Postdoctoral Research Scholar,  Arizona State University, Department of Psychology  The Department of Psychology at Arizona State University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scholar to join the Quantitative Psychology area under the supervision of Dr. Daniel McNeish.   Project Description   The position is to work on a grant-funded project related to dynamic fit index (DFI) cutoffs for assessing model in fit latent variable models. Traditional fit index cutoffs (e.g., RMSEA < .06, CFI > .95) have been found to generalize poorly to models with different characteristics, so the goal of the project is to continue developing DFI cutoffs to provide researchers with accessible tools that produce customized cutoffs based on the user’s fitted model.  The DFI method has been worked out for confirmatory factor analysis with continuous outcomes and the grant aims to extend the idea to a broader range of models and outcome types (e.g., categorical items,...

The Department of Psychology at Arizona State University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scholar to join the Early Steps Dynamics project (ES-Dynamics) under the supervision of Drs. Jenn-Yun Tein, and Kathryn Lemery-Chalfant. The postdoctoral research scholar will join a talented and cohesive team analyzing longitudinal data from the large and racially/ethnically diverse Early Steps Multisite study, with a focus on examining proximal mechanisms of prevention and genetic influences on adolescent and adult mental health and substance misuse. Specifically, we will be using dynamic quantitative methods to examine parent-child emotions and behavior during observed interactions filmed and coded at multiple occasions across early childhood. Primary duties include data management, data analysis, and writing empirical research papers. Strong professional development is provided (e.g., ethics, diversity-equity-inclusion, advanced statistical methods, grant writing, faculty...

The Learning Research and Development Center (LRDC) at the University of Pittsburgh is accepting applications for two Postdoctoral Fellowships in youth development and learning across multiple ecological contexts with an emphasis on diversity, opportunity, and equity . The initial appointment will be two years with the possibility of renewal for a third year. The position involves work on several multi-method longitudinal studies exploring how sociocultural and psychological factors influence youth of color’s identity development, academic learning, and socioemotional well-being during middle childhood and adolescence. In particular, the fellow will work on multi-jurisdictional, longitudinal datasets collected before and during the COVID-19 pandemic to examine the individual, interpersonal, and contextual factors that mitigate or worsen the impact of school disruptions on youth’s academic adjustment and mental health, especially for those from historically marginalized and...

Carnegie Mellon University seeks highly qualified applicants to fill multiple tenure-track positions in the Department of Psychology. Appointments will be considered at ranks from assistant to associate professor (including tenured associate). Our department places high value on research that advances understanding of our areas of core strengths and their intersections, including human behavior, cognition, social interaction/relationships, well-being, physical health, language processing, learning/development, and perception. We are particularly interested in applicants whose theoretical approaches and methodologies can link across these strengths, as well as to computational modeling, large-scale and longitudinal data collection, neural foundations, or applications to health/wellness, the learning sciences, or intelligent systems. Joint appointments with related departments may also be considered for appropriate candidates. Applicants to this position may also wish to apply, when...
