The School of Nursing is seeking an enthusiastic, innovative Post-Doctoral Nursing Scholar to conduct research training, with an emphasis on interventions for the prevention and management of chronic illness and health disparities. The initial appointment will be for one year. Re-appointment or continuation for the second year is contingent on appropriate productivity (e.g., submitted papers, abstracts, applications for funding) and progress towards training goals during year one. The Post-Doctoral Scholar will work under the supervision of a tenured faculty member who will serve as a mentor. The mentor and trainee will collaborate to develop a training plan that will guide activities and provide evaluation criteria. Trainees may enroll in coursework to enhance their skills. However, academic coursework is not the focus of this position and will be minimal. Trainees will have mentored research experiences with SON and interdisciplinary faculty, including grant writing, research seminars, research team meetings, assisting with data collection/analysis, and writing IRB applications. In the process of further developing their own research skills, the Post-Doctoral Scholar will be expected to conduct independent research and assist with the conduct of collaborative research, disseminate research findings in high-level journals, engage in the mentoring of graduate students, and contribute productively to the research enterprise of the School of Nursing. The SON considers this post-doctoral position a full-time commitment with very limited outside employment. A competitive salary, tuition assistance, health insurance, and travel and research project funding are available.

Applicants must be: a.) a registered nurse (RN) with an active unrestricted North Carolina (or Compact) license at time of employment (If holding a compact license, the person must be licensed in NC within three months of employment date), b.) hold a research doctorate (Ph.D.) in nursing or closely related field, c.) have a planned research trajectory that matches SON, university and NIH priorities, d.) exhibit fluency in English language, both written and spoken, e.) proof of US citizenship or permanent residency, and f.) demonstrate a very good knowledge of quantitative analysis methods.

Preference for those who have experience, training, education, and a research focus on vulnerable populations and chronic disease prevention or maintenance (e.g. diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, child health, systems).

Applicants must complete and submit an electronic application for employment to be considered. Resumes will not be accepted in lieu of completing an electronic application. The application must be completed in full detail for your qualifications to be considered.
