IMMEDIATE AVAILABILITY:
Research Study Therapist located in Colorado Springs, Colorado
The University of Utah's Department of Psychology is currently seeking to hire a research study therapist as part of a Department of Defense-funded randomized control trial being conducted at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The primary aim of the research study is to compare the effectiveness of three commonly-used crisis interventions for the short-term reduction of suicide attempt risk among active duty Soldiers. The successful candidate will be responsible for recruiting participants, explaining study procedures and obtaining informed consent, conducting clinical interviews and self-report psychological assessments, providing structured interventions designed to reduce the risk of suicidal behaviors of active duty Army Soldiers, manually entering data into a centralized database, and maintaining research records. The study is overseen and operated through the National Center for Veterans Studies (www.veterans.utah.edu) located at The University of Utah.
All clinical work will be conducted within the Division of Behavioral Health clinical facilities and Evans Army Community Hospital at Fort Carson.
Successful candidates will receive training and supervision by Craig J. Bryan, PsyD, ABPP (Principal Investigator), and Tracy Clemans, PsyD (Project Manager), who are military suicide researchers and clinicians.
Applicants must have a master's degree in a mental health field (e.g., psychology, social work, psychiatric nursing). Prior experience working within military medical systems and with providing manualized treatment is strongly preferred, but not required.
