Duties and Responsibilities:

• As a member of an interdisciplinary team, execute and coordinate a program of mental health sciences research and education focused on enhancing psychological health literacy and targeting mental health stigma reduction and care access.
• Conduct systematic reviews of professional literature and other empirical research to develop and deliver evidence-based products such as, but not limited to, professional reports, presentations, blogs, educational materials, manuscripts, briefing materials, etc.
• Disseminate above-mentioned products across digital, print, workshop, and live presentation platforms virtually and in-person.
• Conduct scientific program evaluation activities to measure the impact of a marketing campaign designed to reduce mental health stigma while increasing help-seeking behavior across the activity duty and veteran military populations.
• Apply subject matter expertise and experience delivering mental health services in an integrated Primary Care-Behavioral Health environment to develop tools and strategies for use throughout the DoD health system.  This may include, but not be limited to:
  • establishing and evaluating outcomes related to the effectiveness of stigma mitigation education and intervention activities and products;
  • translating clinical and research materials into written products and presentations; and
  • supporting implementation science projects that promote uptake of evidence-based stigma reduction and stigma mitigation interventions within the Military Health System.
• Integrate a clinical psychological perspective into strategies for promoting psychological health literacy across the activity duty and veteran communities.
• Work with diverse communities ranging from primary care providers, specialty care providers, Commanders, and Line Leaders in helping to implement strategies for promoting help-seeking behavior throughout our military and veteran communities.
• Provide logistics and meeting support (scheduling, producing minutes, facilitating, etc.) for mental health-related working groups.

Mandatory Qualifications:

• Doctoral degree in professional Psychology (i.e., clinical or counseling) from a graduate program accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) or Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) at the time the degree was granted.
• Completed a professional psychology internship program that was accredited by the APA or CPA at the time the program was completed. 
• Hold a current license to practice psychology. 
• 10 or more years post-doctorate experience including a minimum of two years’ experience providing services in an integrated Primary Care-Behavioral Health Care setting. 
• Demonstrable experience conducting empirical research to develop, produce, deliver, and teach/train the products and activities presented under “Duties and Responsibilities” above.

Beneficial Qualifications (Education, Certifications, Experience, Skills):

• Prior experience as a federal contractor
• Prior US DoD mental health experience
• Previous peer reviewed publications related to anti-stigma efforts
• Ability and experience communicating effectively (speaking and writing) to diverse audiences in order to convey clinical processes, problems, and solutions
