Associate Professor, Psychological & Brain Sciences The University Of Delaware Newark, DE University of Delaware, College of Arts & Sciences, Associate Professor or advanced Assistant Professor, Clinical Science Program in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences The Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at the University of Delaware invites applications for a tenured Associate Professor (or advanced Assistant Professor) in Clinical Science to begin September 1, 2020. The overarching goal of the Clinical Science Program is to train clinical researchers who produce, apply, and disseminate scientific knowledge, and thus we seek a research scholar with a solid clinical science background. The ideal applicant would have a strong record of programmatic interdisciplinary research and external funding (or the strong potential to secure funding). We would especially welcome applicants who focus on clinical health or psychophysiology or who have quantitative methods expertise. Moreover, several department faculty conduct research at University’s Center for Biomedical and Brain Imaging (CBBI), a state-of-the-art research facility housing the first research-dedicated 3T MRI scanner in the state of Delaware and located adjacent to the Department. However, we are open to research expertise involving any area within clinical science broadly-defined; scholarly excellence is preferred above all else. This is an outstanding opportunity for a scholar to join and strengthen a Clinical Science Program in a department with additional programs in Behavioral Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, and Social Psychology and a promising core of interdisciplinary researchers utilizing cutting-edge methodologies. The Clinical Science Program was established in 1968, has been continuously accredited by the American Psychological Association since 1975, and was accredited by the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System in 2011. An innovative leader in research and teaching, the University of Delaware combines a rich historic legacy with a commitment to education and the latest in advanced technology. With external funding exceeding $200 million per year, the University ranks among the top 100 universities in federal R&D support for science and engineering. Enhanced by state-of-the-art facilities, research is conducted across all seven colleges and numerous interdisciplinary institutes and centers. In addition to the new 11,600 square foot CBBI, which houses a 3T Siemens Magnetom Prisma and transcranial magnetic stimulation machine, other relevant facilities on campus include a 103,000 square foot Health Sciences Complex, a facility that includes labs for human-based studies and an active outpatient clinic; a 194,000 square foot Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Laboratory; and the Delaware Technology Park, where entrepreneurial and academic research labs are co-located. The Delaware Health Sciences Alliance (DHSA), a partnership among the University of Delaware, Christiana Care Health System, Nemours/Alfred I. du Pont Hospital for Children, and Thomas Jefferson University, provides infrastructure and opportunity for innovative clinical and translational collaborations.

Our department has two (2) openings for postdoctoral fellows with expertise in functional neuroimaging as part of a well-funded, highly collaborative, interdisciplinary environment focused on the development of clinically relevant biomarkers for serious psychiatric disorders, especially schizophrenia. One fellowship, under the mentorship of Dr. Todd Lencz ( https://www.feinsteininstitute.org/our-researchers/todd-lencz-phd/ ), will be supported by a newly funded NIMH grant to investigate the relationship between neuroimaging measures and cognitive genomics in the development of psychopathology. The other fellowship, led by Dr. Anil Malhotra ( https://www.feinsteininstitute.org/our-researchers/anil-malhotra-md/ ), is supported by recently-funded NIMH grants investigating resting-state fMRI biomarkers of treatment response in schizophrenia. For both positions, the primary role of the fellow will be the conduct and analysis of functional neuroimaging studies, leading to first-authored publications in high-impact journals. Applicants should have earned a Ph.D. in a relevant area (e.g., neuroscience, bioinformatics, etc.) and/or have research experience relevant to analyzing MRI-based datasets, especially resting-state functional connectivity. Task-based fMRI, diffusion imaging, and structural MRI data are also part of these projects, although secondary in emphasis. Experience in at least one fMRI analysis platform (FSL, SPM, AFNI, etc.) is required, and knowledge of R and other statistical packages is also desirable. Positions will be funded for 2-5 years with competitive salary and benefits, commensurate with experience.
