The Postdoctoral Fellow will perform a number of functions related to the implementation of the project including participation in intervention implementation and evaluation, supervision of graduate students and research assistants, liaising with partnering systems (schools and law enforcement), and preparing manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication. Supervision and mentorship will be provided by the investigator team.
