is seeking qualified applicants for a Research Associate position to assist in
the development, support, and growth of a portfolio of research projects within
the Dynamic Real-time Ecological Ambulatory Methodologies (DREAM) program. The
DREAM program promotes the use of emerging technologies (e.g., smartphones,
micro-sensors) for "in-vivo" data collection (e.g., Ecological
Momentary Assessment [EMA] approaches) for studies of human behavior, health,
and development (<span class=object><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT980_com_zimbra_url"><a
href="http://www.ssri.psu.edu/survey/research-services/dream" target="_blank"
title="This external link will open in a new window"><span
id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT978_com_zimbra_url">http://www.ssri.psu.edu/survey/research-services/dream</a></span></span></span>).
Successful applicants will work within an interdisciplinary team to: (a) assist
investigators with developing and implementing studies using DREAM methods, (b)
work with a staff of program directors, project managers, programmers, and
budget consultants to coordinate and oversee project implementation (including
technology development, data collection, and administrative tasks), and (c)
develop DREAM-related research proposals, papers, and publications, both
independently and collaboratively with Penn State faculty.<br>
<br>
Applicants must have a PhD in a social science discipline (e.g., psychology,
sociology) or other related field (e.g., computer science), although
exceptional ABD candidates will be considered. We seek applicants who have
experience with designing and/or conducting human subject research. Experience
in EMA research, ambulatory physiological assessment, mobile technology, survey
methodology, analytic methods for intensive repeated measures, or other related
topics is highly desirable. Excellent written and oral communication and
interpersonal skills are required. The position offers competitive salary and
benefits. The initial appointment will be for one year, with an excellent
possibility for continued renewal.<br>
<br>
Interested applicants should send: (1) a letter of application describing
relevant experience, career goals, and research interests; (2) a curriculum
vita; and (3) names of three professional references to Tracy Scala at <span
