Job Description Summary
The Dahne Lab within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and the Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina announce a staff scientist I position in behavioral health (smoking cessation, mood disorders) and technology-based interventions (telehealth, remote clinical trials). The staff scientist will assist with ongoing clinical trials related to smoking cessation and depression treatment. Additional ongoing projects center around development of innovative methods to improve the feasibility and rigor of remote trials. These projects are funded via multiple NIH grants including R01s and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) awards. Opportunities exist to develop new research projects within ongoing studies and for secondary analyses of existing datasets. Interest in academic entrepreneurship is welcomed, though not required. The candidate will have opportunities to collaborate on and lead scientific articles, collaborate on and lead new NIH grant applications, and receive mentoring in developing new areas of grant-funded research relevant to behavioral health and telehealth. Applications from candidates that can extend our research in new and exciting directions (e.g., oncology, comorbid mental health and substance use disorders, novel technologies, informatics) would be particularly welcomed, and possibilities exist for pilot projects to advance future funding potential. The successful candidate will be self-motivated, goal-oriented, and working toward research independence. A PhD, MD, or equivalent with two years post-doctorate experience is required.Entity
