. citizens and can expect to be subject to a background check. Open positions are listed on USA Jobs.
