Seeking a postdoctoral research scholar with prior research and mental health training to work on a mobile health and depression study. The position will start in late Spring or Summer 2021 at the Center for Healthy Minds, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Simon B. Goldberg, Heather C. Abercrombie and Richard J. Davidson are recruiting a motivated and creative postdoctoral scholar for a project evaluating a mobile health intervention for depression. The intervention is based in contemplative practices and designed to improve well-being and reduce depression. The study will evaluate intervention-related behavioral changes. In addition, affective computing methods will be used in the development of novel “passive” measures of the plasticity of well-being that can be derived from natural speech. Drs. Goldberg and Abercrombie are licensed psychologists and will provide clinical supervision for mental health assessments within the study. The Center for Healthy Minds (CHM) offers an...

We are currently recruiting for our Postdoctoral Fellowship with a focus on Violence Prevention .   The VISN 17 Center of Excellence for Research on Returning War Veterans is accepting applications for a one- to two-year Postdoctoral Fellowship working on the Central Texas VA Workplace Violence Prevention and Disruptive Behavior Initiatives.  PROJECT DESCRIPTION Dr. Karl Slaikeu, Workplace Violence Prevention Program Coordinator (WVPPC) for the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System (CTVHCS), is leading an exciting set of projects to optimize the organization’s workplace violence prevention efforts.

The first pilot project will...

Dr. Jeremy D. W. Clifton and Dr. Martin E. P. Seligman at the University of Pennsylvania seek a Post-Doctoral Fellow to join the Primals Project in the Summer or Fall of 2021 for one year, with renewal up to three years depending on performance. Primal world beliefs (‘primals’) are beliefs about the basic character of the world, such as the world is dangerous or the world is abundant . Historically, only one primal has been widely studied—belief in a just world—and it is thought to have a cascading influence across personality and well-being variables because it informs the interpretation of ambiguity, leading in this case to increased productivity, prosociality, and well-being. What about other primals? University of Pennsylvania researchers recently conducted the first broad-based systematic effort to empirically derive all major primals humans hold, resulting in a taxonomy of 26 primals including one primary primal (Good world belief), three secondary primals (Safe,...

  POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE – Next Generation Screening of Maternal Mental Health Posting Date: February 15th 2021   The Health-Omics & Perinatal Epidemiology (HOPE) Research Group at the Yale Child Study Center seeks a Postdoctoral Associate to develop Next Generation Screening approaches to identify and support pregnant people at risk for adverse mental health outcomes.   This project focuses on implementing passive data capture within an existing, longitudinal pregnancy cohort to identify digital phenotypes that better predict mental health outcomes. A second objective of this project is to integrate digital and biological phenotypes (e.g., genomics/epigenomics) in prediction models of maternal mental health and evaluate their performance versus conventional models based on questionnaire data alone. The Postdoctoral Associate will be responsible for optimizing passive data capture protocols, biological data QC, data analyses and manuscript preparation. The successful...

The Autism Biomarkers Consortium for Clinical Trials (ABC-CT) seeks a highly qualified post-doctoral associate to participate in cutting-edge clinical research on autism spectrum disorder at the Yale Child Study Center. The ABC-CT is a network of leading scientists at five sites (Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard University, University of Washington/Seattle Children’s Research Institute, Duke University, University of California – Los Angeles, and Yale University). The goal of this consortium is to generate a set of reliable behavioral and psychophysiological tools for use in clinical trials with children with ASD. Specifically, we will be working to integrate diagnostic, behavioral, EEG, and eye tracking methods to create biomarkers that can be used to reduce the heterogeneity of autism and indicate efficacy of treatments. The ABC-CT at Yale is hiring a post-doctoral associate for clinical training in the context of this multi- site, longitudinal research project...
