[#DIV28SUPER] Assistant/ Associate/ Full Professor in behavioral and translational science of addiction at Northeastern University

Northeastern University is searching for multiple tenured and tenure-track faculty positions at all ranks (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and/or Professor) in the broad research area of Mental Health. As part of a cluster hire, Bouve College of Health Sciences seeks an open rank (assistant/ associate/ full professor) scholar with research and expertise in the broad area of behavioral and translational science of addiction. An understanding of the populations at greatest risk of addiction and behaviors underlying that risk is needed to develop, test and implement efficacious new interventions for prevention and treatment and to impact public health policy. The ability to apply methods, tools and findings across contexts and disciplines is also essential. To that end, we seek a scholar capable of leading and collaborating on translational research. We have particular interest in a scholar with expertise in areas that are existing strengths for Bouve and Northeastern, including, but not limited to technology-based assessment or intervention, artificial intelligence/big data, behavioral neuroscience, behavioral genetics, the genetics of addiction, animal models of addiction, counseling interventions in-person and/or via telehealth, health care policy; and social justice/reduction of stigma. There is strong potential for collaborations on translational research with investigators from the Center for Drug Discovery, the College of Science, the College of Social Sciences and the Humanities, the College of Arts, Media and Design, the School of Law, and other units at Northeastern.

 

RESPONSIBILITIES

The successful candidate will be located in Boston and have a tenure home in one of the 8 departments in the Bouve College and will be jointly appointed at another department/college at the university (to be determined based on the candidates' expertise). The candidate will also engage undergraduate and graduate teaching and student advising, lead/participate in experiential learning opportunities for students, such as capstones and directed research, as well as serving on dissertation committees, and engaging in service activities in the Department, College, and University. We seek individuals who can leverage their program of research to facilitate collaborations with other Colleges and nodes of Northeastern global university system (the Network), who are interested in the behavioral and translational science of addiction and bring innovative pedagogical methods into undergraduate, graduate and professional lifelong learning.

QUALIFICATIONS

A Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent doctoral degree in a public health field (e.g., health behavior, epidemiology), psychology (clinical/counseling or experimental), pharmaceutical sciences, or a related field required by the appointment start date. Candidates must articulate or demonstrate a commitment to undergraduate/graduate teaching excellence and a record of interdisciplinary scholarly achievement commensurate with rank. The successful applicant will have a robust research portfolio and demonstrate extramural funding or the promise to secure such funding.
