Colorado Jobs - Education and Training

The position of Mental Health Counselor - Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) Focus provides mental health services for Colorado State University students. Responsibilities include the support of alcohol and other drug treatment services, general clinical services, graduate training, and some outreach programming.
 
This position reports to the Director of Specialty Counseling Services and serves as a staff member in Drugs, Alcohol, and You (DAY) Programs.

The Research Associate III will work in close coordination with Dr. Schultz and other researchers focused on climate adaptation as part of Colorado State University’s (CSU) Climate Adaptation Partnership (CAP) for Policy Innovation and Research Coordination. The CAP works to foster collaborations among CSU researchers and center leaders that work on climate adaptation with two core emphases: 1) supporting interdisciplinary research efforts to address the complex challenges of climate adaptation and 2) building connections among researchers and policymakers to facilitate the application of climate adaptation research in policy venues. The CAP was formed in 2020 as is led by Dr. Courtney Schultz (Department of Forest and Rangeland Stewardship) and Dr. Leisl Carr-Childers (Department of History). The CAP is establishing itself as the go-to entity on campus for climate adaptation researchers and policymakers who are interested in tackling the challenges of adaptation. 
We seek an innovative research associate to join our team to lead interdisciplinary team publications on climate adaptation and apply to funding opportunities with the CAP team for future interdisciplinary research projects and institutional development of the CAP as an organization. The focus of this position is on research coordination and team publications, rather than new data collection, unless additional research funding is obtained by the incumbent. Team peer-reviewed publications will broadly focus on climate adaptation and require coordinating writing with co-authors from disparate disciplines (policy, history, ethnic studies, engineering, atmospheric sciences, agriculture, fire ecology, etc.).  The incumbent will be tasked with taking a largely independent role in conducting these activities, in coordination with members and collaborators of the CAP (see https://www.research.colostate.edu/cip/cap/). Depending on interest, the incumbent may take on small teaching and advising assignments or other activities, as the opportunities within the research groups of the CAP members are rich and diverse. Post-doctoral scholars may negotiate some time to support publishing on their past research.  
There are several members of the CAP team who could advise the incumbent, depending on the incumbent’s interests and areas of focus. Candidates are encouraged to apply if their research interests align with the focal areas of the CAP, but they must be prepared to lead interdisciplinary team publications. Focal areas include climate adaptive land management, fire management, agriculture, water management, and related studies on climate adaptation pathways, policies, or strategies.  
This is a one-year position with possibility of extension depending on funding availability.  

The department accepts applications on an ongoing basis from individuals who are interested in obtaining research positions within the department in laboratories in the areas of Prion Biology research. The open positions may be temporary or special assignment and may be for limited time periods. This is an open pool, and applications will be forwarded to open positions as they become available. 
 
Research Associate positions are available in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Pathology in the area of Prion Biology research. Applicants must have a Bachelor’s degree in microbiology, biology, molecular biology, biochemistry or a closely related field. 
 
These positions include interaction with the Principal Investigator as well as other research assistants. The individual will be part of a team of researchers completing a federally funded research project and will have a broad range of responsibilities which may include but are not limited to: 
1.General lab organization and ordering of supplies.
