A Postdoctoral research position is available in the Duke Early Experience and the Developing Brain (DEED) Lab at Duke University in Durham, NC working with Dr. Michael Gaffrey. The DEED Lab (sites.duke.edu/deed/) investigates how early life experiences and brain development interact to place children at greater- or lesser- risk for negative mental health outcomes (e.g., depression, anxiety, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder). We use neuroimaging techniques (task fMRI, functional connectivity fMRI, structural MRI, and EEG) along with behavioral and clinical assessments to investigate the development of emotion and self-regulation, with a particular interest in using what we learn to inform early identification and preventive intervention efforts for young children struggling in these areas. The successful candidate will join and help lead a federally funded longitudinal neuroimaging project investigating neurodevelopment associated with early emerging risk for depression in preschool age children. The DEED Lab is part of the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience at Duke University and collaborates with faculty at Duke as well as at other institutions, providing an excellent research and training environment. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to participate in a uniquely rich neuroscience research environment at Duke, including the Brain Imaging and Analysis Center (BIAC), the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience (CCN), and the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences (DIBS). Opportunities to visit DEED Lab collaborators at other institutions may also be possible. The primary duties of the Postdoctoral research position will include assisting the PI (Gaffrey) with monitoring neuroimaging data acquisition (MRI, fMRI, EEG) and quality control, analyzing data to inform study related hypotheses, writing and submitting manuscripts, presenting study findings at conferences, and assisting the PI with grant administration activities as necessary. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to develop independent studies within the broader aims of the lab and draw on resources within the DEED lab as well as the Duke community to develop independent training/research grant proposals.  The successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. in Psychology, Cognitive/Behavioral Neuroscience, or a related field, and have documented evidence of research productivity.  Preference will be given to applicants with a demonstrated background in neuroimaging (fMRI and/or EEG) and developmental and/or clinical research. A strong background in computer programming/scripting (e.g., Matlab, R, Python) and/or statistics is a plus but not required. Interested applicants should send their CV, a brief cover letter describing their research experience and interests, and contact information for 2-3 references to Michael Gaffrey at  michael.gaffrey@duke.edu.   Applications will be considered until the position is filled.

This position is in the lab of Jeremy Wolfe. We conduct psychophysical/behavioral research primarily in the area of visual attention. How do you find what you are looking for  in a world full of things you are not looking for? How do radiologists find a tumor in an x-ray? How do their eyes move when they are searching? Why do we miss things? How can we keep track of several things at the same time? Healthy young adults are the experimental observers for most experiments. Medical image perception, especially with radiologists as observers, is an increasingly large aspect of work in the lab.   The position involves all stages of the research process, from planning experiments and preparing documents for the human subject review board to helping write up results for publication; but the main focus is data collection and analysis. Research assistants typically attend and present at one scientific meeting each year, funding permitting.   This position requires a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science  degree. A major in Psychology or related field would be preferable, but is not necessary. Some research experience would also be useful. Strong interpersonal and communication skills are needed in order to successfully work with expert observers (e.g. radiologists). A candidate should have some computer experience and should be willing to learn how to use our statistics, graphics, and word processing packages.  Programming experience is not necessary, but familiarity with MATLAB would be a plus. Familiarity with eye tracking would be another plus. A candidate must be able to work in an organized, independent manner on multiple tasks and should be able to interact with subjects in a tactful and pleasant manner.   This is an excellent position for a recent college graduate who wants to spend two or more years in a research setting before going on to graduate or medical school. NOTES: A two-year commitment is required. The position is not appropriate for those with advanced degrees. Visa and funding issues make it extremely difficult to hire non-US residents. Non-citizens with permission to work in the US are welcome to apply.   The Visual Attention Lab is committed to diversity and inclusion in hiring for this position.   This position could start anytime between about May 1 and Sept 1, depending on the candidate’s schedule (Finish college first!).   If interested, please send an email to Jeremy Wolfe. jwolfe@partners.org  

Applicants are sought for an   NIAAA -funded research project involving secondary data analysis and new data collection investigating mechanisms of problem-drinking reduction (including recovery from Alcohol Use Disorder) across different periods of the adult lifespan (young adulthood, midlife, and older adulthood). This will be a two-to-three-year position in which the successful candidate will (1) help coauthor research papers currently at various stages of preparation on mechanisms of problem-drinking reduction in young adulthood and midlife and (2) assist with planning and oversight of survey-based data collection emphasizing possible links between health issues (including cognitive decline) and problem drinking in a sample of midlife and older adults. All of this research centers around characterizing mechanisms of problem-drinking reductions toward evaluating multiple theoretical models of how reductions occur, understanding developmental variability across the adult lifespan in key mechanisms, and thereby guiding lifespan-developmentally-informed interventions. This position offers many significant training opportunities. Beyond experience gained assisting in the above   NIAAA -funded research, the successful candidate will also participate in training activities alongside postdoctoral trainees supported by the Center of Alcohol Studies postdoctoral fellowship program in translational addictions research. The fellowship is led by an interdisciplinary team of addiction scientists affiliated with the Center. Training is designed to build knowledge in a number of core domains of addictions research including (1) implementation science, experimental medicine, and clinical trials, (2) psychopathology in the context of lifespan development, (3) cognitive and affective neuroscience models in animals and humans (4) biostatistics, (5) research design, management, and ethics, (6) scientific writing and oral presentation, and (7) grant preparation. Altogether, the experience and training offered by this position will impart skills necessary for submitting competitive career development (e.g.,   LRP   and K) awards. For interested applicants, there is also potential for this position to facilitate broader career-development training opportunities through the   INSPIRE ( IRACDA   New Jersey/New York for Science Partnerships in Research & Education) Postdoctoral Program at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School ( RWJMS ). The Center of Alcohol Studies ( CAS ), located on the Busch Campus of Rutgers University, is a multidisciplinary research and training institute.   CAS is home to a group of internationally recognized scholars with strong records in addiction-focused clinical and biomedical research on alcohol and substance use disorders from across many Rutgers University schools and programs, as   well as an illustrious group of affiliated scientists outside of the university. The Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology ( GSAPP ) is home to   CAS , with strong ties to the School of Public Health, University Behavioral Health Services, and the Brain Health Institute. GSAPP’s commitment to diversity, social justice and helping the underserved contributes to a supportive and mission-focused atmosphere. We place a high degree of emphasis on fostering and encouraging a diverse community of faculty and students and on supporting research/practice that benefits diverse and under-served communities; applicants who can contribute in this valued direction are particularly encouraged to apply.
