Two faculty openings at Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, Case Western Reserve Universit:
Begun Professor in Violence Prevention and Director of the Begun Center
Senior Professor/Associate Professor in Community and Social Development

The Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences (MSASS), Case Western Reserve University’s graduate school of social work, has a long-standing interest in building stronger communities. The school and its research centers, including the Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development and the Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education, have a long history of involvement in community- and agency-based research, much of which responds to critical local and national policy issues.
The curriculum at MSASS emphasizes skill-building and evidence-based practice. The school integrates its education, research, and service in ways that enable social work practice to promote social justice and community empowerment locally, nationally, and internationally.
Case Western Reserve University is located in Cleveland, Ohio. This area has one of the most well-established networks of community development organizations in the U.S., offering MSASS faculty and students a unique environment for community development research and training. Additionally, the school’s growing international education program offers faculty and students exciting opportunities for teaching and learning abroad.

MSASS is currently expanding its research, teaching, enrollment, and community engagement in violence prevention and community and social development. The school seeks two tenured or tenure-track professors, the Dr. Semi J. and Ruth W. Begun Professor in Violence Prevention and an associate or full professor in Community and Social Development, to join its multi-disciplinary faculty and help lead this growth.

The Begun Professor in Violence Prevention will lead and manage the Begun Center and its activities, including research, training, advocacy, and technical assistance; key goals include forming interdisciplinary academic partnerships, promoting community-based strategies for violence prevention, and conducting research/interventions that address the social stressors associated with youth violence. Secondary responsibilities include teaching and service in the master’s and doctoral programs and securing funding for center programs and initiatives. The professorship will be coterminous with the directorship of the Center.

Candidates for both positions must have:
•an earned doctorate in social work or other relevant field;
•a strong record of relevant teaching, scholarship, and service commensurate with a tenured appointment at the rank of associate or full professor, including a record of community-based research;
•demonstrated interest in building strong communities and demonstrated commitment to applied research.

For the Begun professorship, administrative experience will be a strong plus; a degree in psychology, criminology, or a related social science, would also be welcomed.

Candidates for the senior faculty position in Community and Social Development must have a demonstrated commitment to applied research relevant to issues of social and economic disparities and to the possibilities of promoting social change through community-based strategies. Those whose ongoing research would benefit from the collegial, institutional, and civic support available for this work will be of particular interest.
Selection will be made in the fall of 2008.

In employment, as in education, Case Western Reserve University is committed to Equal Opportunity and Diversity.

BOSTON PROGRAM DIRECTOR
Strong Women, Strong Girls
Boston, Massachusetts

Moving from “young girl” to “young woman” is a difficult transition in the best of circumstances. At no other time in a woman’s life is her developing sense of self influenced so much by popular culture, peer relationships, and the need for belonging. Yet, the path to adolescence can be particularly tenuous for girls from low-income communities where poverty, and the related violence and negative social pressures, can exacerbate the challenges girls face and impose formidable barriers to future success. In Boston and Cambridge alone, there are more than 6,000 pre-adolescent girls, and of them, 87% are from a minority background, 72% are from low-income families, and 39% speak a first language other than English. While this diverse group of girls ranks among one of Greater Boston’s best assets, too many find themselves struggling to navigate the path to adulthood, facing a variety of challenges during adolescence.

Strong Women, Strong Girls addresses these challenges by fostering high aspirations among low-income, at-risk girls and helping them to develop the skills for life-long success. As it continues to expand, SWSG seeks a Boston Program Director to grow the program at current partner sites, identify and cultivate new partners in the Greater Boston community, and develop innovative strategies for involving previously underengaged constituents, including parents and guardians. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced program manager to leverage the work of an already strong program and utilize strategic, community building, and visionary skills to grow it to the next level.

