[#DIV28SUPER] Digital Health Postdoctoral Fellowship at MUSC

Dear colleagues-

 

I am currently recruiting 1-2 postdoctoral fellows to join my research group at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC. A description of the position is below and I would appreciate it if you would share this posting with anyone who may be a good fit. Those interested can feel free to contact me directly with questions (dahne@musc.edu). Thank you!

 

Best,

Jen Dahne

 

Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Digital Mental Health at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in Charleston, SC

 

The MUSC Department of Psychiatry and the Hollings Cancer Center announce a research fellowship opportunity in behavioral health (smoking cessation, mood disorders) and technology-based interventions (telehealth, remote clinical trials). The position is for one year, which upon favorable progress and conditional upon funding may be renewed for a second year. Working with Dr. Jennifer Dahne, the fellow will assist with ongoing clinical trials related to smoking cessation and depression treatment. Additional ongoing projects center around development of innovative methods to improve the feasibility and rigor of remote trials. These projects are funded via multiple NIH grants including R01s and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) awards. Opportunities exist to develop new research projects within ongoing studies and for secondary analyses of existing datasets. Interest in academic entrepreneurship is welcomed, though not required. The candidate will have opportunities to collaborate on and lead scientific articles, collaborate on new NIH grant applications, and receive mentoring in developing new areas of grant-funded research relevant to behavioral health and telehealth. Applications from candidates that can extend our research in new and exciting directions (e.g., oncology, comorbid mental health and substance use disorders, novel technologies) would be particularly welcomed, and possibilities exist for pilot projects to advance future funding potential. In addition, the ideal candidate will a) have a PhD in clinical psychology (or related field, including health or biobehavioral psychology) from an APA accredited program, b) strong research experience and interest in behavioral health and technology-based interventions, c) record of research productivity and excellence in scientific writing, d) statistical proficiency, and e) career goals consistent with grant-funded academic medicine. Salary will exceed NIH standards for postdoctoral stipends, the position will include full benefits, and the fellow will be provided with additional financial support to be used for pilot research, travel, and other expenses that will help ensure career success. Historic Charleston is a beautiful city in coastal South Carolina, consistently rated as a top city in the United States, with access to fine dining, museums, and beaches available to all. To apply, send 1) cover letter, 2) CV, 3) short statement of research goals/interests, and 4) list of potential references to: Jennifer Dahne, PhD (dahne@musc.edu). Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and the position will remain open until filled. Priority will be given to applications received by January 31, 2023. Anticipated start date is flexible within 2023.

[#DIV28SUPER] Public comment - AHRQ/PCORI Draft Key Questions on Interventions for Disruptive Behavior Disorder in Children and Adolescents

Dear Division 28 Colleagues,

Apologies for cross-posting. The Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) Program at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), in partnership with the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), has posted the proposed key questions for the systematic review on Psychosocial and Pharmacologic Interventions for Disruptive Behavior in Children and Adolescents.

AHRQ is a government agency tasked with producing evidence to improve the quality of healthcare while working with partners to ensure that the evidence is understood and used.

PCORI is an independent nonprofit organization authorized by Congress in 2010. Its mission is to fund research that will provide patients, their caregivers and clinicians with the evidence-based information needed to make better-informed healthcare decisions. PCORI is committed to continuously seeking input from a broad range of stakeholders to guide its work.

Key decisional dilemmas for this review include determining the most effective treatments (while weighing benefits and harms) for disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) that include various psychosocial interventions, pharmacotherapy, or a combination of the two; determining if any patient, clinical, treatment characteristics or treatment history impact the benefits and harms of treatment; and determining the presence and extent of disparities in the diagnosis and treatment of DBDs.

 

Currently, the EPC program has posted the proposed key questions for the systematic review. They are available for your review and feedback until January 31, 2023 at the Effective Healthcare Web site.

 

Please share this announcement with your networks. For any questions, please contact Dr. Raquel Halfond, Senior Director, Evidence-based Practice & Health Equity, at rhalfond@apa.org.

 

Thank you,
