    We are especially interested in candidates who will expand our commitment to strengthening diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Responsibilities will include


    • Providing culturally responsive and evidence based psychological evaluation and treatment for youth at high risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes many of whom have obesity and related health complications
