The Health and Development Lab (PI: Katie Ehrlich) at the University of Georgia invites applications for up to three postdoctoral associate openings in the lab. The position has a flexible start date and could begin immediately (ideal start between now and late summer 2021). This position is for 1-2 years but could be extended (dependent on additional funding for the lab). We will consider candidates who would like to begin work remotely, although relocation to the Athens, GA area will be necessary by Fall 2021.

The lab has several ongoing research studies focused on social determinants of health, and we are looking for assistance with project management and dissemination of findings. Three current projects include:

1.     Annual studies focused on how stressful life experiences influence response to influenza vaccination (participants ages 10-85). This project includes cohorts of 300+ participants, many of whom participate annually (thus allowing for examination of year-to-year fluctuations in stressors and antibody response to vaccination).

2.     An ongoing 20+ year longitudinal study of African American families in rural Georgia (in collaboration with Dr. Gene Brody). We have recently received funding to begin recruiting the children of the original study participants, and research activities will focus on the intergenerational transmission of risk and resilience in this well-characterized three-generation sample. Additional projects will center on investigations of neuro-immune connections that may forecast later risk for chronic disease and substance use.

3.     A new study of risk and resilience among African American and Latinx families. This project is designed to investigate the developmental origins of “skin deep resilience” and includes repeated assessments of children’s social and emotional function, executive function, and proinflammatory processes.

Postdocs will play an important role in data analysis, manuscript preparation, and project/personnel management. Postdoctoral associates will also be encouraged to develop NRSA proposals for continued funding. Ideal candidates should have a background in advanced statistics, strong writing skills, and the ability to juggle multiple ongoing projects. Experience working with children/adolescents in a research setting is a plus.

Dear colleagues,

On behalf of Dr. Aurelie Bidet-Caulet, I would like to forward information about a postdoctoral position on auditory attention in children at the Institute of System Neurosciences (INS) in Marseille

We are looking for a full-time PhD and Postdoctoral researcher to join the newly founded Minerva Group ‘Language Evolution and Adaptation in Diverse Situations’ (LEADS), led by Dr. Limor Raviv, at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in the Netherlands. 

Drs. Chris Schatschneider and Sara Hart, at the Department of Psychology and the Florida Center for Reading Research at the Florida State University, are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work with them on a NIH-funded project, called “LDbase”.

This postdoctoral position on the LDbase project is an opportunity to help create a repository of datasets related to academic achievement available to all researchers. One role on this project is to create a series of pooled datasets through the use of measurement invariance modeling using R and to make this code available to anyone who wants it. Another role is to publish manuscripts from these datasets. Another role will be to help create data management and data analysis resources for the broader academic community (e.g., data entry best practice guide, data analysis workshop slides). So if you’re looking for a job where you’ll get a lot of experience in measurement modeling, publishing manuscripts, as well as supporting educational and developmental science researchers in data sharing – then this job is for you!

We are hoping to recruit an individual is comfortable with advanced statistical procedures such as measurement modeling. Experience with data created by educational/learning disabilities researchers is a plus. Start date is tentatively set for August 9, 2021, but we are open to an early start date. Salary is set at the NIH-levels and benefits are set by our university, but we are able to add further support with generous travel and training opportunities, and a collegial and jovial work environment.

You can apply for this job by going to www.hr.fsu.edu, clicking on “job opportunities”, and searching for job id “48641”. Applicants will be asked to provide their CV, letter of interest, and names and contact information for three individuals for whom letters of recommendation could be solicited (with names and contact info to be submitted as directed in the Letters of Reference Section). We will be taking applications until the position is filled, so apply quickly! Questions can be emailed or tweeted to Chris (schatschneider@psy.fsu.edu, @schotz) or Sara (hart@psy.fsu.edu, @saraannhart).

Two postdoctoral positions are available within the Translational Research on Affective Disorders and Suicide Laboratory at Columbia University (auerbachlab.com). Fellows will be co-mentored by Dr. Randy P. Auerbach and Dr. David Pagliaccio. The postdoctoral fellows will support NIH/NIMH and foundation-funded projects that aim to identify neural (structural and functional MRI) and real-time (e.g., experience sampling, passive sensor) markers of depression and suicide in adolescents. Postdoctoral fellows will have opportunities to pursue independent research, grants (e.g., K-awards), and interdisciplinary collaborations across Columbia University.

Applicants should have a PhD or MD with a strong track record in clinical, affective, and translational neuroscience. Applicants should be comfortable with processing and analysis of multi-modal neuroimaging data. Review of applications will begin immediately, and questions about the position can be sent directly to Dr.  Auerbach (rpa2009@cumc.columbia.edu). Applicants should submit a single pdf, including: (a) cover letter, (b) curriculum vitae, (c) 3 representative publications, and (d) list of 3 referees (including contact information). Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until a candidate is selected. There is a preference for a summer 2021 start date, but this is negotiable.
