Summary of Duties:

The Trainer, Learning and Design will be responsible for overseeing the PRISM Collaborative’s ongoing efforts to train treatment providers in Contingency Management (CM), a behavioral approach to treating substance use disorder (SUD). The PRISM Collaborative is a dynamic team of researchers working to develop, test, and disseminate strength-based solutions for mental health and substance use disorders.
Specifically, this position will be responsible for collaborating with other training staff to develop training materials adapted to audience needs, deliver virtual and in-person training sessions to clinical treatment providers from diverse backgrounds, engage in outreach to expand trainings, and oversee the day-to-day operations of PRISM’s training efforts. This position will promote best practices in teaching and learning by collaborating with clinicians and clinical staff to implement technologies and methods that are conducive to the learning process.
