POSITION: Various

ORGANIZATION: Rutgers New Jersey Medical School

LOCATION/JOB-TYPE:  Various

Professor Stanley H. Weiss, MD is a tenured, full-time Professor of Medicine at the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark, New Jersey, USA. A brief bio for him is posted here. (Dr. Weiss is also a professor of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the Rutgers School of Public Health, and an Associate of the Rutgers Cancer Institute of NJ.)

As of April 2021, Dr. Weiss and his team now have several open positions available. These positions are grant-funded, and will be open for immediate placement upon completion of approvals within Rutgers, and in accordance with Rutgers HR policies.

1. Post-doctoral fellowship;
2. Research & Teaching Specialist V;
3. Temporary part-time research assistants (multiple positions available, both for Rutgers students and for others);
4. Public Health Representative II.

The research positions (A, B and C) are in support of a five-year R01 grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), funded through June 2025. The research supported by this grant is part of Dr. Weiss’s larger epidemiological program, begun in the mid-1980s, studying long-term prospective cohorts of persons with a history of drug abuse. An overview of these cohort studies (written before we received the aforementioned R01 grant) is posted here. We also have several newer initiatives involving drug users, many with policy implications. We are now in the third year of a five-year non-competitive renewal cycle (and have already been asked to apply for the next continuation year).

The Public Health Representative II position is to coordinate activities of the Essex-Passaic Wellness Coalition, a bi-county chronic disease coalition, now in its 16th continuous year, and is funded by a grant (awarded annually) from the New Jersey Department of Health.

In anticipation of increasing levels of Covid-19 vaccination that will facilitate return to work, plus our need to work closely together and with our many partners, in-person work is anticipated (not virtual). (The temporary part-time research assistant positions might be virtual in special circumstances.)

We regret that there are no funds for relocation expenses.

Related in part to our rapid timeline for hiring, we regret that we cannot sponsor work visas.

If interested, please do BOTH of the following:

1. Apply online for the position at the appropriate posting on the Rutgers HR web site:
   1. Post-doctoral fellowship;
   2. Research & Teaching Specialist V;
   3. Temporary part-time research assistant (Rutgers students only);
   4. Public Health Representative II.
2. (Note that the temporary part-time research assistant positions for persons who are not Rutgers students have not yet been posted on the Rutgers HR web site. If you are interested in one of those positions, for now do just the next item, below.)
3. Send a single email message addressed to both
   Daniel M. Rosenblum, PhD at daniel.m.rosenblum@rutgers.edu,
   and Dr. Weiss at weiss@rutgers.edu,including:
   1. A cover note explaining specifically which position(s) you are interested in, with the appropriate subject line, as follows:
      1. For the post-doctoral fellowship, “INQUIRY – post-doctoral fellowship“;
      2. For the Research & Teaching Specialist V, “INQUIRY – RTS-V“;
      3. For the temporary part-time research assistant, if you’re a Rutgers student, “INQUIRY – research assistant (Rutgers student)“;
      4. For the temporary part-time research assistant, if you’re NOT a Rutgers student, “INQUIRY – research assistant (NON-Rutgers student)“;
      5. For the Public Health Representative II, “INQUIRY – Public Health Rep II“.
   2. Your email address and cell phone number in your cover note, and also let us know whether you will need to relocate.
   3. [Optionally] Your preferred pronouns (she/her/hers, he/him/his, other), so we’ll know whether to address you as Ms. or Mr.
   4. How you heard about the position you’re inquiring about.
   5. All material detailed in our instructions. Please read and follow these carefully.
   6. If you were to receive a firm job offer, how long afterwards might be the earliest you would be able to start?
