UC Davis - Postdoctoral Fellowship - MIND Institute

UCDAVIS HEALTH

School of Medicine - Public Health Services

1 Year Postdoctoral Fellowship (with potential option for renewal for 2 years) – MIND Institute at the University of California, Davis School of Medicine. Available starting August-September 2021. The UC Davis ReCHARGE (Revisiting Childhood Autism Risks from Genetics and the Environment) project is seeking applicants with training in epidemiology, and/or developmental psychology or clinical child psychopathology to participate in the NIH-funded Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) project at UC Davis. The overall project is directed by Irva Hertz-Picciotto, Ph.D. with co-Principal Investigators, Julie Schweitzer, Ph.D. and Deborah Bennett, Ph.D. The fellow will be directly supervised by Drs. Julie Schweitzer and Marjorie Solomon.

This UC Davis ECHO ReCHARGE Study evaluates a cohort of children last seen at ages 2-5 years (baseline) to determine environmental chemical and non-chemical stressors and resiliency factors that are associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes at ages 8-12 years and 13-19 years. This project leverages the resources of the CHARGE Study, which, includes three groups: children with autism, other developmental delays and typically developing children. These 3 groups will be examined for: attention deficit or hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms; changes in cognitive or adaptive function; changes in severity and diagnosis; and symptoms of anxiety or depression.

This highly collaborative project involves psychologists, epidemiologists, environmental researchers, geneticists, pulmonologists and other researchers with expertise in studying the effects of the environment on neurodevelopment and child and adolescent health. The UC Davis team works collaboratively with 30+ other sites in the U.S. on the broader goals of the NIH ECHO project and thus the fellow will have an opportunity to learn from state-of-the-art research in child health from sites across the U.S. as well as learn about multi-site collaborations.

The primary exposures of interest are pesticides, metals, air pollution, phthalates, nutrients, neighborhood characteristics, and family factors. Additionally, three mechanistic studies will be conducted: an investigation of intergenerational epigenetic profiles; method development for metals analysis in dried blood spots; and sex specific associations of adrenal hormones with depressive symptoms. This project is unique in that it studies life course development in children with two different types of disabilities, and a novel model of adrenal hormone relationships with sex-specific affective disorders. The focus of the Post-Doctoral project will be related to data management and analysis, manuscript preparation, and publishing. Fellow’s with a background in developmental psychology will also have the role of ascertainment of psychological and neurodevelopmental functioning in the children and their parents. Trainees needing supervision hours to meet the requirements for clinical licensure will also have the opportunity to be supervised and accrue hours for psychology licensure.

We seek candidates with a strong research interest in epidemiology and childhood disorders such as Autism and ADHD. Ideal candidates would hold a PhD in epidemiology and/or clinical and developmental neuroscience. Qualified candidates with a clinical psychology background will have the option to perform assessment of children and adolescents with autism, other neurodevelopmental disorders, ADHD and emotional functioning. The individual will be housed at the UC Davis Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopment Disabilities (MIND) Institute, at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, CA. The MIND Institute is a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary, parent-initiated biomedical research center founded in 1998.

Review of applications will start immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Interested individuals should submit a single pdf file as the application including: 1) CV; 2) 1-2 page statement of previous research experience and career interests; 3) Contact information for 2-3 references.

The application should be e- mailed to Julie Schweitzer at jschweitzer@ucdavis.edu.

For further information e-mail Dr. Schweitzer. A Zoom appointment to discuss the position can also be arranged.

The Department of Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Boston invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position beginning September 1, 2022 with focus on issues of race and ethnicity from a developmental perspective (i.e., child, adolescent, or family systems focus).

We are seeking a colleague whose work aims to promote social justice and anti-racism through connections with psychological processes and healing. Examples of potential areas of focus include but are not limited to: developmental processes of racialization, including racial and ethnic identities; racial and anti-racist socialization within families; experiences with, effects of, or coping with and resistance to racism and discrimination for children and adolescents; mental health experiences and/or disparities related to race and culture in children and adolescents; community-based problem prevention and/or evidence-based clinical practice with racial and ethnic minority children and adolescents; family resilience processes; intergenerational family dynamics related to race and racism. Priority will be given to candidates whose work focuses on developmental clinical psychology within Latinx communities. However, candidates who focus on developmental clinical psychology within Black, Indigenous, Asian American, MENA, and other minoritized communities are also encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities include teaching and mentoring students within the undergraduate psychology major and within the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program, which has a scientist-practitioner-activist training model. Within the undergraduate major, teaching may include courses focused on racial issues and populations (e.g., existing courses such as “Race, Culture, and Relationships,” “Psychology and Social Justice,” “Psychology and the Black Experience,” “Asian American Psychology,” or developing new courses on areas such as Latinx, Indigenous, or MENA Psychology) and developmentally focused courses (e.g., “Adolescence,” “The Family and Child” or developing new courses in child or family experiences and/or the impact of child or family therapy with racialized populations). Within the Clinical Psychology Doctoral program, teaching may include core courses and elective doctoral courses consistent with the area of expertise such as family therapy, child assessment, or child therapy. Additional responsibilities include offering personalized learning opportunities, research mentoring, and advising to undergraduate and doctoral students; and contributing to service for the program, department, university, and Greater Boston communities.

Requirements for consideration include a Ph.D. in clinical psychology or a closely related field and clear evidence of excellence in (or potential for excellence in) both research and teaching.

We serve the most diverse student population in New England, with a majority of students of color; many of our students are from immigrant backgrounds, and/or are the first in their families to go to college.  Nine UMass Boston colleges and schools offer more than 80 undergraduate programs and 110 graduate programs to nearly 17,000 students. More than 50 interdisciplinary institutes and centers pursue research and public service in such areas as public policy; gerontology; media; labor; mentoring; women in politics; African American, Latinx, Asian American, and Native American issues; and environmental concerns.

Accredited by the American Psychologi­cal Association, the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program adopts a “scientist-practitio­ner-activist” model. We locate the scientist-practitioner model within a socio-cultural context, bringing to the study and practice of clinical psychology an understanding of social justice, equity, oppression, systems of privilege and marginalization, procedural and relational justice, and epistemological and methodological marginalization. Our program prepares clinical psychologists who have an excellent foundation in psychological science and can translate their basic knowledge into practical applications to meet the mental health needs of children, adolescents, and adults from diverse sociocultural groups.
