The Attention, Behavior and Sleep Lab is seeking motivated candidates
with interests in child and adolescents development, school psychology,
cognitive behavioral therapy and implementation science for a full- time
postdoctoral research position at the Douglas Research Center. The
fellowship is for 12 months with a possible second year appointment and
provides research and academic training as well as an opportunity to
mentor a range of junior trainees (e.g., undergraduate, masters, Ph.D.,
psychiatry residents).
Description
Several school-based sleep interventions are in different stages of
development through multiple projects.
The postdoctoral fellow 1) will lead the development of a platform that
will seek to integrate these interventions and develop an in-depth
understanding of factors affecting the tailoring and the transferability
of these interventions to additional contexts; 2) will participate in
the analyses of existing data related to the implementation processes of
such interventions; 3) will lead or participate in the development of
scientific papers related to empirical and theoretical issues pertaining
to the implementation of school-based sleep interventions; 4) coordinate
research activities and supervise research assistants and students as
needed for this project. The goal is to expand and enrich the
candidate’s knowledge of pediatric sleep, the development and
implementation of school-based interventions and the scientific method,
and to extend the candidate’s skills in conceptualizing and executing
analyses and writing manuscripts for publications in high impact
scientific journals.
Qualifications
Applicants must have a recent Ph.D. in a related discipline (e.g.,
Clinical or Health Psychology, Psychiatry, Educational or School
Psychology) and have a demonstrated record of experience in qualitative
and quantitative statistical methods. Applicants must also have a
demonstrated ability in preparing and publishing research papers. The
applicant should be interested in pursuing a career that focuses broadly
on the integration of developmental, clinical, and implementation sciences.
Environment
The position is to be held at the Douglas Research Center affiliated
with the Department of Psychiatry of McGill University and is funded
