Job Description

Position Description

The Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington is seeking candidates for one full-time faculty position at the rank of Research Assistant Professor to start in Summer 2024.

Research Assistant Professors are eligible for multi-year appointments that align with a 12-month service period (July 1-June 30). Faculty with 12-month service periods are paid for 11 months of service over a 12-month period (July-June), meaning the equivalent of one month is available for paid time off. University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research, and service. This title is not eligible for tenure due to funding.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be based at the Center for the Study of Health & Risk Behaviors (CSHRB) , which is part of the UW School of Medicine. This position will be expected to engage in independent research in one of the following areas related to substance abuse: etiology, prevention and treatment of substance and behavioral addictions, co-occurring risk behaviors (e.g., sexual risk taking, aggression, alcohol, marijuana, substance use, gambling, risky driving) and comorbid medical and mental disorders (e.g., diabetes, depression, PTSD) among adolescents, young adults and adults; substance use policy and/or health/health care policy research relevant to addictive behaviors; assessment or intervention using mobile, wireless and/or wearable technology; adaptive intervention designs; cognitive, neurocognitive, or biological mechanisms underlying substance use; Community Based Participatory Research, particularly with traditionally underserved populations; mindfulness-based relapse prevention; advanced methodological design and/or statistical methods in psychiatric and social epidemiology.

This position will also be engaged in development or philanthropic/advancement activities, development and execution of service contracts, and applications for extramural foundation, CDC, NIH, NSF, SAMHSA, DOD, DOE, or equivalent funding. CSHRB is primarily funded through research grants and contracts. As appropriate and available, there may be opportunities for applicants to teach in related departments, though that is neither required nor guaranteed. This position will be engaged in research mentoring of postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and other trainees and learners.

Salary

The base salary range for this position will be $8,500-$10,417 per month ($102,000-$125,004 annually). Salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications, or as mandated by a U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage determination.

Qualifications

A PhD or comparable terminal doctoral degree or foreign equivalent.
