Post-Doc Research Associate

We are seeking a full-time postdoctoral research associate as part of the Communicating for Health Impact (CHI) lab, in support of the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and Hussman School of Journalism and Media.

The lab is led by Dr. Seth M. Noar and has ongoing health communication projects with multiple funders that include the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Our research projects focus on understanding effective communication practices for behavior change and involve developing and testing tobacco prevention messages targeted to youth.

The postdoctoral fellow will support a project within UNC's NIH/FDA-funded Tobacco Center for Regulatory Science (TCORS), focused on understanding effective video advertisements for e-cigarette and vaping prevention among youth and young adults. The postdoc will work on conducting studies related to message testing; assisting with design and implementation of a randomized clinical trial; analyzing data; and performing other research related activities. The postdoc will lead and contribute to project-related presentations and manuscripts for peer-reviewed conferences and journals. The position also includes time for the postdoctoral fellow to develop and explore their own research questions regarding health communication and tobacco regulatory science.

Applicants should submit: (1) a cover letter which includes the date they are available to start and three references; (2) a curriculum vitae, and (3) a one- to two-page synopsis of their research interests, including a brief description of their career plans.
