Associate
Research Scientist
Behavioral Interventions Section
Treatment Research Institute
The Treatment Research Institute (TRI), a nationally recognized not-for-profit research and development organization, seeks a Research Scientist. An immediate opening is available in TRI’s Section on Behavioral Interventions. Successful candidates will contribute to the implementation and dissemination of currently funded projects, collaborate on writing grant proposals, contribute to writing journal articles, and eventually generate independent funding through applications to NIH or foundations. TRI will provide the mentoring and institutional support to help the Research Scientist develop the skills and experience necessary to become an independent investigator.
About the
Treatment Research Institute
TRI is dedicated to science-driven reform of policy and treatment in substance
use. An independent non-profit associated with the University of Pennsylvania,
TRI researchers frequently collaborate with their counterparts at Penn
and are eligible for adjunct faculty positions, but have no obligation
to accept teaching responsibilities and enjoy the administrative advantages
of a smaller research organization. TRI investigators are predominantly
solutions oriented in their approach to the multi-faceted, real-world
issues associated with drug/alcohol use or abuse (more
information about TRI is available elsewhere on this site).
About the
Behavioral Interventions Section
Research in the Section on Behavioral Interventions, under the
direction of Kimberly C. Kirby, Ph.D., is designed to
transfer behavioral interventions with proven efficacy into family and
community settings, with special focus on contingency management and community
reinforcement approaches. Click here
