Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH) invites applications for mid- or senior- career level research scientist positions within the Center for Childhood Deafness, Language & Learning (CCDLL).  A call for three junior scientist positions will follow after that time.  Our vision is to grow the CCDLL into a program with tightly integrated research and clinical arms that work synergistically on issues of language learning and development .  Work that fits this focus could involve examination of differences between learners with varying diagnoses; determination of the influences of intervention as well as family, academic, and social environments on language outcomes; comparison of developmental processes that support language learning during infancy, childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood; and investigation of brain adaptability and neurologic pathways that support language learning and development.  We are assembling a faculty that can offer a unique perspective on such issues, one that is informed by a commitment to understanding and ameliorating the effects of childhood disabilities on language learning and development. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in Speech-Language Pathology, Cognitive Science, Developmental Psychology or a related field and a record that demonstrates a highly productive and excellent research program.  Expertise in developmental language disorder, hearing impairment, or emotional/behavioral disorders is of particular interest, but not required. Scientists at Boys Town National Research Hospital are full-time researchers with no teaching or administrative responsibilities and reasonable service commitments.  Senior scientists aim for 50% salary support on external grants.  Via participation in the Center for Perception and Communication in Children (CPCC) funded by a Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grant, junior scientists are provided with extensive mentoring and three years of full support to enable them to reach this goal.  All scientists will have access to new, state-of-the art laboratory facilities, generous start-up funds, and extensive supports for grant management, IT, participant recruitment, and clinical measurement. Scientists at Boys Town National Research Hospital have the advantage of working alongside an outstanding, internationally recognized group of colleagues.  In addition to clinicians and scientists in the CCDLL, collaborations are possible with faculty in the Centers for Neurobehavioral Research, Sensory Neuroscience Research, Audiological and Vestibular Services, and Hearing Research.  Our intellectual community also includes colleagues at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Creighton University and the Creighton University School of Medicine.  Our participation in the Great Plains IDeA-Clinical & Translational Research Center provides training opportunities, partnerships, and resources for scientists who wish to translate science into better health outcomes. Omaha, Nebraska, a city located on the banks of the Missouri River, is frequently rated as one of the best places to live in the United States.  Advantages include a moderate cost of living, quality schools, an increasingly diverse and vibrant population, excellent restaurants, a strong artistic and cultural environment, low unemployment, and a strong economy.

Candidates are being considered for a NIMH-funded postdoctoral position in the laboratory of Dr. Alex Shackman in the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland at College Park ( http://shackmanlab.org/ ).  The overarching mission of the lab is to have a deep impact on the fields of affective and translational neuroscience. To that end, we do our best to perform innovative studies that can lead to significant discoveries, to disseminate our discoveries as widely as possible, and to mentor trainees to become top-notch scientists. The focus of this position will be to support on-going projects aimed at understanding the neurobiology of fear and anxiety and its role in the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders, depression, and substance abuse. A secondary focus will be on linking variation in the function of that circuitry to thoughts, feelings, and behavior in the real-world, indexed using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) techniques. There will be opportunities to become involved in other projects and to develop new analytic strategies. We are particularly excited about candidates with a strong background in fMRI methods or other kinds of computationally intensive signal processing (e.g. machine learning), but will also consider those with expertise in other areas of affective/cognitive neuroscience or data science/scientific programming.  We want someone who is comfortable teaching themselves new techniques and who can jump right into doing science, so decent-or-better coding and statistical skills are mandatory.  Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a relevant field and excellent organizational and interpersonal skills. This is a 1-year position that is renewable, contingent on performance and funding. Applicants should send a cover letter or portfolio describing relevant skills, experience, and interests— please provide concrete details about your technical contributions to past projects . Please include a current CV and contact information for 2-3 references to Dr. Shackman ( shackman@umd.edu ). Applicants will be considered until the position is filled.
