Postdoctoral Scholar
Child Narratives Lab, PI: Klemfuss
Department of Psychological Science
University of California, Irvine

The Child Narratives Lab in the Department of Psychological Science at UC Irvine, is currently recruiting a full time postdoctoral scholar. Under the direction and supervision of the faculty director, this position entails data management and analysis, grant and manuscript writing, in addition to other managerial and coordination tasks as needed.

Much of this research focuses on developing and refining methods for helping adults (e.g. forensic interviewers, clinicians, parents) elicit accurate and complete information from children about their past experiences in a supportive way.
