Columbia University Irving Medical Center's Mailman School of Public Health invites applications from PhD or other doctoral-level degree holders for an Associate Research Scientist position in tobacco control and cannabis policy research in the Department of Sociomedical Sciences.

Under the direction of the Principal Investigator, the Associate Research Scientist will play an integral role on NIH-funded projects examining the tobacco retail environment in several US cities and the impact of local policies on tobacco use disparities. Primary responsibilities include collecting, analyzing and interpreting data on the tobacco retail environment (e.g., retailer density, marketing), population survey data, and qualitative data (e.g., interviews with key stakeholders). The Associate Research Scientist will also lead and contribute to peer-reviewed manuscripts and scientific presentations related to study findings. The Associate Research Scientist will assist in supervising junior research staff and students as opportunities arise. A major component of this position will be the development of new project ideas, including those related to cannabis policy,

and future NIH funding applications. The Associate Research Scientist will also be strongly encouraged to develop an independent line of research and seek funding to support these projects.

Qualifications

Candidates should hold a doctoral-level degree in public health, social and behavioral

health sciences, epidemiology, or a related field, and should have extensive experience

contributing to tobacco- and cannabis-related research.

Ideal candidates will have strong mixed-methods research skills (e.g., survey data analysis, GIS methods, field data collection, qualitative research), documented by a record of peer-reviewed

publications and presentations.

Some experience supervising research staff is preferred.

Application Instructions

Please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, writing sample, and contact details for three references.
