The University of Virginia has new openings for two Research Associates with interests in eHealth research, the provision of health treatment through the Internet and related technologies, with a focus on psycho-oncology. Applicants should have a recent doctoral degree in Psychology or related field. The doctoral degree must be obtained by date of hire. Research associate positions are for a two-year period (2017-2019) divided into one-year terms in the Center for Behavioral Health and Technology in the Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences.
These full-time research associates will conduct clinical research in eHealth with a particular focus on cancer. This focus can be in any area of cancer control and prevention research, or on behaviors and treatments relevant to cancer. While experience in eHealth and cancer research is a plus, those with a strong interest are encouraged to apply. The research associates will be significantly involved in multidisciplinary teams conducting one or more grant-funded projects to develop and evaluate Internet interventions on cancer, and other conditions such as insomnia, diabetes, pediatric pain, HIV, alcohol-exposed pregnancy risk, substance abuse, and medication adherence. They will have the opportunity to create intervention content, develop treatment protocols, manage large national trials, perform data analyses, write grants, write manuscripts (including first-authored publications), review manuscripts, and present findings at national and international conferences.
The Center for Behavioral Health & Technology, led by Dr. Lee Ritterband, is physically located in newly renovated research space in the Ivy Foundation Translational Research Building at 560 Ray C. Hunt Drive in the Fontaine Research Park. More information about CBHT can be found at http://bht.virginia.edu.

The positions will remain open until filled. Appointment renewal and/or extension is contingent upon the continuation of funding.
