_Postdoctoral Fellowship in Mood Disorders Research at Temple University_
_Â _
Â
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW position is available in the Mood and Cognition
Laboratory in the Department of Psychology at Temple University under
the direction of Lauren B. Alloy, Ph.D., pending funding  The
fellowship will involve working on three funded NIMH R01 prospective,
longitudinal projects on first onset and course of bipolar spectrum
disorders in adolescents/emerging adults, and first onset of depression
and emergence of gender differences in depression in adolescents,
respectively. The two bipolar projects involve an integration of
reward hypersensitivity and social and circadian rhythm dysregulation
perspectives and include diagnostic, life stress, behavioral and
neuroimaging data, as well as EMA methods and dim light melatonin onset
procedures. The adolescent depression project involves an integration
of cognitive vulnerability â stress models of depression with
psychoneuroimmunology and includes diagnostic, behavioral, cognitive,
executive functioning, life stress and stress challenge task, childhood
adversity, cortisol, and cytokine data.Â
Â
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology or a related field
as well as experience with mood disorders research and working with
adolescents. Experience in any of the following areas: conducting
structured diagnostic (e.g., K-SADS, SADS-L, SCID) and/or life stress
interviews, neuroimaging (fMRI/DTI), psychoneuroimmunology, reward
processing, circadian and social rhythms, and/or developmental
psychopathology would be particularly relevant. Knowledge and
experience with advanced statistical techniques, such as MLM, SEM,
growth curve modeling, survival analysis, etc. and database management
software is also desirable. Duties will include sharing participation
in laboratory administration, collaboration in setting, training, and
oversight of project staff activities, training new interviewers on
diagnostic assessments and providing feedback to interviewers, data
management, analysis, and manuscript preparation. Publication
opportunities and collaborative research opportunities are very
plentiful and encouraged. The fellow will also have opportunities to
provide mentorship and collaborate with doctoral students and to
supervise post-BA and undergraduate research projects. The
postdoctoral fellowship may be renewable for up to several additional
years based on job performance and funding availability, by mutual
agreement. The position is available immediately although the specific
start date is negotiable. To apply for this position, please send a
curriculum vita, cover letter describing research interest and
experience, and have three letters of recommendation sent via email to
