Hola Carmen, que tal vas? 
Por si acaso no te ha llegado, y por si hay alguien en el departamento que
está trabajando en estos temas, te reenvio el correo abajo. También quería
decirte que estoy "on the market" este año, ahora sí, casi segura que
terminaré en el otoño (aunque tengo un fellowship hasta septiembre 2011 así
que estaré buscando para esa fecha).
espero que todos por allí están bien, y que tu también vas bien, estaré en
Berkeley en noviembre así que espero verte entonces.
saludos y abrazos,
Cristina

Tenure Track Faculty Positions in the Department of Medical Social Sciences 

The Department of Medical Social Sciences (MSS) at Northwestern University
is currently recruiting for six tenure track positions.  MSS provides a
unique interdisciplinary home for applied researchers who integrate
biomedical and social science approaches to improvement of health.  Thus,
the candidates will be joining MSS at a time of significant opportunity, as
it forms its scientific direction. Scientific themes of the Department
center on measurement innovation and rapid translation of basic discovery to
application (for details about the Department and each of the specific
positions see www.mss.northwestern.edu).  Because an interdisciplinary,
collaborative orientation is a defining element of the Department, MSS
provides an ideal home for scholars whose work is integrative and cuts
across traditional content areas.  MSS provides rich resources for
conducting research including a broad scientific portfolio with multiple,
well-characterized cohorts across the lifespan, biostatistical and health
informatics cores, expertise in multi-level assessment methods and
collaborative relationships across Northwesterns biomedical and life
sciences campuses.  We are seeking candidates who wish to build a sustaining
and transformative research program in their areas of interest. 

1 Senior and 2 Junior Positions in Medical Social Sciences. Candidates from
a wide range of disciplines are encouraged to apply including medical
anthropology, medical sociology, health economics, decision science, health
outcomes applications in clinical research, social and genetic epidemiology,
health status measurement, and physician-scientists.  Applications for
senior position to Search Chair, Laurie Wakschlag, PhD (reference position #
P-200-10).  Applications for junior positions to Search Chair, Philip
Greenland, MD (reference positions # P-205-10/206-10). 

Senior Faculty Position in Health Informatics/Outcomes Assessment.  We are
seeking candidates who bring expertise in health status measurement science
and applied health information technology. Candidates with expertise at the
interface of assessment and technology are of particular interest. For
example, research in the application of Item Response Theory to
individualized and large scale assessments, item banking science and the
innovative use of computer adaptive testing technology for education,
clinical and health measurement would be a particularly good complement to
the ongoing research of the Department. The candidate should have experience
directing large-scale, multi-site investigations.  Applications to Search
Chair Rex Chisholm (reference position # P-204-10).

Senior Leadership Position in Cancer Control Research.  We are seeking
candidates doing leading edge cancer-related research. The candidate will
serve as Program Leader of the outstanding ranked cancer control program of
this NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center (see
www.cancer.northwestern.edu).  The cancer control program includes
behavioral and population science research, outcomes measurement,
disparities research and supportive oncology.  It is closely linked to MSSs
extensive portfolio in cancer outcomes research including psychosocial
aspects of survivorship, quality of life and efficacy of psychosocial
interventions. We are particularly interested in candidates who wish to
build a research program in the following areas:  health disparities,
decision science, psychosocial interventions, tobacco research, symptom
management, health services and comparative effectiveness research,
survivorship and community-engaged research.  Applications to Search Chair,
David Mohr, PhD (reference position # P-211-10).

Junior Faculty Position in Developmental Neuroscience.  We are seeking
candidates whose research focuses on human subjects involving the study of
clinical and/or at-risk populations and the measurement of neural processes.
Of particular interest are candidates with expertise in
developmentally-sensitive task development and neuroimaging techniques,
including the use of ERPs during early childhood. The candidate will be
encouraged to draw on a number of ongoing population-based and clinical
studies of developmental phenotypes and mechanisms of risk in early
childhood as a springboard for developing an independent program of
research.  Departmental resources also include a developmental observation
and ERP laboratory. Applications to Search Chair, Laurie Wakschlag, Ph.D.
(reference position # P-210-10).

Candidates should have an outstanding record of scholarly publication and an
independent program of extramurally-funded research, or exceptional promise
of such for junior candidates.  Salary and rank commensurate with experience
and credentials.  Start date flexible for these full-time continuing
positions.  Applications for the Medical Social Sciences, Cancer Control and
Developmental Neuroscience positions should be received by September 30th
for fullest consideration.  Applications must be received by August 15th for
the Health Informatics position.  All applications should be sent to
mss at northwestern.edu and include letter of interest, research statement,
curriculum vitae, representative reprints and names of three references.  

Northwestern University is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity
Employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. Hiring is contingent
upon eligibility to work in the United States.

Thank you.
