Job Summary | Dr. Mikhail Koffarnus, Associate Professor and Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Kentucky (UK) seeks a postdoctoral scholar to join the UK Appalachian Tobacco Regulatory Science Team (AppalTRuST). The overarching goal of the AppalTRuST Center is to examine tobacco use patterns and the potential impacts of FDA regulations on reducing geographic disparities in tobacco use in Appalachian Kentucky. This position will work on a project using behavioral economic methods including an Experimental Tobacco Marketplace to assess the impact of three proposed tobacco product regulations on the tobacco product purchasing patterns of adults living in Appalachian Kentucky. Tobacco product use and behavioral surveys and questionnaires will be collected via a custom mHealth app. The postdoctoral scholar will work with a multidisciplinary team that draws on experts in public health, nursing, social and behavioral science, biostatistics, epidemiology, psychology, public policy, health equity, and young adult and rural health. The Postdoctoral Scholar will have opportunities to collect data, manage and analyze large datasets, prepare manuscripts (as first or co-author), prepare conference abstracts, and will be supported in leading their own grant applications (e.g., career development awards, fellowships, etc.). The postdoctoral scholar will also be given the opportunity to develop supplementary studies that support the overarching goals of the AppalTRuST project and will be encouraged to publish and present their research findings. The Postdoctoral scholar will be eligible for pilot funds and will participate in career enhancement activities through the AppalTRuST Career Enhancement Core. Opportunities are also available for interdisciplinary mentoring and training in other tobacco research areas (e.g., tobacco cessation, qualitative methods, rural health, etc.). Initial appointment will be for one year, with renewal for subsequent year(s) contingent on progress and available resources to support continued placement. To apply, please provide:
