The Institute for Circumpolar Health Studies (ICHS) at the University
of Alaska Anchorage seeks to improve the health of the residents of
Alaska and the circumpolar north by understanding and addressing the
factors that affect health and inform policy in our region. The ICHS
is seeking two scholars who have completed their doctoral training to
engage in an intensive two-year postdoctoral training program at the
University of Alaska Anchorage. The program will consist of two years
of intensive scholar-directed research conducted in collaboration with
distinguished faculty mentors at the University of Alaska, and focused
on health issues of particular relevance for Alaskan residents. The
training curriculum will foster cross-disciplinary thinking and
dialogue, as scholars and faculty from different disciplines at the
University of Alaska assess and respond to the variety of contextual
forces shaping population health in Alaska and the circumpolar north.
Candidates must have completed their doctoral training (including the
award of their doctoral degree or letter of completion from their
registrar's office) by the time of entry into the program (May or June
2010) in one of a variety of fields including, but not limited to:
behavioral and social sciences, biological and natural sciences,
public policy, and public health. Past training in health-related
areas is not a requirement, but applicants must clearly connect their
postdoctoral research interests to substantive circumpolar health
concerns. Applicants should welcome the challenge of conducting
research in Alaska. Publication experience, professional meeting
presentations, and seminar or classroom teaching experience are
preferred. ICHS is particularly interested in individuals whose
research experience includes addiction to alcohol, tobacco, and other
substances, diet and nutrition, and global climate change.
Applications to these positions will be accepted electronically.