STRONG WOMEN, STRONG GIRLS:

Recently heralded as “one of Boston’s fastest-growing non-profits” by The Boston Globe, Strong Women, Strong Girls has ambitious plans for growth and impact in the coming two years. Currently Strong Women, Strong Girls engages 250 girls in after school programming. By the conclusion of the 2008-2009 program year, Strong Women, Strong Girls plans to engage 350 girls and by the conclusion of 2009-2010 to engage 500 girls annually.

To address the challenges facing girls in Greater Boston, Strong Women, Strong Girls fosters high aspirations among low-income, at-risk elementary school girls and helps them to develop the skills for life-long success. Strong Women, Strong Girls programming is offered to girls in grades 3-5 during after school hours at 22 partner elementary school and community center sites across the city. Girls participate in Strong Women, Strong Girls once per week for 1.5 hours. The girls work in groups of 10-12 peers with a team of two or three college women who serve as volunteer mentors. The college women lead the girls in an innovative after school program that includes the study of contemporary and historic female role models, research-based learning activities, community service projects, and horizon-broadening field trips to colleges and other sites. By building communities of women who are committed to supporting the success and achievement of the next generation, Strong Women, Strong Girls is expanding opportunities for girls in Greater Boston and beyond.

In addition to supporting the development of the girls involved, Strong Women, Strong Girls also supports the growth and development of the college undergraduate women who serve as volunteer mentors. Mentors are organized into campus-based volunteer cohorts that are led by two Student Directors so as to intentionally provide significant opportunities for student initiative, leadership, and innovation. Strong Women, Strong Girls partners with Harvard University, Simmons College, Northeastern University, and Boston College to support volunteer cohorts on their campuses. The Student Directors of each volunteer cohort work closely with Strong Women, Strong Girls to recruit, support, and retain high-quality volunteers. Additionally, Strong Women, Strong Girls ensures that all volunteer mentors receive a minimum of 16 hours of training annually that is designed to directly support their mentoring work. Finally, in the 2007-2008 program year, Strong Women, Strong Girls is launching a new initiative—the Mentor2Mentor program—which pairs professional women mentors in the Boston community with the college women who volunteer with Strong Women, Strong Girls. The Mentor2Mentor program is designed to provide the undergraduate volunteers involved in Strong Women, Strong Girls with professional role models, a network of support in the Boston community, and a powerful example of the role that strong female mentors can play in their own lives.

Strong Women, Strong Girls was founded under the leadership of Lindsay Hyde. Since incorporating as a not-for-profit organization just three years ago, Strong Women, Strong Girls has more than doubled the number of girls served annually in the Greater Boston community. In 2007, Strong Women, Strong Girls was recognized for its impact and innovative approach by being named a Social Innovator by the Social Innovation Forum.

Last year, Strong Women, Strong Girls additionally launched the organization’s first expansion site in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Strong Women, Strong Girls Pittsburgh, under strong local leadership, has flourished to engage 150 girls annually.

Lindsay Hyde continues to serve as the Strong Women, Strong Girls President and
Boston Executive Director. Lindsay’s leadership of Strong Women, Strong Girls has been nationally recognized in publications including Glamour Magazine and Seventeen Magazine. Most recently, in June 2007 Lindsay joined the ranks of recognized social change agents Alan Khazei, Steve Jobs, and Wendy Kopp when she received the National Jefferson Award for Public Service.

About the Obsessive Compulsive Foundation:
Since its founding 21 years ago, the Obsessive Compulsive Foundation has grown to 6,000 members and nine affiliates with a $1MM budget, a nine-member board of directors and a 50 member Scientific Advisory Board. Extensive programmatic, educational and policy initiatives have been developed and implemented to serve the myriad needs of OCD sufferers and their families. As OCF embarks on its third decade of service to those suffering with OCD, it seeks to expand its impact on the community in the form of programming, resources and advocacy. The Obsessive Compulsive Foundation is seeking a new Executive Director to shepherd its transition into the national spotlight after over 20 years establishing itself as the go-to place for information and resources about OCD. This is an ideal opportunity for a seasoned manager with the personality and compassion to understand the magnitude of this disorder for the millions it affects and the business acumen to strategically grow a poised enterprise.

