Stanton A. Glantz, PhD

Research Opportunity to work with Stanton Glantz on Marijuana and Tobacco Policymaking Research

Stanton Glantz, Professor of Medicine and Director of the UC San Francisco Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education is seeking an individual to conduct policy research in the evolving policy environment around marijuana policy and how it interacts with tobacco control policymaking at the state and local level.
 
The project involves preparing detailed case studies on policy making in states with a variety of marijuana policies, including research on the development and passage (or defeat) of relevant legislation, implementation, funding and management of marijuana and tobacco control programs, efforts of public health advocates to promote public health programs, and opposition to public health policies by the marijuana and tobacco industries and their allies and surrogates. Data collection will involve researching written records, relevant laws, analyzing campaign contribution information, conducting interviews and doing field research.
 
Specialists appointed at the junior rank must possess a baccalaureate degree (or equivalent degree) in political science, public health, law, or related field. Specialists appointed at the Assistant rank must possess a master’s degree (or equivalent degree) in political science, public health, law, or related field.  (People with doctoral degrees will be considered for appointment as postdoctoral fellows.)
 
Strong analytical and writing skills are required. We prefer a candidate who is willing to commit for at least two to three years and is looking to gain research experience on the way to further career development. All application packets must include a cover letter describing your interests and experience, your CV/resume, and 2 writing samples of your work. Screening of applicants will begin immediately and will continue as needed throughout the recruitment period.
