Description
The Family Translational Research Group (FTRG) within the Center for Oral Health Policy & Management at the New York University College of Dentistry is looking for two talented, hard-working people passionate about understanding and preventing family violence and implementation science to join our team. FTRG conducts a wide variety of cutting-edge clinical psychology research on range of topics, such as defining maltreatment in ways that can be reliably used by field workers, determining how couples’ conflict dynamics relate to violence, examining the effects of family violence on children’s psychological and physical functioning, and furthering our understanding of risk and protective factors for child maltreatment and partner abuse. In addition to this basic research, FTRG is involved in several large prevention efforts in the military and is conducting innovative implementation science research. We are currently engaged in two studies examining innovative ways to treat dental fear and phobia to make effective treatment more accessible. Our studies use the full spectrum of research methods — from intensive observational tools to epidemiological surveys. The FTRG typically has at least 10 active federally-funded projects. The group includes several Ph.D. and masters-level psychology and social work researchers, bachelor-level research staff, and student volunteers. The FTRG is co-directed by Dr. Amy M. Smith Slep and Dr. Richard E. Heyman. For more information about our group, go to www.ftrgroup.org.
We are looking for individuals to assist with and collaborate on ongoing and upcoming projects. People who join our team can expect great research experience and, depending on skills and interests, excellent applied experience and opportunities for publications and grant writing. If you are excited by the possibility of doing innovative research on family violence in a team environment, we hope you will join us.
Junior Research Scientist: Candidate must have research experience, preferably conducting family research relevant to child maltreatment and interpersonal violence and/or training and experience in large-scale prevention trials. Experience working in child welfare or with domestic violence is a plus. A background in data science is a plus. The candidate will work on several projects. These projects may involve military populations; experience with military families and systems is preferred. The successful candidate will liaise with research partners and external collaborators, manage staff, oversee data collection, develop tracking and management systems, and supervise undergraduate research assistants. Ideal candidates will have expertise in project and data management (e.g., SPSS, Excel, Salesforce, Knack), writing, supervising students and staff, and constructing formal communication with research partners. Experience with observational or qualitative coding, literature reviews, marketing, and/or design is strongly preferred. Strong interpersonal skills and detail orientation are a necessity
