We invite a CV and letter of introduction from early career investigators who have:

• Strong skills in project management, research collaboration, and proposal development;
• A track record of relevant publications; and
• Experience writing grant and/ or proposal applications for NIH, SAMHSA and/or other agencies that fund scientific research.

PIRE is a soft-money and self-funded research organization. This independence and freedom come with the responsibility of seeking and securing one’s own funding. As part of your CV and introduction, please share a brief description of your research interests and potential funders.

Successful applicants will be expected to pursue their own research while collaborating with other PIRE scientists in areas of mutual interest. Current or recent funding from NIH, SAMHSA, and/or other federal or state agencies is desired but not required. PIRE is prepared to assist researchers who submit applications with startup funding, mentorship, administrative assistance, and collaborative scientific support. Employment is contingent upon successful awards.

PIRE has a strong commitment to research dissemination and moving science to practice and practice to science. The implementation of our work is demonstrated in peer-reviewed journal articles, reports for government and lay audiences and professional presentations. Documentation of PIRE’s capabilities and work in these areas can be found on PIRE’s website (www.pire.org). We also have positions at our four other locations: Berkeley, CA, Beltsville, MD, Chapel Hill, NC, and Louisville, KY.

We look forward to talking with you about your interests and how your research can grow with PIRE.