About the Executive Director:
The Executive Director manages the affairs of the organization under the oversight of the Board of Directors. The Executive Director is responsible for ensuring the organization's programmatic success, fiscal stability and philanthropic support, and for recruiting and retaining motivated employees and volunteers.

Pursuant to the recently completed strategic plan, the next Executive Director will focus on strategy and planning; board relations; organizational management; financial oversight, fund and resource relations; affiliate relations; and external and government relations.

Qualifications:
The Foundation is poised to enter a new era of service to those who suffer from the disorder, their families, and the mental-health community. The new Executive Director must be able to grow the organization into the national leader in OCD resources and information with the capacity to serve as the national voice for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder sufferers, their families and scientists looking to find a cure. The ideal candidate will serve as a resource to people who contact OCF regarding questions about OCD, have expertise in fundraising including individual giving, grants, corporate support, events, and partnership programs; and have the drive, motivation and the skills to manage multiple projects simultaneously often with competing, but equally important priorities and deadlines. Proven experience growing and running an organization of similar scale and scope including successes in staff management, delegation, communication, goal setting, board management, financial oversight, program development, and constituent identification is required. Along with at least a Bachelor’s degree, clinical knowledge of OCD and/or mental health is helpful.

Chief Executive Officer
Crossroads School for Children
Natick, Massachusetts

About Crossroads School for Children
Founded just four years ago by a small group of dedicated parents of children on the autism spectrum, Crossroads School for Children is meeting a critical need. Crossroads provides a continuum of services across intensity and level of integration, resulting in the most effective mix of services to meet the individual needs of the child. Services include both group instruction and individual therapy and are provided in a variety of settings, ranging from separated to integrated classrooms.

Crossroads aims to enhance all children’s lives by teaching the necessary skills for them to participate in a meaningful way in their home, school, and community. To do so, Crossroads employs Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy as its fundamental instructional approach. Noted as the only method for which empirical research has validated success, procedures based on ABA are used at Crossroads to increase skills across all areas of development. Crossroads currently serves 39 children, and in its new building, has the capacity to serve 80 children at a time.

Having flourished in its first four years, Crossroads needs to move from a successful start up to a steady adolescence. With a long-term lease on a newly built-out facility, a state-funded budget of $2.8MM, a successful track record meeting the needs of autistic children and their families, and capacity for increased enrollment, Crossroads is poised for phenomenal growth. The next CEO will be charged with delivering that growth in a stable and thoughtful fashion, assessing and evaluating the current program, and making determinations about the direction and pace of future growth.

An expert ABA clinician with the leadership skills to define the correct direction for programmatic growth and expansion, the CEO will develop and execute growth in program opportunities, fundraising and leadership. Specifically, the Chief Executive Officer will be expected to provide strategic oversight in fundraising, program development, staff supervision and development, external relations, strategic planning, board development, finance and operations management. The ideal candidate will have a background in successfully implementing ABA therapy, and experience as an administrator of a program serving children along the autism spectrum.

Desired Qualifications
The CEO will be an entrepreneurial leader looking to build upon a career working directly with autistic children. S/he will combine program management acumen, a zeal for supporting children and families, and a steadfast belief in the power of ABA therapy to positively impact the lives of autistic children and their families. Leveraging a distinctive skill set, the ideal candidate will be opportunistic, full of energy, passionate, and intelligence. This is an opportunity for an expert in the field of ABA therapy to build upon a school with an exceptional reputation and effective program, deepening its systems and broadening its reach as it enters its fifth year of service.

Chief Executive Officer
Crossroads School for Children
Natick, Massachusetts

About Crossroads School for Children
Founded just four years ago by a small group of dedicated parents of children on the autism spectrum, Crossroads School for Children is meeting a critical need. Crossroads provides a continuum of services across intensity and level of integration, resulting in the most effective mix of services to meet the individual needs of the child. Services include both group instruction and individual therapy and are provided in a variety of settings, ranging from separated to integrated classrooms.

Crossroads aims to enhance all children’s lives by teaching the necessary skills for them to participate in a meaningful way in their home, school, and community. To do so, Crossroads employs Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy as its fundamental instructional approach. Noted as the only method for which empirical research has validated success, procedures based on ABA are used at Crossroads to increase skills across all areas of development. Crossroads currently serves 39 children, and in its new building, has the capacity to serve 80 children at a time.

Having flourished in its first four years, Crossroads needs to move from a successful start up to a steady adolescence. With a long-term lease on a newly built-out facility, a state-funded budget of $2.8MM, a successful track record meeting the needs of autistic children and their families, and capacity for increased enrollment, Crossroads is poised for phenomenal growth. The next CEO will be charged with delivering that growth in a stable and thoughtful fashion, assessing and evaluating the current program, and making determinations about the direction and pace of future growth.

An expert ABA clinician with the leadership skills to define the correct direction for programmatic growth and expansion, the CEO will develop and execute growth in program opportunities, fundraising and leadership. Specifically, the Chief Executive Officer will be expected to provide strategic oversight in fundraising, program development, staff supervision and development, external relations, strategic planning, board development, finance and operations management. The ideal candidate will have a background in successfully implementing ABA therapy, and experience as an administrator of a program serving children along the autism spectrum.

Desired Qualifications
The CEO will be an entrepreneurial leader looking to build upon a career working directly with autistic children. S/he will combine program management acumen, a zeal for supporting children and families, and a steadfast belief in the power of ABA therapy to positively impact the lives of autistic children and their families. Leveraging a distinctive skill set, the ideal candidate will be opportunistic, full of energy, passionate, and intelligence. This is an opportunity for an expert in the field of ABA therapy to build upon a school with an exceptional reputation and effective program, deepening its systems and broadening its reach as it enters its fifth year of service.

ZQZSJZ Hey, there is what you need.

Director
Smart from the Start
Boston, Massachusetts


OVERVIEW:
For low-income children, educational success is often the only pathway out of poverty, and yet far too many low-income children begin school already at a disadvantage. Research shows that children are born ready to learn (“smart from the start”), but what happens next matters much more than we once knew; we adults are not yet being smart from the start about how we build on this inherent potential. Experiences in a child’s first few years directly affect the actual wiring and architecture of the developing brain, with impact on a child’s future ability to learn, on his/her immune system, and on a child’s future ability to stay safe

Recognizing this, the Family Nurturing Center (FNC), Boston Centers for Youth and Families (BCYF), the Boston Housing Authority (BHA), the Mayor’s Office and key community partners are launching Smart from the Start (S2) expands and strengthens early learning opportunities, promotes parents’ role as their children’s first teacher and builds neighborhood will, understanding and capacity to support school readiness. Smart from the Start brings together parents around something they all have in common – their love for and concern for their children; provides services and activities that are well-evaluated, non-stigmatizing, highly sought-after, and just plain fun for families; and offers them right where people live. The “theory of change” for this initiative is that providing this type of services/activities, in this location, more directly incorporating a laser focus on school readiness, and building community capacity to integrate school readiness throughout the neighborhood will result in children at risk being more ready for school entry and for sustained school success. S2 will start in three neighborhoods, providing programming at a community center that is co-located with a housing development and serving all families within a half-mile radius, also engaging and providing requested programming to family child care providers.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE FIRST DIRECTOR:
In collaboration with a wide range of partners, the first Director of S2 will implement a comprehensive suite of community-owned services, building on existing models. This is an exciting start-up position for a seasoned senior project director, with significant child development expertise or interest, who is capable of organizing communities, nurturing diverse partnerships, and overseeing high quality programs. The Director will act as the senior project manager for the S2 initiative, supervising staff, raising funds, overseeing staff who will develop and evaluate programs, and building new and nurturing existing partnerships. While the Director must be comfortable operating in the challenge of an evolving start-up environment, s/he will benefit from the support of strong partnerships already in place, including the FNC, the BHA, the Mayor’s Office the BCYF and dozens of neighborhood-based organizations.

