[#DIV28SUPER] New Postdoctoral Position at the Health Promotion Research Center

Sharing this job opportunity for a colleague:

Post-Doctoral Fellowship

 

The newly renamed Health Promotion Research Center (HPRC; formerly the Oklahoma Tobacco Research Center) of the NCI Designated Stephenson Cancer Center (SCC) at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) is seeking applications for one (1) postdoctoral research fellow (2-3 year appointment) who aspires to become an independent academic researcher in the areas of mobile health (mHealth), tobacco cessation, cancer prevention, and health disparities.

 

The fellow will primarily work with Dr. Michael Businelle on multiple completed and ongoing research studies that utilize smartphones and sensors (e.g., mobile carbon monoxide monitor, GPS) to collect data and automatically intervene to reduce unhealthy behaviors (e.g., smoking, at-risk drinking) in real-time (see recent studies at https://www.businellelab.com/). Dr. Businelle is the Co-director of the HPRC and Director of the SCC mHealth Shared Resource. View information about the HPRC, the training program, and the mHealth resource here: https://otrc.stephensoncancercenter.org/).

 

The fellow will receive training in developing and testing automated smartphone based Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAI) using our Insight^TM mHealth Platform. Insight^TM enables researchers to rapidly (i.e., within 1-2 weeks) create smartphone-based research studies that may include ecological momentary assessments and sensor data (i.e., activity monitor, mobile carbon monoxide monitor) to identify environmental, cognitive, affective, physiological, and behavioral antecedents of health risk behaviors and deliver context-specific adaptive interventions in real-time. The mHealth resource is currently staffed by 7 computer scientists/engineers and 4 additional staff members. To date, the mHealth resource has supported approximately 50 studies worth over $30 million in total costs including 25 studies that were funded by the NIH.

 

The fellow will be highly involved in manuscript preparation (primary and secondary roles) using data from multiple completed and ongoing JITAIs that address smoking (i.e., Smart-T2, Smart-T3, Phoenix), alcohol use (i.e., Smart-T Alcohol), case management (i.e., Link2Care), anxiety/depression in cancer patients (i.e., Persist), and COVID-19 (i.e., Symptom Tracker). The fellow will also receive training in novel quantitative and statistical approaches such as multi-level modeling and structural equation modeling, training in grant writing and preparation, conducting clinical trials, and mobile health research methods (see more here: https://otrc.stephensoncancercenter.org/Training).

 

Qualifications include a doctoral degree in the behavioral sciences, public health, psychology, or other relevant area. Fellow duties are highly focused on writing (e.g., papers, grant applications), thus excellent writing skills are required. Experience with diverse populations, tobacco research, health disparities, and quantitative methods are preferred but not required. Salary and benefits are excellent! In addition, fellows will have access to funds to conduct research, and attend external trainings and conferences.

 

Interested candidates should send a curriculum vitae and cover letter stating their research interests and career goals to Michael-Businelle@ouhsc.edu

 

Oklahoma City is the anchor of a rapidly growing, multicultural metropolitan area with a population of 1.3 million, over 300 days of sunshine annually, very affordable cost of living, excellent schools and a wide array of cultural amenities.

In collaboration with Mackenzie Lemieux - a Wikipedia wiz, future MD/PhD student at Washington University in St. Louis, and all-around great person - the Opioid Policy Institute is coordinating an Addiction Science Wikipedia Hackathon. While as scientists we may spend a lot of time reading peer-reviewed journals, much of the web still relies on the knowledge provided by Wikipedia. Our goal with this event is to increase evidence-based information about addiction science on Wikipedia (citing peer-reviewed articles!), contribute edits that use person-centered language (let's take on stigma!), and promote the diversity represented in addiction science by creating Wiki pages (the Marian W Fischman Lectureship Award and the many illustrious awardees, to start!). Our event will provide a walk-through on how to edit/use Wikipedia and identify pages that may need additional information.

Another great announcement about a FREE APA Convention social activity. This fantastic event (see details below) will occur immediately proceeding our Division 28 Mini-Convention event (on Friday August 7th from 2-350pm EST;  https://tinyurl.com/y9x85e75), making for an excellent afternoon of science!

The time is drawing near – it's almost time for our Early Career Poster Session & Social Hour: Friday, August 7, 4:00-6:00pm EST!  This event is hosted by Division 50 and 28, funded by NIAAA and NIDA, and done in collaboration with Divisions 38, 5 and 25. 

 

As you know, this event has been happening at the annual convention of the APA for the past 13+ year.  This year for the first time we are holding it as a 2-hr virtual session.  I invite you all join us to celebrate our selected awardees, and to get together to share science and connect during these turbulent times.  

 

To this end, I wanted to share three things with you:

• Pre-registration: please use this link to pre-register for the event:https://redcap.partners.org/redcap/surveys/?s=4CJLK3FJL8

Pre-registration is not required, but by completing this short form, you make it easier for us to get in touch with you if we experience any technological glitches.  It also helps us track the reach of this event.  

• Overview of how this virtual meeting works: please see the attached brochure, which provides:
  • Description of the format for this meeting
  • Schedule of events
  • And – most importantly – the names of our presenters and the titles of their talks
• Website to view each poster: https://scholar.harvard.edu/bettina.hoeppner/niaaanida-early-career-investigator-poster-session-and-social-hour  

We are still uploading posters as we are getting them, but with some luck we'll have all posters ready for your perusal by the end of the week.

 

I very much hope you'll be able to join us for this important networking and substance use science event.  There is no registration cost, and no requirements for APA registration.  Everyone is welcome.  I hope to see you, your mentors, mentees, colleagues and friends there!

 

All the best,

 

Bettina
