Job Summary | Dr. Shyanika Rose, Assistant Professor of Behavioral Science in the College of Medicine and the Center for Health Equity Transformation 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. The specific study led by Dr. Rose focuses on the prevalence and impact of marketing and novel tobacco product use in Appalachian Kentucky, and how FDA regulations may affect patterns of use for conventional and new products among young adults across levels of rurality. Data will be collected via retail store and digital audits of tobacco retailers, online surveys and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to assess marketing exposure to conventional and new tobacco products in young adults. 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. Postdoctoral scholars are eligible for pilot funds and participating 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., behavioral economics, 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:
