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...
