The Center for Nicotine and Tobacco Research (CeNTR), directed by Dr. Melissa A. Little, seeks a postdoctoral research associate with a background in tobacco control to join an NIH-funded team that develops and tests scalable, community-based interventions to reduce tobacco- and nicotine-related cancer disparities. CeNTR partners with community pharmacies, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), schools, and military and Veteran health systems to reach populations that traditional cessation and prevention services often miss.
The postdoctoral associate will work closely with Dr. Little and be embedded in the Cancer Control and Population Health Program of the UVA Comprehensive Cancer Center. The initial appointment is one year, with two additional years of funding available contingent on performance and mutual fit. This is a three-year training pathway with the goal of launching an independent research career.
