The Methodology Center in the College of Health and Human Development at The Pennsylvania State University seeks a qualified candidate for a non-tenure-track research faculty position. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of investigators in the Center to carry out methodologically innovative research related to drug abuse, and to disseminate this research broadly in the social, behavioral, and health sciences.

Candidates at either the assistant or associate level will be considered. This position involves, but is not limited to, conducting research focused on technical demonstrations and empirical studies using mixture models and time-varying coefficient models applied to data on substance use and comorbid risky behaviors.

Applications are being taken for a postdoctoral position housed at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), Department of Medicine, School of Medicine with cross-site training activities at the University of California, Irvine, Department of Psychological Science and the University of California San Diego (UCSD), Department of Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Services Research Center (CASRC).

According to a job posting, the position is for a full-time postdoctoral fellow with a strong interest in implementation science and digital mental health. The postdoctoral fellow will primarily work with Drs. Stephen Schueller (UCI, Psychological Science), Nicole Stadnick (UCSD/CASRC), and colleagues on a California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA) funded formative evaluation for the Innovation Technology Suite Project (INN Tech Suite Project).

The Survey Research Center (SRC) within the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan has an open rank (tenured or tenure-track) position with a focus on statistical methodology, data science, behavioral theory or some combination relevant to research on adaptive interventions (also known as dynamic treatment regimens) or just-in-time adaptive interventions.

Adaptive interventions provide a guide for customizing intervention (e.g., treatment, preventive or educational strategies) in a way that is tailored to the individual or organization. Just-in-time adaptive interventions often use mobile technologies to facilitate the delivery of individually-tailored interventions in near real-time. In health applications, this is an area of research that belongs to the domain of “precision medicine”.

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), is seeking exceptional candidates for the position of the Director of Environmental Science Cyberinfrastructure (DESC). The DESC will have primary responsibility for aligning the current and future cyberinfrastructure needs of NIEHS with overall scientific priorities in the field of environmental health sciences.

According to job posting, the DESC will develop, implement, and coordinate a multitude of resource environments in information technology and scientific computing to support and propel a wide array of current and future scientific research opportunities at NIEHS.

The Behavioral Research in Technology and Engineering (BRiTE) Center in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine has an opening for a full-time, 12-month service period appointment, at the Assistant or Associate Professor level without tenure.
