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 Department of Psychology at the University of California, Los Anglees has an opening gfor a tenure-track Assistant Professor or tenured early Associate Professor in the Biopsychosocial Science of Health.

According to an announcement, UCLA seeks applicants who are pursuing innovative and collaborative biopsychosocial research on the dynamic interactions among psychological, social, behavioral, and biological factors, and their impact on health and disease. Example topic areas include health across the lifespan, and widely accessible approaches to prevention and intervention. Potential affiliations within the Department of Psychology include health, clinical, social, developmental, and other areas.

The Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences in the Brown University School of Public Health has an tenure-track opening for a scientist faculty member at the Assistant Professor level. The position will be available July 1, 2019.

According to a job posting, Brown is seeking candidates who have experience in digital technologies for public health, including but not limited to technology-based interventions for public health and global health. Focus areas include smartphone applications, wearable sensors, geospatial mapping and fencing, software development, and quantitative methods for analysis of mHealth data. The target behaviors or health conditions could include but are not limited to substance use disorders, physical activity, nutrition, obesity, and HIV.

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.

The BRiTE Center focuses on the development and implementation of technology-based interventions for mental illness and behavioral health problems. The center emphasizes interdisciplinary team science approaches and proactively partners with technologists, healthcare delivery systems, and technology industry in pursuit of its goals.

Pennsylvania State University's College of Health and Human Development is seeking applicants for the position of Professor and Founding Director of the Center for Individualized Health Research and Intervention (CIHRI). 

According to the job posting, the new center will be focused on improving public health by advancing research that leverages new and emerging technologies, methods, and data sources to establish, promote, and sustain health and positive health behaviors through novel data capture and intervention strategies.
