University of Rochester Center for the Study and Prevention of Suicide (UR/CSPS)   POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN SUICIDE PREVENTION RESEARCH http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/psychiatry/csps/training/post-doctoral.cfm   The UR/CSPS is pleased to announce the availability of positions for postdoctoral training in suicide prevention research. Now in its 19th year, the UR/CSPS postdoctoral training program is supported by an institutional National Research Service Award training grant from NIMH (Yeates Conwell, MD, Program Director; Kim Van Orden, PhD, Associate Director). It provides up to three years of stipend support and related benefits for early career investigators committed to careers in suicide prevention research. Each fellow works closely with a primary mentor, takes courses and participates in a diverse array of CSPS research and training activities. A strength of the UR/CSPS fellowship is the provision of intensive mentorship in grant writing, study design, and data analysis from UR/CSPS core faculty dedicated to suicide prevention.   Mentors and consultants are available from a wide range of experts both at UR and the VA VISN 2 Center of Excellence for Suicide Prevention (VA CoE)( http://www.mirecc.va.gov/suicideprevention/ ), as well as through an international network of UR/CSPS collaborators.  Based at the University of Rochester Medical Center, one of the largest academic health systems in New York State, the UR/CSPS fellowship is associated with (but not identical to) the VA Advanced Fellowship in Veteran Mental Health and Suicide Prevention; prospective fellows may apply to both fellowships.   The emphasis of UR/CSPS research is on the development and testing of interventions across the full spectrum of approaches to suicide prevention – universal, selective, and indicated – and in a variety of vulnerable groups including adolescents and older adults, victims of violence, Veterans, and individuals with medical, psychiatric, and social comorbidities.  Faculty and fellows are currently engaged in projects that target populations across the life course. While ours is a research fellowship, opportunities for clinical work that contribute to a fellow’s program of research (and contribute to licensure) are also possible.    CSPS Faculty who serve as primary mentors:       Eric Caine, MD Dr. Caine is a psychiatrist who studies comprehensive public health approaches to suicide prevention.

Binghamton University, State University of New York (SUNY), invites applications for an assistant professor (tenure-track) joint position in Psychology and Africana Studies, with tenure-home in Psychology, to start in Fall 2020. The search committee is interested in candidates conducting either basic or applied research in diversity science, which extends the boundaries of current psychological theory and creates new discoveries about the unique psychological processes relevant to the experiences of diverse populations. We are especially interested in candidates whose research addresses disparities in mental health access and care. This focus may be broadly interpreted, including identifying trends, causes, and remedies to the disparities in mental health services. This may also include understanding the barriers in receiving needed mental health care; the potential developmental, cognitive, neural, and physiological processes that serve as important markers of mental health in different cultures; or the development of empirically based strategies for reducing disparities in mental health access and outcomes. The successful candidate will join a productive, enthusiastic and interactive faculty and will contribute to both undergraduate and doctoral student supervision and instruction. Binghamton University strongly supports and encourages trans- and inter-disciplinary collaborations across departments and colleges. Both the departments of Africana Studies and Psychology are in the Harpur College of Arts and Sciences. Harpur College is spearheading a new multi-year cluster hire initiative in the thematic area "Critical Studies in Race and Inequality." Harpur seeks to build a network of scholars who are committed to conducting research on race, racism, ethnicity, social justice, power, and structures of inequality in their diverse fields of specialization. The College is particularly interested in appointing faculty members who are deeply connected to and integrated into the communities that they study, as a means to build on the strong tradition of engaged scholarship at Binghamton University. More information about this initiative is located on the Cluster Hire webpage:   https://www.binghamton.edu/harpur/research/cluster-hire.html The Departments of Africana Studies and Psychology are dedicated to the goal of building a diverse and inclusive teaching, research, and working environment.
