Washington University in St. Louis NIMH T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship in Developmental Neuroscience and Child Psychopathology

This NIMH funded postdoctoral training fellowship is available to psychologists, neuroscientists, and both child and adult psychiatrists who are interested in conducting translational research on developmental neuroscience and child psychopathology, with a particular emphasis on early childhood. We will be recruiting at least two new trainees each year. The child psychopathology domains include, but are not limited to mood disorders, anxiety disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, ADHD, addiction, and psychosis. The training model for this fellowship focuses on interdisciplinary training, with trainees gaining expertise in both basic and clinical domains, including developmental psychopathology, developmental affective and cognitive neuroscience, genetics and developmental neuroimaging. Fellows will be mentored by Washington University faculty with international reputations in developmental psychology, clinical neuroscience, functional neuroimaging, psychiatric genetics. and cognitive and affective neuroscience.  Fellows will be involved in didactic training in core areas, professional development training, and most critically, both ongoing and newly developed translational research projects.  Washington University is an Affirmative Action Equal Opportunity Employer and encourages women, minorities, economically disadvantaged and person with disabilities to apply.  Applicants must have a Ph.D. or an M.D. and must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States.  Interested applications should submit a CV, 3 references, and a description of your research interests to either Deanna Barch (dbarch@artsci.wustl.edu) or Joan Luby (lubyj@psychiatry.wustl.edu).  Applications by email are preferred, but paper applications can be submitted to Dr. Deanna Barch, Child Psychopathology Postdoctoral Fellowship, Washington University, 660 South Euclid, Campus Box 8134, St. Louis, MO, 63110.  Applications will be considered on a rolling basis for a start date of after July 1, 2016.
