Job Description

Job Summary: This position will be in within the National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center (NCVRTC) division.

2) Developing research collaborations with other NCVRTC and Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences faculty members including Dr. Danielson and Ms. Megan Wallace (and others);  

3) Serving as a Co-Investigator on several of Dr. Danielson’s currently existing external grants on Dr. Danielson’s to assist with program evaluation and data analyses;

4) Submit grant applications for extramural funding including for K awards. Note: as is the case with all faculty members, this faculty member would not be expected to cover 100% of her compensation via her own grants.

Opportunities to supplement salary in the cash-based faculty practice clinic within the Department of Psychiatry (Comprehensive Psychiatric Care Specialists) are available, but they are fully voluntary.

Education: This faculty member will be expected to participate in the educational activities of the NCVRTC, including its seminar series for interns and post-docs, and to serve as a research preceptor for interns and post-docs, as appropriate.

Minimum Requirements: PhD degree or equivalent.
