[#DIV28SUPER] Senior Faculty Position Dartmouth College, Geisel School of Medicine

FACULTY POSITION IN APPLICATION OF DIGITAL HEALTH TO THE TREATMENT OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS AND/OR RELATED FIELDS

The Department of Biomedical Data Science at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth (Geisel) seeks an outstanding individual to join our faculty within the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH). CTBH is an interdisciplinary research group whose mission is to inform the optimal development, scientific evaluation, and sustainable implementation of digital therapeutics for behavioral health. CTBH is a designated "Center of Excellence" by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The successful candidate will be leading a vigorous research program on the application of digital health to the treatment of substance use disorders and/or related fields. This individual should be particularly experienced in leading clinical effectiveness trials and/or implementation science studies. This individual should have a strong track record of extramural funding and leadership in research on substance use disorders. As part of this faculty position, this individual will have the opportunity to join as a Core Investigator of the Northeast Node of the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network housed within CTBH. The Northeast Node leads and/or collaborates on NIH-supported multi-site addiction treatment research trials designed to identify and scale-up best practices in the treatment of substance use disorders. This individual may also join in the leadership of a P30 Center Core research grant awarded to CTBH from the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Successful individuals will be provided a tenure-track faculty appointment in the Department of Biomedical Data Science at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College commensurate with experience. Secondary appointments in other Geisel departments may be available. Candidates who currently hold the rank of Associate or Full Professor are preferred.

Applicants for all positions must have earned a PhD and/or MD (or equivalent), have formal advanced training in the fields described above, and should have a successful track record of peer-reviewed publications, and a history of extramural funding. Expectations for teaching and mentoring are a critical part of this role, and individuals will be provided with such opportunities through membership in relevant PhD graduate programs (e.g., The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice; Program in Quantitative Biomedical Sciences; Molecular and Cellular Biology). Training grants in relevant areas (e.g., Science of Co-occurring Disorders; the Burroughs Welcome training fund for Unifying Population and Laboratory-based Sciences) are available to support trainees in areas relevant to successful candidates.

The Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College is located in the picturesque Upper Connecticut River Valley on the NH and VT border; a vibrant, academic and professional community offering excellent schools, lively arts, and an unmatched quality of life in a beautiful setting. Amenities associated with urban areas of Boston MA, Burlington VT, New York, NY, and Montreal QC are within close proximity.

[#DIV28SUPER] APA 2022: Division 28 "Cheat Sheet"

Hi All,

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the APA conference in Minneapolis (Aug 4-6)!!!

I am going to keep these emails short because for some reason people don't seem to enjoy reading long, dense blocks of boilerplate text. 

I've attached the information for all of the Division 28-sponsored/co-listed events (including time, date, & locations).

Keep an eye out for more emails soon.

Best,
Jake

Subject: FINAL CALL: Invitation for your Division to participate in CODAPAR Study - Putting Age-Friendly Principles into Practice: Supporting and Engaging Late Stage Career Psychologists in APA
Date: June 21, 2022 at 11:21:10 AM EDT

      External Email - Use Caution      



Greetings, 
 
Thank you to those who sent out the CODAPAR invitation to your membership. A final round of reminders to your members would be great – the broader the representation in our sample of responses, the better.
 
Email message suggestion if you haven't sent out the invitation yet:
 

Dear APA Colleagues, 

 

You are invited to complete a survey as part of our CODAPAR needs assessment project, Putting Age-Friendly Principles into Practice: Supporting and Engaging Late Stage Career Psychologists in APA. The study is a collaboration of Divisions 20 (Adult Development and Aging), 12-2 (Clinical Geropsychology), 2 (Society for the Teaching of Psychology) and 18 (Psychologists in Public Service), and is funded by the APA Interdivisional Grant Program.

 

Survey Link: https://paloaltou.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_02mX4PuKkkCMcTQ.

 

The survey gathers information about how APA and its Divisions can better support and engage its members, especially those who are in their late career stages and those who may be considering retiring, are transitioning through retirement, or have retired. The study was in part motivated by Division 20's recent endorsement of the Age-Friendly University (AFU) initiative which provides a guiding framework for how institutions can respond to aging populations. This study extends the AFU philosophy to divisional practices by drawing on the AFU principle that advocates for engaging actively with one's retired community.
 

The survey includes background questions as well as questions that explore members' perspectives and interests as they relate to late career needs. The information will be used to address concerns by providing recommendations for programming and resources to support age-diverse individuals affiliated with APA. The survey is conducted via Qualtrics and should take about 10 minutes to complete.

 
Thank you for your time and effort!

Dear Colleague, 
 
We are writing to invite you and members of your APA Division to complete a survey as part of our CODAPAR needs assessment project, Putting Age-Friendly Principles into Practice: Supporting and Engaging Late Stage Career Psychologists in APA. The study is a collaboration of Divisions 20 (Adult Development and Aging), 12-2 (Clinical Geropsychology), 2 (Society for the Teaching of Psychology) and 18 (Psychologists in Public Service), and is funded by the APA Interdivisional Grant Program.
 
It would be greatly appreciated if you could distribute the survey invitation to your members using this link:https://paloaltou.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_02mX4PuKkkCMcTQ.
APA was not able to distribute the survey to members at this time and so we are relying on Divisional Presidents to reach out to their members. We suggest that you send out the survey asap, followed a week later with a reminder notice.
