The Alcohol & Drug Abuse Institute at the University of Washington is seeking a RESEARCH SCIENTIST to work on projects related to substance use disorder, primarily opioid use disorder, as well interventions aimed at reducing substance use morbidity and mortality. While projects intersect with traditional drug treatment and health care providers, the major innovation of these projects is to engage high needs people such as those who inject drugs, are homeless, and/or are involved with the criminal justice system in settings with which they already interact.
Projects include development and testing of the impacts of interventions to reduce negative consequences of substance use disorder for high-needs clients not currently seeking substance use-related services. This includes supporting the implementation of evidence based interventions for multiple federal and state funded implementation projects across Washington State via the provision of training, technical assistance, and clinical consultation. These implementation projects could lead to future research projects for which the research scientist may pursue research grants.
