Assistant Professor of Public Facing Border Scholarship

Job No: 546240
Work Type: 
Locations: San Diego
Categories: Unit 3 - CFA - California Faculty Association, Faculty - Social Sciences, Tenured/Tenure-Track, Full Time

 Description As part of San Diego State University's (SDSU) Strategic Plan and the goal of leveraging our university's unique identity, SDSU aims to hire two initial faculty to enhance the quantity and quality of public facing and interdisciplinary border scholarship. Located in a biodiversity hotspot and the most diverse county in the continental US, just north of the San Ysidro/Tijuana port of entry - the busiest border crossing in the world that bisects Kumeyaay homelands - SDSU has long been an incubator for U.S./Mexico border-related research (i.e., binational biodiversity and water management, migration and displacement, national securitization, regional development). SDSU is looking to recruit two scholars to join a diverse cohort of colleagues from a broad range of disciplines and a variety of academic and research backgrounds addressing borders broadly defined both geographically and conceptually. Candidates must clearly demonstrate how their research, scholarship, and/or creative activities are collaborative/interdisciplinary and engage with borders as understood in their disciplines.While we live in an increasingly interconnected world, nation-state borders and the concomitant processes impacted by their existence (migration, policing, free trade, illicit economy, drug trafficking, water and air pollution, water/natural resource management to name a few) remain as steadfast concerns as ever. Border spaces have also been sites of positive change and interactions including binational trade and development, multi-ethnic communities, language diffusion, and collaborative engagements in addressing multinational concerns. At the time of the fall of the Berlin wall, there were only about a dozen border walls around the world. Today nearly a hundred border walls have been built the world over. The U.S./Mexico border has been an integral site for much theorizing (border as laboratory, borderlands theory, border gnosis) that has led to the broader interdisciplinary field of Border Studies, anchored in the study of nation-state borders, but itself crossing boundaries across disciplinary traditions, objects of study, sites of research, and modes of inquiry. Border Studies has also been an intellectual space for challenging the boundaries of academic disciplines and the "two cultures" (Sciences and Humanities; "facts" vs. "values") that have long structured and delimited epistemological divides in academic thinking and knowledge production. Public-facing scholarship is academic work designed to transcend such divides and be relevant to broad audiences or practitioners who might take the scholarship to the people most affected in timely and ethical waysQualifications As we continue to develop one of SDSU's areas of expertise in border studies, we seek applicants who engage in border scholarship broadly conceived. We welcome applications from scholars in any discipline whose work addresses any of a myriad of border issues as understood in their fields and not just limited to nation state borders. Examples may include, but are not limited to, Indigenous Borderlands, border ethnomusicology, history of science, borders of disciplinary thinking, cross-border land and resource management, binational biodiversity, transborder ecologies and built environments, chaos theory, transnational public health, border art, comparative border studies, cross-border leadership and entrepreneurship, border cities, border economies, technologies of care, border cinema, sustainable agriculture, alternative sustainable tourism management, borderlands activism(s), border environmental health, transborder environmental engineering, sustainable planning in border regions, multinational public policy, border indigenous sciences. Scholars who work on different border sites around the world, at and beyond the U.S/Mexico border, and have demonstrated success with extramural funding, are encouraged to apply.Understanding Public ScholarshipIn the current fast-paced media world, public scholarship takes many forms. Podcasts, crossover/mass market books, K-12 curriculum, media interviews, high-traffic/interactive educational websites, art and performance, cinema, and public writing are all ways for scholars to share knowledge and pose questions with an audience beyond the academy. Practitioners who also have a foot in the academic world is another illustrative example of how one might contribute to public scholarship. Further examples include regular or consistent op-eds, public lectures, exhibits or performances, and social media visibility. This varies according to disciplines as well. For example, there are well established conversations in Museum Studies about how public-facing scholarship is about conducting research, teaching, and practice both with and for the public. Research models can also include work alongside and in collaboration with community-based organizations, tribal nations, or other relevant individuals or collective entities, rather than treating them as mere objects of research. Much work has been done on the question of research ethics and protocols when it comes to working with Indigenous or "vulnerable" communities.San Diego State University is the largest university in San Diego and the third largest in California. The highly diverse campus community has a student population of over 36,000 and approximately 5,849 faculty and staff. SDSU is included in the Carnegie Foundation's Doctoral Universities: High Research Activity category.

