[#DIV28SUPER] Faculty Position at Illinois Institute of Technology

Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in either Industrial and Organizational Psychology or Clinical Psychology, to begin August, 2019. The I-O specialization requires a PhD in I-O psychology, quantitative psychology, measurement or a related field, while the clinical specialization requires a Ph.D. from an APA- or CPA-accredited clinical psychology program. Faculty activities include establishing an independent research program, research mentoring, and teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels. We are seeking applicants with a strong record of research productivity. In addition to contributing to the I-O or Clinical programs, we especially encourage applicants whose work fits the broader mission of the department and University, including candidates who specialize in an area of scholarship that leverages technology or has implications for technology, or who have an interest in developing relationships with underserved and low SES communities in the Chicago area.

I-O Psychology Program: The I-O Program at Illinois Tech is dedicated to a scientist-practitioner model with a balance of research and practice. Current areas of I-O program strength include methodology, selection, training, leadership, occupational health psychology, humanitarian work psychology, diversity and cross-cultural research. An ideal candidate will complement and strengthen the current areas of expertise in the program, with preference for research and teaching interests in methodology, big data and analytics, or group dynamics and technology.

Clinical Psychology Program: The APA-accredited Clinical Psychology Program at Illinois Tech is dedicated to a scientist-practitioner model, with a balance of research and practice and a cognitive-behavioral focus. We are seeking applicants with a strong record of research productivity and the potential to secure external funding. The research emphasis is open, but we are particularly interested in the areas of neuropsychology, addiction science, trauma, mood disorders, aging, and health psychology.

 

The Department of Psychology has three scientist-practitioner graduate programs, in Clinical Psychology, I-O Psychology, and Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling, as well as a growing undergraduate program. Faculty and students work in a collaborative atmosphere both within and between programs. Many faculty collaborate with the Center for Research and Service, an on-site consulting center that supports training, funding, and research efforts of students and faculty and draws on our close affiliations with organizations in the city and suburbs. More information on the I-O and Clinical programs and the Department of Psychology can be found at http://www.iit.edu/psych/. Illinois Institute of Technology is located in the vibrant city of Chicago with wide range of opportunities for research and consulting.

The Department of Psychology is committed to promoting a climate that enhances diversity and inclusion, and also to achieving diversity in its faculty. We are particularly interested in applications from qualified applicants who could contribute to the diversity of our department.

A letter of interest (including statements regarding research and teaching), curriculum vitae, selected publications, and three letters of recommendation should be sent to iitpsych_search-group@iit.edu (or alternatively I-O/Clinical Search Committee, 3424 South State Street, Tech Central Room 201, Chicago, IL 60616). For questions regarding the position, contact Dr. Frank Lane lane@iit.edu or 312-567-8862. Review of candidates will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Illinois Institute of Technology is an EEO/AA/Title VI/Title IX/Section 504/ADA/ADEA employer committed to enhancing equity, inclusion and diversity within its community. It actively seeks applications from all individuals regardless of race, color, sex, marital status, religion, creed, national origin, disability, age, military or veteran status, sexual orientation, and/or gender identity and expression.

Subject: Extended Deadline: APF Walter Katkovsky Research Grants
To:

Up to $20,000 APF Walter Katkovsky Research Grants on the general topic of combining psychotherapy with a psychoactive substance that may be an over-the-counter or other legal substance or a prescription medication, where the substance is an adjunct to the psychotherapy and not the primary intervention.  Although determining the effectiveness of the psychoactive substance, whether it consists of a prescribed medication or other psychoactive substance and its dosage may be intrinsic to the research, the hypotheses to be tested in the research should not be on the psychoactive substance per se but rather on conditions that may be associated with decisions to introduce or discontinue the substance in the treatment plan and with the outcomes of combining these treatments.

