The
Center for HIV/AIDS Educational Studies and Training (CHEST)
of Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY),
is hiring 1 full-time Research Post-Doctoral fellows
in Epidemiology & Biostatistics. Commitments are flexible
and typically last 1-2 years. Mentorship opportunities are
available with all three of CHEST’s faculty—Dr. Jeffrey
Parsons, Dr. Jonathon Rendina, and Dr. Tyrel Starks. CHEST (www.chestnyc.org)
is an internationally recognized multidisciplinary research
center which blends academic and community-based work focused
on sexual health, HIV/AIDS, LGBT issues, and substance use. As
part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, there
are also opportunities for adjunct teaching. Positions have
the opportunity to begin immediately, or in the next year.
CHEST is an equal opportunity employer and we strongly
encourage applications from individuals from diverse
backgrounds, including racial/ethnic and sexual/gender
minorities. Candidates from
underrepresented backgrounds are particularly encouraged to
apply—opportunities exist to develop Diversity Supplements to
our ongoing NIH grants.
We are looking for individuals with a training and experience
in using methods for research with large nationwide cohorts
and population-based designs (e.g., weighting, complex
sampling).
The position will involve assisting with
oversight and management of existing grant projects,
supervision of staff, data analyses and manuscript writing,
and grant writing. The fellow will be responsible for
conducting complex multivariate analyses, and for supervision
of more junior staff in statistical analysis and study design.
Significant research experience (as evidenced by previous
project management and peer-reviewed publications) and a
demonstrated interest in HIV/AIDS, sexuality, LGBT, and/or
substance use research are necessary along with a strong
background in statistical analyses; expertise in multiple
software packages (e.g., SPSS, SAS, Mplus) is highly desired.
Opportunities exist for the development of independent
research projects and grants, as well as integration into
existing funded projects. We are looking for motivated junior
researchers to become an integral part of our collaborative
team.
Requirements:
PhD/DPH or ABD in Epidemiology or Biostatistics. Studies on
which the fellow might take a primary focus include UNITE,
PLUS, Healthy Choices, and One Thousand Strong.
Salary:
Commensurate with experience
along with a competitive full-time benefits package.
To apply,
please submit a cover letter describing relevant research
experience, a curriculum vitae, and 3-5 representative
publications via email to Dr. Jeffrey Parsons (postdocs@chestnyc.org)
with the subject line CHEST Research Post-Doc
Positions (Please indicate that you are applying for
the Epidemiology & Biostatistics track within your cover
letter). Candidates should also provide the names
and email addresses for three individuals familiar with their
work who can be contacted for recommendations. Only those
applicants who are selected for interviews will be directly
contacted.
