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.

The Research Postdoctoral Fellow will work under the supervision and mentorship of Dr. So Hyun “Sophy” Kim, to support projects funded by NIH and Simons Foundation examining early behavioral features and trajectories of with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and a study examining executive function and school readiness in children with ASD at CADB’s ASD & Developmental Science Lab (PI: Kim). Responsibilities will include data collection (e.g., conducting developmental and diagnostic assessments for children with ASD, delivering evidence-based interventions), preparation of manuscripts and grant applications, and training research assistants. The Fellow will also have opportunities for clinical training to get licensed under the supervision of licensed clinicians.

The ideal candidate will be interested in pursuing an academic career as a clinical researcher or a clinician in an academic medicine setting. To support career development in research, the Fellow will also receive protected research time and grant-writing mentorship. The Fellow will be encouraged to accrue clinical hours for their New York State Psychology license by delivering interventions (e.g., naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions in preschool classroom setting) and/or diagnostic and developmental assessments.

Applicants should have earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology or other related disciplines (e.g., developmental psychology). Applicants who are completing the APA accredited internship and are eligible for a New York State limited permit or license are preferred.

The stipend is competitive with health benefits and vacation. Position will start sometime in July-September, 2021. Interested applicants should email a CV and statement of interest to Dr. Sophy Kim at sok2015@med.cornell.edu. Application deadline: April 2^nd, 2021.

Dear colleagues,

The Food For Thought Lab is hiring a post-doctoral fellow with interests in early literacy development in Latino communities and human-computer interaction to join Drs. Diana Leyva and Erin Walker’s new research project this fall 2021. This position is at the Learning Research and Development Center (LRDC) at the University of Pittsburgh, a multi-disciplinary center for research to advance the science of learning by bringing together leading researchers in the cognitive, social, and educational sciences. The project investigates the potential efficacy of a new program that integrates literacy-supporting strategies within an intelligent reading comprehension app to help Latino parents foster their preschoolers’ literacy and language skills. The post-doc will be expected to interact fluently and culturally appropriately with the low-income, Spanish-speaking, Latino families that will participate in this research. To view the details of job description and to apply for the position, please visit: https://cfopitt.taleo.net/careersection/pitt_faculty_external_pd/jobdetail.ftl?job=21001543&tz=GMT-04%3A00&tzname=America%2FNew_York
