Faculty Position
Risk Prevention and Intervention
Developmental Neuroscientist (Early to Mid-Career)
Transdisciplinary Science and Translational Prevention Program (TSTPP)
RTI International
The Transdisciplinary Science and Translational Prevention Program at RTI International has an opening for a Research Scientist in the Baltimore MD program office. Our program of research includes both children/adolescents and adults and focuses on identifying neurobiological predictors and mediators of risk behaviors and intervention outcomes, isolating consequences from precursors in drug and alcohol initiation and escalation, and assessing environmental and psychosocial influences on neurodevelopment that affect risk and intervention responsivity. Our overriding mission is to translate knowledge from science to practice and policy to develop more effective approaches to prevention and treatment and exert a broader public health impact.
The person who fills this position will serve as a co- investigator on ongoing studies and initiate/lead new studies relating to the science, treatment, and prevention of high risk behaviors and related psychopathology. Candidates will possess a doctoral degree in psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience or a related field with a concentration in developmental neurobiology. Essential technical capabilities include neuroimaging, cognitive and emotion regulatory assessment, and psychophysiology in the context of environmental influences and behavioral and health outcomes. Familiarity with research on etiology, vulnerability, treatment and/or prevention of drug abuse, antisocial behavior and related high risk behaviors and psychopathology is desirable. Individuals are sought with the ability to conduct longitudinal statistical modeling (e.g., using MPlus) and translational methods. The position requires excellent oral and written communication skills, strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work successfully in interdisciplinary teams. In addition, capabilities in quantitative analysis and ability to process imaging data are required. Although success in obtaining research grants and being able to bring existing funding to RTI is a significant benefit, it is not a requirement.
Responsibilities:
Study design and oversight
Designing brain imaging tasks
Scanning and testing human subjects
Analyzing and interpreting imaging, physiological, psychological and behavioral data
Willingness to be mentored to obtain and/or assist in acquiring research funding for new grants and contracts
Co-authoring technical reports and articles for submission to scholarly journals
Performing statistical analyses on longitudinal, prospective data
Facilitating the development of approaches to understanding and preventing risk behaviors
Motivating, mentoring and supervising junior research staff.
Qualifications:
Ph.D. in neuroscience, psychiatry, or areas of psychology with focus on neuroscience
Experience in designing, collecting, analyzing, and interpreting an array of neuroimaging, psychological, behavioral and experiential data
Experience relevant to obtaining or assisting in the process of acquiring research funding for new grants and contracts
Experience supervising junior research staff
Experience overseeing research studies
Experience in cross-disciplinary collaborations
Personable and easy to work with
