Dear Colleagues,
Below is an advertisement for postdoctoral training positions. It briefly
describes the overall training program. I would just add that we are
interested in recruiting someone who has an interest in studying alcohol
and drug use issues as they relate to the workforce and to workplace. As
part of the research training, this person would collaborate with me in
any of several areas:
1) Data analysis and preparation of articles for publication from my
national survey of workplace health and safety. This study collected
detailed data on a broad set of topics, including general and
organizational demographics; descriptive and injunctive norms regarding
and employee use of alcohol/ illicit drugs in the workforce and workplace;
workplace aggression; safety culture and the experience and
characteristics of work injuries; general health outcomes; job
satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intentions to quit;
attendance, job performance, and contextual performance; job insecurity;
deviance proneness and intolerance of rules; and linked O*NET variables.
Recent articles based on this study include:
Frone, M. R. (2006). Prevalence and distribution of alcohol use and
impairment in the workplace: A U.S. national survey. Journal of Studies on
Alcohol, 76, 147-156.
Frone, M. R. (2006). Prevalence and distribution of illicit drug use in
the workforce and in the workplace: Findings and implications from a U.S.
national survey. Journal of Applied Psychology, 91, 856-869.
Schat, A. C. H., Frone, M. R., & Kelloway, E. K. (2006). Prevalence of
workplace aggression in the U.S. workforce: Findings from a national
study. In E. K. Kelloway, J. Barling, & J. Hurrell (Eds.), Handbook of
workplace violence (pp. 47-89). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage.
Grandey, A. A., Kern, J., & Frone, M. R. (2007). Verbal Abuse from
Outsiders versus Insiders: Comparing Frequency, Impact on Emotional
Exhaustion, and the Role of Emotional Labor. Journal of Occupational
Health Psychology, 12, 63-79.
2) Pending NIH funding, participate in the fielding, data analysis, and
manuscript preparation for a national study of work stress.
3) Development of future grant proposals.
Formal application should be made through the individuals identified in
the announcement below. However, I'd be happy to answer any specific
questions about the program.
Please pass this message along to anyone you think might be interested.
Postdoctoral Fellowships in Alcohol Etiology and Treatment
The Research Institute on Addictions (RIA), a research component of the
University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, has multiple
openings for NIAAA-funded postdoctoral fellows in alcohol etiology and
treatment. The program provides specialized postdoctoral training for
individuals seeking to pursue a career in alcohol research. The
interdisciplinary training program emphasizes two primary areas: (1)
etiology and course of alcohol use and misuse and (2) treatment for
alcohol use disorders. Fellows develop and pursue research interests
under the supervision of faculty preceptors. Seminars on alcohol use
disorders, current alcohol research, grant writing, and professional
issues and career development are an integral part of the training
program. A start date is negotiable. Established in 1970, RIA has a
staff of over 160 persons working on over 30 separate research projects.
RIA occupies a five-story building, and offers outstanding resources in
support of its research endeavors. Visit the RIA website at
http://www.ria.buffalo.edu. Inquiries can be made to either Gerard J.
Connors (
connors@ria.buffalo.edu) or R. Lorraine Collins
(
collins@ria.buffalo.edu), Co-Training Directors. Applicants should
forward a vita, representative reprints, letters of reference, and a cover
letter describing research interests and training goals to: Alcohol
Research Postdoctoral Training Committee, Attn: G. Connors and R. L.
Collins, Research Institute on Addictions, 1021 Main Street, Buffalo, NY
14203. Applications from minority candidates are particularly welcome.
Applicants must be citizens or noncitizen nationals of the U.S. or must
have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence. AA/EOE
