Cancer Digital Health/ Behavioral-health Interventionist:

We are seeking researchers trained in the application of digital health technologies in cancer prevention and control.  Applications are encouraged from those who are inspired to envision, plan and conduct innovative cancer-focused research using adaptive digital platforms or devices such as those involving cellphones, text messaging, mobile apps, and web-based modules. The driving goals of this UVA-sponsored Precision Health Initiative are to broaden our ability to effectively prevent, diagnose, and /or delay cancer processes or events in diverse populations.  Digital health technology is a critical strategy to expand the reach of cancer prevention and control  interventions and allow personalization by tailoring the content and delivery of intervention to the individual’s needs or circumstances across diverse settings. The successful faculty candidate must have a proven track record of sustained peer-reviewed funded research relevant to digital interventions involving cancer screening, early detection, and/or the delivery of personalized  therapies to control cancer. Candidates must have a scholarly record of collaboration in multidisciplinary investigator teams informed by community needs and with key focal sites within communities such as healthcare practices, community centers, organizations, or neighborhoods.

UVA Cancer Center is committed to promoting inclusion and equity among its internal and external communities by creating an environment that supports and enables the success of a diverse community. Promoting inclusion requires intervention at the individual and institutional levels to foster research environments that are supportive and sustainable. Diversity facilitates scientific advancement and innovative and creative research and helps us to capitalize on distinct perspectives. Diversity also contributes to robust learning environments and improved research quality.
