Job description

The Communication Science and Disorders Department in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences is seeking a full-time postdoctoral researcher to join an NIH-funded R01 project focused on addressing high rates of depression, anxiety, and psychological distress in stroke survivors with aphasia (NIH 1R01DC022582-01A1).

The project will evaluate a novel intervention (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Aphasia) that integrates evidence-based psychological counseling with communication strategy training, designed to be delivered by speech-language pathologists. Aim 1 will evaluate ACT for Aphasia in a Phase II RCT. Aim 2 will engage clinician and community end users and healthcare system experts to characterize healthcare system factors that will inform future intervention refinement and implementation research.

Expectations: Responsibilities will vary based on qualifications, experience, and specific interests, but will include a key leadership role in the project's Aim 2 early-stage implementation science activities and related manuscript preparation and dissemination efforts.

Ideal candidates will have a strong background in some of the following skills and interest in developing expertise in the others:  
    Adjustment counseling for people with aphasia 
    Stroke and aphasia rehabilitation research 
    Implementation science 
    Qualitative research

Institutional environment and training opportunities:
The University of Pittsburgh is one of the country's top biomedical research institutions, ranked 6th nationally in the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research rankings for NIH funding. The Pitt School of Health and Rehab Sciences (SHRS) is also ranked 6th nationally among allied health science schools. The Department of Communication Science and Disorders Speech-Language Pathology program is ranked 6th in the nation according to a recent U.S. News & World Report, and the department has over $18 million in active grant support from various federal agencies and foundations.

The PI's Language Rehab and Cognition Lab (https://www.lrcl.pitt.edu/) is part of the multi-investigator Pittsburgh Translational Aphasia Research Initiative (https://www.shrs.pitt.edu/research/ptari/), which is housed in SHRS's new building (https://www.shrs.pitt.edu/fifth-and-halket/).

In this position, the postdoctoral researcher will receive training, support, and mentorship from the Project PI and the project's interdisciplinary research team, and have access to University resources and training networks such as Pitt DISC (https://www.disc.pitt.edu/) and the Pitt CTSI Human-Centered Design Core ( https://ctsi.pitt.edu/research-services/services/).

Qualifications: Ph.D. in Communication Sciences and Disorders, Psychology, or related fields.  

All applications must be submitted via join.pitt.edu, requisition number 26003073 and must include a CV and cover letter.  Questions can be directed to Dr. William Evans, PhD, CCC-SLP at will.evans@pitt.edu.  No applications can be submitted via email or any other source other than join.pitt.edu.
