Description of Work
UNL has provided substantial funding to support the establishment of a Sexual Violence Prevention Center (SVPC) on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. A Postdoctoral Associate will be a key leader in this initiative. The Postdoctoral Associate will work with Dr. Katie Edwards, PI on the SVPC grant and Director of the Interpersonal Violence Research Laboratory (IVRL), housed within the Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families, and Schools (CYFS) at UNL. The person in this position will ideally be located in Pine Ridge, SD but working from Lincoln, NE or Rapid City, SD (with frequent trips to Pine Ridge, SD) will be considered. The Postdoctoral Associate in this position will work alongside Dr. Edwards and other researchers, staff, and students of the SVPC on various aspects of culturally-grounded sexual violence prevention and evaluation. Additionally, a major component of this postdoctoral associate position will be to work alongside Dr. Edwards to train/mentor UNL and tribal college students working with the SVPC in participatory action, Indigenous-led research. The position is ideal for individuals wishing to ultimately pursue a variety of career paths including a tenure-track faculty position with combined focus on research, teaching, and mentoring as well as positions in non-academic settings.
