Upcoming Webinar: "Collaboration between Youth Partners and Family Partners in Wraparound"
Date/Time: April 30, 2020, 10am – 11am PT / 1pm – 2pm ET
Youth/Young Adult Peer Support is a relatively new addition to Wraparound. Programs sometimes struggle with understanding how teamwork is best enhanced when there is both a family partner and a youth partner involved. This webinar, presented by Janet Walker, Ph.D, Caitlin Baird, and Maria Hermsen, focuses on optimizing the connection between youth and family peer support partners when they are working together on Wraparound teams. It will cover key strategies on how to collaborate on addressing common challenges with life scenarios.

Opportunity: Postdoctoral Fellowship or Research Associate Position in Treatment, Services, and Implementation Research
Location/Deadline: Eugene, OR / Open until filled
This position, sponsored by Oregon Social Learning Center, is for individuals interested in pursuing a career dedicated to applied research methodology. The individual will closely collaborate with multiple investigative teams on a range of NIH-funded grants that focus on treatment, services, and implementation research. Intensive training and supervision will be provided by Dr. Jason Chapman across current NIDA and NIMH grants awarded to Drs. Lisa Saldana, Ashli Sheidow, and Mike McCart. The projects include stepped-wedge cluster randomized designs, hybrid implementation-effectiveness designs, multi-site randomized trials, and a randomized controlled trial focused on experimental mediation. Training will focus on implementing research plans, advanced statistical analyses, developing and evaluating measurement instruments, disseminating research findings, and designing new studies and data analysis plans. The position does not require teaching or clinical workloads, and the potential for future employment as an OSLC Scientist is contingent upon performance and availability of funding.