Examples include but are not limited to the following:

• Individual differences in patient variables that may favor or contraindicate combining psychotherapy and a psychoactive substance.
• In-therapy variations in goals, structure, methods, theoretical orientation, therapist/patient interactions, and expected frequency and duration of meetings as they affect the appropriateness of combined treatments;
• Research to establish recommendations on process variables on how best to introduce alternatives that may include changing or discontinuing a medication or another psychoactive substance;
• Since the primary intervention in the proposal should be psychotherapy, and the intent of the Fund is not to test the effectiveness of prescription medications, a proposal that includes a comparison condition of a prescription medication without psychotherapy will not be funded. In contrast, a proposal involving a non-prescription substance may include a psychoactive substance alone vs. psychotherapy alone and/or a combined condition.

The proposal must describe in detail the experimental methodology (i.e., hypotheses, subject selection, and measures of independent and dependent variables, including a description of the psychotherapy that must deal with life problems and emotional/behavioral reactions) and result in the collection of new data.  

Three $20,000 grants and three $10,000 grants are available.

This grant is open to psychologists with up to 12 years of post-doctoral experience. 

The deadline for proposals is January 1, 2019.

[#DIV28M] position announcement - Moffitt Cancer Center

See below for a position announcement at the Moffitt Cancer Center. Sorry for any cross-posting!

 

 

I’m excited to announce that the Department of Health Outcomes and Behavior (HOB) at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida has an open faculty line, with tobacco research identified as a focus area for the search. Researchers at Moffitt’s Tobacco Research and Intervention Program (Tom Brandon, Dave Drobes, Vani Simmons, Dave Evans, and Christine Vinci) conduct human laboratory and applied/treatment studies on a wide range of topics.  The announcement follows:

 

Faculty Position (Open Rank) in Department of Health Outcomes and Behavior

Moffitt Cancer Center

 

The Department of Health Outcomes and Behavior (HOB) at Moffitt Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center on the campus of the University of South Florida, in Tampa, is seeking a faculty member (open rank) with research interests that complement or enhance our existing strengths in behavioral science and outcomes research.  

 

The Department has 18 faculty engaged in research on tobacco use, cancer prevention and early detection, quality of life during and after cancer treatment, cancer-related health disparities, cancer caregivers, and health outcomes.  We welcome applicants with any relevant area of research, but we are particularly interested in expanding our research in (1) cancer care delivery or implementation science, to capitalize upon the resources available at the Center, and (2) tobacco research, to complement existing research in this area.

 

Resources for conducting research include the center’s integrated repository of clinical and research data on a large cohort of patients (Total Cancer Care® plus founding membership in the Oncology Research Information Exchange Network), diverse networks of community partners, a state-wide affiliate network of treatment providers, several research centers of excellence, and shared resources that include biostatistics, biomedical informatics, and survey methods.  Moreover, Moffitt is a leader in the development of clinical care pathways and innovative payment models that lend themselves to applied research.  Intra- and inter-disciplinary collaborations are encouraged and facilitated.

 

Successful candidates must hold a doctorate degree and have relevant research training and experience. We seek academic researchers who can contribute immediately, as evidenced by a history of peer-reviewed funding and publication.   Academic rank beyond that of Assistant Member/Assistant Professor will be commensurate with experience and qualifications.  The position is tenure-earning.  Salary and start-up funds are highly competitive.

 

Tampa was recently named an “urban gem” and the “Best City in the Southeast” by Money magazine.  Aside from the sunshine, beaches, and year-round outdoor recreation associated with the Gulf Coast of Florida, Tampa is a thriving metropolitan city with unique cultural attractions, low cost of living, and a high quality of life. Moffitt faculty members typically hold appointments in the Department of Oncologic Sciences or other departments at the university.  Moffitt-based faculty members focus their efforts on research, with minimal expectations for formal teaching. 

 

Questions regarding the position should be directed to: David Drobes, Ph.D., Search Committee Chair, Department of Health Outcomes and Behavior (David.Drobes@moffitt.org). 

 

To apply, visit our website Moffitt.org/Careers and refer to requisition number 29131 or click Health Outcomes and Behavior Faculty.  Review of applications will begin on February 1^st and continue until position is filled.  Start date is flexible.