QUALIFICATIONS:
The Director will be a seasoned senior project manager, early childhood development expert, and community organizer able to shape an initiative that will invite parents, families, and caregivers to become more active participants in preparing their children, ages zero to five, for a lifetime of learning. The ideal candidate will have a minimum of five years of demonstrated success in senior leadership of partnerships with urban communities, preferably based in Boston, leading or supporting community organizing and improvement efforts, and managing relationships with multiple stakeholders and funders. S/he will preferably hold an advanced degree in public health, social work, education, public policy, or administration, as well as an in-depth understanding of the prevailing and promising practices of the field of early childhood development, family support, and/or systems thinking. S/he will be a strategic thinker who can guide program evaluation and translate results into better programming and policies citywide, as well as facilitate inter-organizational dialogues and partnerships.

APPLICATIONS:
Due to the project timeline, candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. Applications are due by July 13, 2007, but will be reviewed as received and hiring decisions may be made prior to July 13. Applications, which will not be read without a cover letter describing your interest and qualifications, your resume (in Word or pdf format), salary history, and where you learned of the position should be sent to s2-dir@nonprofitprofessionals.com. In order to expedite the internal sorting and reviewing process, please type your name (Last, First) as the only contents in the subject line of your e-mail.

Executive Director
Art Start
New York, New York

Overview
Each night in New York City, more than 38,000 people are homeless. Almost half of them are children under the age of 18, comprising by far the largest and fastest-growing segment of the homeless population. Intervention is desperately needed to help children from falling victim to a number of problems endemic to homeless people, such as drug addiction, domestic violence and discrimination. Yet, even when services are provided, they are often interrupted when children move from one shelter to another. Despite this urgent and growing need, the number of programs supporting homeless youth continues to decrease. Plagued by small staff sizes and further threatened by budget cuts, shelters are ill-equipped to offer necessary recreational activities without the intervention of outside groups, leaving youth with no alternative to the street after the school day ends. Since 1991, Art Start has been part of the solution.

About Art Start
Founded by a handful of artists who got together to make art with homeless kids in New York City, Art Start connects with kids who are denied access to a nurturing education, a supportive home environment and promising work opportunities. Art Start’s kids are shut out. They contend with economic brutality, racism and neglect every day, and get pinned with harsh labels like "homeless," "dropout," "thug" and worse. They would rather shape their own identities. They are strong, resilient, open-minded, talented and full of dreams. They yearn to be participants, to make meaningful contributions. Art Start uses the arts to spark their lives to the possibilities of "making it." Art Start gives them tools and opportunities, and most important, a chance to be heard.

Executive Director
The next Executive Director will come to Art Start as the board looks to carefully, deliberately and thoughtfully nurture and grow a modest model program into one which substantially increases the impact the program is having on the children in its community. Whether the program will grow to more shelters or work more deeply with existing program youth is uncertain; what is clear, however, is that the program will retain and even improve the high level of quality it currently offers. Art Start is seeking a leader who will both position the organization for profound and meaningful work and simultaneously share ideas and best practices with other programs also looking to make incredible contributions to homeless children. The ideal candidate will couple strong business acumen with the heart and soul of a social worker and a steadfast commitment to the belief that involvement in the arts can permanently alter the trajectory of a homeless child’s life.

Desired Qualifications
The successful candidate will be creative, strategic, innovative and energetic, with excellent communication skills and a collaborative and flexible style. A demonstrated commitment to and experience with homeless children along with a record of accomplishment in an entrepreneurial, service-oriented environment, preferably in a social service nonprofit of similar size and complexity is ideal. While experience in the arts and working with homeless youth would be a plus, it is not required. A proven capacity to apply zealous entrepreneurial creativity to a solid and workable roadmap for targeted growth and development is essential.

To Apply
More information about Art Start may be found at: http://www.art-start.org. A longer, more detailed position description may be found at http://www.nonprofitprofessionals.com/searches/as-ed.htm.
Applications are due by June 15, 2007, but will be reviewed as received. Applications, which will not
be reviewed without a cover letter describing your interest and qualifications, your resume (in Word

Organizational Background
 
For 25 years, the National Council for Research on Women has helped shape the future for women and girls. The Council is a network of 110 member research and policy centers and more than 2,000 top-level researchers providing the information and research needed to foster more equitable futures for women and girls. While women have made progress on many fronts, much remains to be done. The Council’s network’s evidence-based research provides hard data to inform new policy and legislation that can make long-lasting differences in women and girl’s lives. The Council’s research puts women’s needs, perspectives, and solutions on the radar screen and make them part of the public debate.
  
The Council is undertaking a two-year project designed to address issues of leadership, inclusion, and diversity in the fields of women’s research and studies. Specifically the project will develop strategies to:
a) engage the Council and its network of 110 women’s research centers and affiliated women’s studies programs in a self-reflective analysis of their own diversity, record of inclusiveness, and the future of the field;
b) incorporate more women, especially younger women from historically under-represented populations, (e.g. African-American, Chicana, and native American backgrounds) into all levels within the fields of women’s studies and research, and position them to become leaders within the centers and the field generally; and
c) strengthen the centers as important sites for engaging women from these historically under-represented populations in the field of women’s studies as students, majors, researchers, faculty, and leaders.

Vice President of Development
National Council for Research on Women
New York, New York


Overview

In societies across the country and around the world women still do not experience full and equal participation, without which children, families, and communities suffer, and half the world’s talents are squandered. While significant progress has been made, there is much more to do, and information and research are needed to understand unmet needs or injustices and drive resolutions forward. For 25 years, the National Council for Research on Women has helped shape the future for women and girls: it is a network of more than 100 leading U.S. research, advocacy, and policy centers with a growing global reach and more than 2,000 top-level researchers. The Council harnesses the resources of its network to ensure fully informed debate, policies, and practices to build a more inclusive and equitable world for women and girls.

The key to the Council’s past success and future growth has been highly-focused, accessible, timely research delivered through rapid-response communications campaigns, an informative website, and an active and informed network. As it grows, the Council now looks to hire three senior level staff members, two of which will fill new positions, to continue its groundbreaking work.

Vice President of Development

The Council’s first Vice President of Development will create and implement short and long term action plans for major gifts, planned giving prospects, and corporate and foundation giving, including research, identification, solicitation, cultivation and proposal development with a goal to greatly expand and diversify the Council’s $1.5M budget. The Vice President will share responsibility for providing vision and strategic direction for the Council’s programs, and for ensuring the organization’s fiscal health through fund-raising.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will be an experienced, strategic thinker who is young at heart but has the gravitas to steward major donors, the knowledge of when to leverage the President’s time and energy and the strength to create and close substantial partnership deals with donors in order to substantially expand our revenue streams and achieve a new level of fiscal success. S/he must be an intelligent, driven self-starter with a demonstrated track record of at least seven years engaging board members, high-level individuals, corporations, and foundations; creating and implementing fund-raising plans; managing special events; overseeing development staff and consultants; expanding strategic partnerships; and tracking development in relation to income projections and departmental budgets.

To Apply

More information about the National Council for Research on Women may be found at http://www.ncrw.org. A longer, more detailed position description may be found at www.nonprofitprofessionals.com/searches/ncrw-dev.htm.

JOB POSTING:

Communications Director
National Council for Research on Women
New York, New York


Overview

In societies across the country and around the world women still do not experience full and equal participation, without which children, families, and communities suffer, and half the world’s talents are squandered. While significant progress has been made, there is much more to do, and information and research are needed to understand unmet needs or injustices and drive resolutions forward. For 25 years, the National Council for Research on Women has helped shape the future for women and girls: it is a network of more than 100 leading U.S. research, advocacy, and policy centers with a growing global reach and more than 2,000 top-level researchers. The Council harnesses the resources of its network to ensure fully informed debate, policies, and practices to build a more inclusive and equitable world for women and girls.

The key to the Council’s past success and future growth has been highly-focused, accessible, timely research delivered through rapid-response communications campaigns, an informative website, and an active and informed network. As it grows, the Council now looks to hire three senior level staff members, two of which will fill new positions, to continue its groundbreaking work.

Communications Director

The Council’s first Communications Director will be expected to conceive, develop and implement a communications vision and plan for the organization that will increase awareness of the Council, solidify its role as a leader in women’s research, and contribute to reframing debate through a gender lens. Already poised for success, the Council needs a seasoned communications professional who can continue to build the Council’s role as a thought leader in the field of women’s research and offer effective multi-media, high-impact strategies that contribute to the achievement of overall organizational goals. S/he will be expected to work with the distinguished members of the Corporate Circle, Presidents’ Circle, and Council Members to implement an integrated national communications strategy that encompasses strong media strategies, targeted outreach to key audiences, strategic partnerships, online web activities, and marketing/branding, and ensure that all materials produced reflect Council values, commitment to quality, and standards.

The ideal candidate will be a superb writer and thinker, well versed in the broad array of communications vehicles available today. From op-eds to media connections and savvy, to website development, publications, marketing strategies, branding and promotion, this communications director will support and develop innovative and creative ways to expand society’s views of women and girls’ leadership. S/he will have a proven track record of at least five to seven years experience creating and implementing effective communications strategies in a growth-oriented, intellectual, and advocacy-oriented environment, preferably dealing with women’s issues, and a long history of successfully pitching and placing high level, effective media stories.

In addition to general departmental contributions, clinical staff work closely together as a team, and work alongside clinical practitioners in the community.

We recognise that some applicants may want to continue with professional clinical work and so applicants for this position who would prefer to be involved only part-time may also be considered.

The current salary ranges are Senior Lecturer: NZ$63,872 to $85,670 per annum, Associate Professor: NZ$83,420 to $95,036 per annum and Professor: NZ$97,148 to $123,624 per annum.

Urban Youth & Family Counseling Internship

The Georgetown University Adolescent Health program announces a unique internship/supervision experience. Set within the Georgetown University Medical Center, Department of Psychiatry, and the Adolescent Health Program, the internship will be supervised by Dr. Michael Mason, assistant professor of Psychiatry and principal investigator of the Adolescent Health Program. Clinical sites may vary between a community-based setting, and the Georgetown University Medical Center.

The Adolescent Health Program is a brief, evidence-based, manualized substance abuse treatment program for DC area adolescents and parents. The program provides a comprehensive evaluation and five sessions of outpatient treatment for adolescents. Parents of enrolled teens attend four hours of education and training, which aims to increase their knowledge about adolescent development, mental health issues, substance use, and the importance of communication with their teens. We will follow up with the teens for one year. This project is supported by a three-year grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (10/03-9/06).

Opportunities for the intern include conducting semi-structured biopsychosocial assessments, conducting manualized adolescent substance use treatment, co-leading a parent intervention, assisting the research team with intake and screening, client tracking, and follow-up interviews. At least 50% of the intern’s duties will be direct clinical assessment and therapy, while other duties will include case management, office administration, and research support. The intern may attend department grand rounds, clinical case conferences, and other educational events as a part of the learning experience. This site could provide graduate students with thesis or dissertation opportunities.

The intern will be trained for this position by Dr. Mason, and the lead therapist, Sherrine Brown, and the project manager, Michelle Wilson. We are seeking someone who has a background or interest in manualized therapy, substance abuse treatment, and working with adolescents and families. The ideal candidate will be assertive, will take initiative, and can handle being trained and working on multiple tasks. We offer a small, supportive team environment where we expect the intern to be fully engaged in this project’s work. Because one of our sites is in central D.C., where many low-resource families and teens reside, we seek a candidate with experience and comfort working with diverse, urban populations. The intern will begin clinical work at Georgetown and then move to the Perry School Community Service Center, our central D.C. treatment site. We seek an intern with an understanding of the stresses that many urban youth and families must deal with on a daily basis.

 Anticipated start date is September with completion in May, with the possibility of extending to August, 2005. This is a stipend –supported internship.

Each position consists of a half-time placement at The Consultation Center at Yale and the other a half-time placement at DMHAS. One postdoctoral position involves work in the areas of domestic violence and disaster response. Within The Consultation Center, the fellow will participate in the ongoing implementation and oversight of domestic violence interventions provided to court-referred men and women who have been arrested for a domestic violence offense. Fellows will contribute to the initial intake and orientation of individuals entering the program, conduct group interventions, and learn about the interface of the legal system and community-based domestic violence programs. The fellowship also will include opportunities to participate in research studies investigating the precursors, correlates, and outcomes of men’s and women’s violence perpetration and victimization, and in the preparation of manuscripts for publication. At DMHAS, the postdoctoral fellow will be involved in designing and implementing aspects of Connecticut’s disaster response capacity for behavioral health services. This will include assisting in the further development of a state disaster response plan that involves collaboration among several state departments; evaluating the likely impact of that plan for specific behavioral health populations; and, training behavioral health service providers in disaster preparedness. The fellow will work closely with departmental leadership and learn first-hand about state planning and policy development as it pertains to the impact of disasters and trauma on individual and system-level behavioral health outcomes. The fellow will also be expected to collaborate with departmental leadership to participate in preparing manuscripts for publication. The second postdoctoral position focuses on behavioral health policy and related research. Within The Consultation Center, the fellow will work closely with a research team to examine the impact of statewide behavioral health, juvenile justice, and child welfare initiatives on the health and well-being of children and families served by the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF). Postdoctoral activities will include participation as a fellow in the Rhode Island Data Analytic Center, a collaborative endeavor of Rhode Island DCYF, the Yale University School of Medicine, and the University of Rhode Island. The fellow will be involved in the completion of research papers from various studies being conducted through the Center and preparation of data and policy briefs for use by various stakeholders, including state agency leadership and line staff, parents, service providers, legislators, and judges. At DMHAS, the postdoctoral fellow will be involved in a variety of data analytic activities involving case-mix adjustment and client outcomes for various programs, including addiction services. A primary objective of this work will be the comparison of individual client outcomes across various behavioral health services in order to identify the most effective and appropriate case mix for different types of services. The results of these analyses will be provided to a DMHAS steering committee that includes senior departmental leadership that will use the findings for planning and policy development. Through this work, the fellow will also be expected to collaborate with departmental leadership in preparing manuscripts for publication. In addition to these responsibilities, both fellows will participate in ongoing activities of the Yale Division of Prevention and Community Research, including: monthly divisional lectures and presentations, and a faculty/fellow Investigators Group which involves peer reviews of scholarly manuscripts and grant submissions.

Hello explorers and teachers! I have an excellent position in Suwon that requires a teacher immediately. The position pays very well (2.1 million won plus bonuses for 110 teaching hours per month). The rest of the contract is fairly standard and I can give you details later. As I said the position is in Suwon. I know this area very well and highly recommend it as it is close to Seoul and can easily access the rest of the country via the large train station. The catch is that I need someone immediately (End of March).

If you cannot make it but still want me to find you a great job in a wonderful country then I can help. I promise you will have one of the best times of your lives and make a lot of money to boot! Write me at: chris_mcintyre@canada.com

Hello and good day.
I am a Canadian (part-time) recruiter who is seeking a teacher for a position in Suwon in Kyonggi province - about 30 minutes from the heart of Seoul.Suwon is a "walled" city that carries some historical significance. It has a slow train service that takes you quickly and cheaply into Seoul, as well as an extensive shopping district. In fact it was the location of my teaching assignment and so i can give you lots of info. The position is fairly standard and I can give you the details when you contact me. I also can provide jobs for other parts of Korea at different times, just let me know and I can help - free of charge to you!
