*Subject:* *Postdoc opening at Johns Hopkins: Fall 2013*

   *Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Drug Dependence Epidemiology
                         and Substance Abuse Prevention*

 The Drug Dependence Epidemiology Training Program (DDET) in the Department
  of Mental Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
             invites applications for postdoctoral fellowships.

 The Drug Dependence Epidemiology Training Program, funded by the National
   Institute of Drug Abuse (PI: Dr. C. Debra Furr-Holden), is designed to
develop expert scientists in the field of the epidemiology and consequences
of drug and alcohol dependence. A primary goal of research emphasized within
   the DDET Program is to explicate biological and environmental factors
   associated with changes in drug taking behavior, variations in problem
 severity of drug use, and risk and protective factors associated with the
 consequences of drug taking behavior, including environmental correlates.


 Postdoctoral fellows will have the opportunity to work in a collaborative,
    interdisciplinary research environment and be supervised by leading
   researchers with expertise in structural approaches to prevention and
treatment of alcohol and substance use disorders, and biobehavioral research
  methodology with an emphasis on urban health, co-occurring substance use
  disorders, and minority populations.  We are particularly interested in
 recruiting a candidate with methodological expertise and familiarity with
  observational data collection in school settings. The candidate would be
  involved in the analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial of a
   high school based preventive intervention to address issues related to
   school violence, substance use, school safety, and school climate (PI:
                           Catherine Bradshaw).

  Applicants must have completed the PhD, MD, or equivalent degree in
      psychology, education, statistics, public health, pharmacology,
neuroscience, or a related discipline.  Applicants should be interested in
   pursuing a career in substance use and/or prevention research, possess
    strong quantitative research skills, and be a productive writer. The
 position is for U.S. citizens. Fellows will receive the standard National
  Institute of Health stipend, commensurate with the number of years since
 completion of doctoral training, as well as health insurance and funds for
                travel to scientific meetings and trainings.

Applicants should send a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and the names
 of three references to: Sarah Lindstrom Johnson, PhD, Assistant Professor,
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, 200 North Wolfe
              Street, Room 2073, (410) 614-3864; slj at jhmi.edu

        Start date: Fall 2013 or as soon as the position is filled.

Duration: One year, with the option for a second year contingent on success
                              in the program.
