Postdoctoral Fellowship, The Division of Prevention and Community Research, Department of Psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine and the Department of Psychology, Yale University invite applications for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship, beginning July 1, 2008, for its NIDA-funded research training program on the prevention of substance abuse. The program combines didactic, mentored, and independent research experiences to prepare fellows as future prevention scientists. Three fundamental areas of learning are emphasized in the training program: 1) an ecological framework for the conceptualization, design, and implementation of prevention research; 2) knowledge development and application through three phases of prevention science -- pre-intervention, intervention, and diffusion or going-to-scale; and 3) use of state-of-the-art methodologies and data analytic approaches. Learning occurs through seminars, focused research activities, and close mentorship with faculty scientific advisors.

Postdoctoral fellows participate in three core seminars taught by training program faculty – Research Methods, Data Analysis, and Grant Development – as well as additional seminars and colloquia at Yale that cover related topics, such as the ethical conduct of research and current topics in substance abuse prevention. Fellows also participate in mentor-based training on two scientific projects with core faculty who serve as scientific advisors. Scientific projects available for fellows include the following: 1) child and family risk and protective factors and their relationship to behavioral and developmental outcomes in children/youth, aged birth-11 years; 2) the development of substance use and related risks during the transition from high school to college; 3) the effects of alcohol on decision making and risk taking; 4) workplace substance abuse prevention; 5) substance use and reentry among men returning from prison; 6) relationship of substance use to fathering among low-income fathers; 7) risk and protective factors and their relationship to alcohol and other drug use in youth with severe emotional disorders; 8) women’s victimization, their use of violence, PTSD, and substance use; 9) effectiveness of educational initiatives to improve achievement outcomes and reduce substance use among low-income and minority youth; 10) the reduction of traumatic symptoms, psychiatric distress, and risk behavior for sexual and substance use-related HIV transmission; and, 11) evaluation of an interdisciplinary team science consortium to prevent smoking, drinking, and overeating.

Competitive candidates will have a Ph.D. in clinical, community, developmental, or counseling psychology or in public health, a strong research background, and interest in pursuing an academic career. Interested applicants should forward a CV, representative manuscripts, statement of interests and future goals, 2-3 project preferences of those listed above, and three letters of recommendation to: David L. Snow, Ph.D., Director, Division of Prevention and Community Research, Department of Psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine, 389 Whitney Avenue, New Haven, CT 06511, or email materials to david.snow@yale.edu.

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.
