The University of Connecticut’s Department of Psychology seeks Ph.D. Behavioral Scientists at the level of Assistant, Associate or full Professor to join its Center for HIV Intervention and Prevention (CHIP) at the Storrs campus. The University is heavily invested in the Center’s growth and success. At present, the University is restructuring its overall institutional research environment to enhance research endeavors, and to make a serious investment toward increasing funded researchers’ productivity. A new facility will be constructed to house CHIP. The successful candidate should have a Ph.D. and a strong background in his/her field of study preferably Social, Health or Clinical Psychology, Communication Sciences, Anthropology, or Sociology, and should be familiar with field, laboratory, survey and intervention outcome research design and analysis. Senior level applicants should have a strong portfolio of externally funded health behavior change research; junior level applicants should have strong potential for external funding. It is essential for senior candidates and desirable for junior candidates to have expertise regarding health behavior change theory, empirical work, and interventions, especially HIV risk reduction interventions in at-risk populations. High-level statistical abilities including multivariate analysis and structural equation modeling are also desirable, but not essential. The primary responsibility will be to work in the design, implementation and evaluation of large theory-based HIV risk reduction and medical adherence interventions as well as other health behavior change interventions. Other duties include: writing of grant proposals, data analysis, writing of journal articles, and conducting both basic and applied research related to health behavior change. Send a cover letter, curriculum vitae and three letters of recommendations to: Dr. Jeffrey D. Fisher, The University of Connecticut, Department of Psychology, 406 Babbidge Rd., Unit 1020, Storrs, CT 06269-1020. We encourage applications from under-represented groups, including minorities, women and people with disabilities.
