About this position
Postdoctoral opportunity in Clinical Psychology and Cancer Research at The Ohio State University
This fixed-term postdoctoral scholar position is based in the College of Medicine / Office of Health Sciences, Department of Palliative Medicine, at The Ohio State University. The project focuses on clinical interventions for people with cancer, including a combined mHealth-telehealth symptom cluster intervention for people with advanced cancer and a brief telehealth intervention for people with pancreatic cancer.
The scholar will work with Dr. Wells-Di Gregorio on manuscripts, grants, and presentations, and will also contribute to data analyses, collaboration with biomedical laboratories, and teaching/supervision of research staff. The study also examines immune and hormonal biomarkers related to symptom clustering, making this an especially relevant opportunity for candidates interested in psycho-oncology, health psychology, psychoneuroimmunology, telehealth, and behavioral intervention research.
Eligibility highlights: Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in clinical psychology with training or experience in health psychology. The role requires a clinical psychologist postdoctoral fellow, or an individual eligible for licensure as a clinical psychologist, because the grant includes delivery of psychological interventions and psychosocial assessment. Experience or interest in working with cancer populations is a key priority. Helpful background includes research methods/design, basic statistics, cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, publication experience, and health equity knowledge, especially for rural populations.
Funding and employment: The posting describes a full-time, term (fixed-term) postdoctoral scholar appointment. It does not list a stipend amount, but it does note comprehensive university benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, and retirement plan options.
