JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:

The Family Relationships and Intervention Laboratory at The Pennsylvania State University, headed by Dr. Mark Feinberg, is seeking to fill a Researcher position with a preferred start date of January 1, 2023. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on NIH-funded studies investigating the long-term impacts of family-focused prevention programs, including a focus on co-parenting, parenting quality, family violence, obesity, and children’s outcomes.  There are opportunities for international collaborations and grant writing.

The successful candidate will be responsible for:

• Statistical analysis and paper writing

• Managing datasets

• Publishing first-author scientific articles

• Developing new project ideas and grant proposals

• Serving as program coordinator for projects as needed

• Supervising students, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars

• Aiding in human subject protocols, consent forms, and annual IRB approval

• General lab management duties

Typically requires a Ph.D. degree plus one year of related experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience. The successful candidate will have strong organizational skills, communication skills, writing, and statistical skills.

Penn State (http://equity.psu.edu ) and the College of Liberal Arts (https://la.psu.edu/about/diversity-and-inclusion ), maintain broad initiatives focused on enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education, as well as to improve our understanding of the antecedents, the correlates, and the consequences associated with diversity, equity, and inclusion. Candidates are both welcomed and encouraged to discuss if/how their research may contribute to these initiatives. 

Penn State is committed to and accountable for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in all of its forms. We embrace individual uniqueness, foster a culture of inclusion that supports both broad and specific diversity initiatives, leverage the educational and institutional benefits of diversity, and engage all individuals to help them thrive. We value inclusion as a core strength and an essential element of our public service mission.

This is a 36-week, limited-term appointment funded for one year from the date of hire with a strong possibility of continuation for a second year. However, the successful candidate will be encouraged and supported to develop a line of funded research which, along with ongoing funded projects in the lab, will allow the individual to be a member of the PRC for many years.

To apply, please upload a cover letter highlighting relevant skills, a CV, and a list of three professional references (and their contact information). Review of the applications will begin immediately and will continue until the job is filled. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