King's College London

£40,880 per annum, including London Weighting Allowance

About us:

The Social, Genetic & Developmental Psychiatry (SGDP) Centre is an interdisciplinary research centre that focuses on how genetics (‘nature’) and the environment (‘nurture’) interact to affect psychiatric disorders, neurodevelopmental conditions, and individual differences across development.

Collaborative interdisciplinary research and training are the hallmarks of the SGDP, with research encompassing behavioural genetics, molecular genetics, experimental psychology and psychiatry, and neuroimaging. Our links with clinicians and clinical medicine enable us to maximise the impact of our research for clinical practice and public health policy.

The Centre’s focus is on common psychiatric disorders and neurodevelopmental conditions that emerge in childhood and adolescence, such as mood disorders (anxiety and depression), ‘externalising’ disorders (disruptive behaviour including hyperactivity and addictions), and neurocognitive conditions (learning disabilities and the autistic spectrum) as well as psychotic disorders.  The academics within the Centre are extraordinarily diverse, with multi-disciplinary expertise across psychiatry, developmental and social psychology, psychopathology, personality and cognitive traits, statistical genetics, epigenetics, molecular genetics, behavioural genetics and neuroimaging.

The Clinical Academics working in the SGDP have close links with King’s College London with the NHS from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust where they provide clinical care.

About the role:

The CCP- RCT study is a waiting list design randomised control trial set to test the effectiveness of the existing Cannabis Clinic for Psychosis intervention for cannabis use reduction/cessation in patients with psychotic disorder.

Consistent evidence has shown that continuing to use cannabis after the onset of a psychotic disorder results in increased rates of relapses, compulsory hospital admissions and poor functional outcome. The Cannabis Clinic for Psychosis (CCP) is the first, and still the only NHS service offering an intervention to reduce/stop cannabis use to adults suffering from psychotic disorders under the care of the South London and Maudsley NHS foundation Trust (SLaM). A recent paper reviewing the outcome measures of the first 46 patients who completed the CCP intervention indicated that 73% stop their cannabis use and the remaining 27% reduced their use from daily to once a week.  The latter group as well as those who stopped their use experienced a significant improvement in their clinical symptoms and a remarkable improvement in functioning, returning to school or to work. Qualitative data also suggested that patients found the CCP intervention helpful and tailored to their needs.

Nevertheless, to robustly establish the effectiveness and safety of the CCP intervention the Maudsley Charity  awarded us funding to complete a waiting list randomised control trial (RCT) of the CCP intervention.  The waiting list RCT design allows everyone recruited into the RCT to eventually receive the intervention.

The Research Assistant position will be full time, for 3 years, and based at the SGDP department. The successful candidate main role  will involve : 1)  preparing all the documents necessary for the CCP-RCT Ethics application and follow the process to completion, 2) lead on the CCP-RCT participants recruitment and 3) data collection. These tasks will involve working across KCL and SLaM in close collaboration with the CCP clinical team and with research participants who are suffering from psychosis as well as using cannabis, referred to the CCP.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to attend regular teaching events as well as training courses available at the IoPPN and across KCL to further develop skills and knowledge.

The successful candidate will work closely with Professor Di Forti, the KCL CTU and the CCP clinical team to ensure effective collaboration and coordination of research activities, strong organizational skills, excellent communication abilities, and the capacity to work both independently and as part of a team.

About you:

Essential criteria


	Ability to work independently showing initiative and proactive attitude when faced with challenges, demonstrating problem-solving skills.
	Evidence of excellent organizational and time management skills.
	Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
	Ability to collaborate with diverse stakeholders and work well within a team.
	Experience in working with people suffering from psychosis
	Experience with data analyses in data analysis in SPSS and/or R


Desirable criteria


	Previous experience of preparing Ethics application for research project
	Experience of working in RCT
	Experience of assessment and recruitment of people suffering from psychosis
	Experience of data management
