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. Alongside the institution’s use of letters of concern and behavioral flags to influence behavior, these projects will focus on violence prevention through early and collaborative problem-solving with three sets of parties: Reporters, Experiencers, and Disrupters (as identified in the Disruptive Behavior Reporting System; DBRS). The first pilot project will...

  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...

Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Psychology McGill University, Montreal, Canada The McGill Intergroup Cognition Laboratory at McGill University in Montreal [miclab.ca], directed by Jordan Axt, is seeking applications for a Post-Doctoral Researcher, beginning Fall 2021. The contract is for one year, with option of renewal pending satisfactory performance. POSITION DESCRIPTION : The ideal candidate will be interested in contributing to on-going research in the lab. One trajectory broadly examines the methods, validity, interpretation, and application of measures of implicit social cognition. The other examines the development and impact of social biases in judgment, and how such biases can be reduced. The post-doc could be interested in either, or both, of these areas of research.  The lab uses a wide variety of methodological techniques and focuses on a broad range of intergroup contexts, such as race, gender identity, religion, age, and physical attractiveness. Lab...

Candidates are being considered for a 1-year 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/ ). For U.S. citizens residing in North America, we are open to this being a largely remote (‘tele-work’) position.    The focus of this position will be to support on-going analytic and manuscript projects focused on the neurobiology of fear and anxiety and its role in the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders, depression, substance abuse, and psychosis. A secondary focus will be linking variation in circuit function to thoughts, feelings, and behavior in the clinic and real-world, indexed via semi-structured interviews and smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA). In most cases, data have already been collected. There will be opportunities to become involved in other projects, develop new analytic strategies, and develop mentored...

Postdoctoral Position Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment Department of Psychiatry Dr. Jennifer Foss-Feig, Assistant Professor at the Seaver Autism Center at Mount Sinai, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to assist with EEG, MRI, and eye tracking studies of neurodevelopmental disorders. Dr. Foss-Feig’s lab investigates neural mechanisms associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), with an emphasis on sensory and perceptual processing abnormalities that are linked to specific mechanistic hypotheses (e.g., excitatory/inhibitory imbalance). The lab also emphasizes a cross-diagnostic approach, with a focus on exploring the overlap between ASD and schizophrenia. Additional work in the lab takes a genetics-first approach, exploring neural profiles in monogenic syndromes (i.e., Phelan- McDermid syndrome, Fragile X syndrome) that are associated with ASD. Methods in the lab include EEG, MRI, eye tracking, and psychophysics-based approaches. Studies are conducted...
