Research Coordinator (violence prevention research)
Seattle Children's Research Institute
This position will work closely with Principal Investigator, Dr. Alice Ellyson, and assist in managing and coordinating many activities of her research program. A major component of this new position will be to assist on a recently funded R01 project funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention entitled “Preventing firearm-related harm through domestic violence protection order firearm prohibitions and relinquishment.” This study will rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of implementing domestic violence protection order (DVPO) firearm prohibitions in reducing subsequent firearm-related crime, injury, and death of victim-survivors / petitioners, protected minors, and respondents.
Dr. Ellyson’s team is searching for someone to fill this role with an interest in violence prevention research, education in a relevant discipline (e.g., public health, health policy, public policy, government, pre-law, womens and gender studies, criminology, psychology, communication, sociology), and knowledge of economic, health, and other social policy. With the guidance of the PI, this role will assist with the development of data collection documents; read and abstract information from legal documents; record research data into online REDCAP database or equivalent; and adhere to numerous data use agreements. This position will require the ability to travel to courthouses as needed to support data abstraction. Prior work or research experience in a sensitive area (e.g., gender-based violence, sexual violence, intimate partner violence, substance use) is preferred.

Postdoc / RA position(s) in American Indian tobacco simulation modeling
Yale School of Public Health
Commercial tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities, who have the highest smoking rates of any racial/ethnic
group in the US. Tobacco simulation models are being used to evaluate the impact of tobacco control policies and guide decision-making, but they have not yet been developed for American Indian populations. There is a need for modeling research that guides policymaking to reduce tobacco use and improve AIAN health outcomes. The Center for the Assessment for Tobacco Regulations (CAsToR) is working in partnership with expert consultants at the Black Hills Center for American Indian Health to meet this need.
What is the training opportunity?
CAsToR is currently seeking junior scientist(s) who are committed to AIAN health to join its research team. This training opportunity aims to support the next generation of junior scientists who will lead the development of tobacco simulation models that advance AIAN health.
CAsToR is eager to provide mentorship, training, and support for a candidate or candidates at the graduate student, recent graduate (bachelor’s or master’s degree), or postdoctoral levels. This part-time (current students) or full-time (recent graduates/postdocs) training opportunity would be based in New Haven, CT at the Yale School of Public Health in the Department of Health Policy and Management. New Haven exists on Quinnipiac, Wappinger, and Paugussett land.
