The second study involves a brief telehealth intervention with people with pancreatic cancer. Post Doctoral Scholar will collaborate with Dr. Wells-Di Gregorio on manuscripts, grants, and presentations. Additional responsibilities will include data analyses, collaboration with biomedical labs, and teaching/supervision of research staff.
