POSITION: Senior Service Fellow (Behavioral Scientist)
ORGANIZATION: CDC
DVP is seeking highly qualified candidates for a full-time Senior Service Fellow position as a Behavioral Scientist. The ideal candidate will have research experience and subject matter expertise in community violence, including knowledge of victimization and offending by high-risk groups and preventive interventions to reduce serious and lethal violence in communities, and the broader field of youth violence prevention.
Community violence is violence between individuals who are unrelated, and who may or may not know each other, generally taking place outside the home. Examples of community violence include youth violence such as assaults or fights among groups, and shootings in public areas.
DVP defines youth violence as “the intentional use of physical force or power to threaten or harm others by young people ages 10-24. It typically involves young people hurting peers who are unrelated to them and who they may or may not know well. Youth violence can include fighting, bullying, threats with weapons, and gang-related violence. A young person can be involved with youth violence as a victim, offender, or witness.”
Exposure to, and involvement in community violence, is a serious public health problem and an adverse childhood experience (ACE) that can have long-term impact on health and well-being. The good news is community violence and ACEs are preventable.
