New York University School of Medicine – BELLE Project
HRSA T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship in Primary Care Research The New York University School of Medicine is pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for our Fellowship in Primary Care Research beginning July 1, 2017. This is an interdisciplinary, two-year, HRSA T32-funded fellowship program that prepares individuals holding doctorates (MD, PhD) to become leaders in primary care translational research. The fellowship confers a Master’s of Science in Clinical Investigation degree upon successful completion of program requirements. The fellowship is especially relevant for individuals with a doctorate in a field related to early child development (e.g., developmental psychology, early childhood education) as it provides an opportunity to learn about the application of developmental principles within a real-world health care environment. The Division of Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics, within the Department of Pediatrics, is nationally recognized for its research focusing on poverty-related disparities in early child development and school readiness. The postdoctoral candidate for this position would join the Bellevue Project for Early Language, Literacy, and Education Success (BELLE Project), directed by Alan Mendelsohn, MD. This laboratory is dedicated in part to developing and evaluating interventions aimed at promoting parent-child interactions to enhance school readiness in low-income children. Our multidisciplinary team of researchers brings together experts from a wide range of fields, including developmental psychology and education, in collaboration with clinical experts in fields such as general and developmental-behavioral pediatrics, to investigate the role of pediatric primary health care as a universal-platform for population-scaleable preventive interventions to enhance responsive parenting. Additional details about our research and publications can be found at belle.med.nyu.edu. In the innovative Masters of Science degree program, fellows develop content mastery through courses including Research Methods, Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Health Services Research, Medical Informatics, Clinical Trial Design, and Grant Writing. Fellows participate in Research in Progress seminars, Journal Clubs, and Integrative Seminars. There are substantial opportunities for mentored research leading to presentations at local and national meetings, manuscripts for publication, and grant applications, as well as opportunities for collaborations with researchers and community partners at NYU / NYU School of Medicine and elsewhere. Fellows will receive a stipend and a complete benefits package. Full tuition is covered for the Masters of Science degree program, along with an allowance for books, travel, and other related program expenses. Initial inquiries should be emailed to Caitlin Canfield, PhD ([email protected]), and should include a CV and cover letter. Please write “T32 Fellowship Application” in the subject line. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled. Note that Spanish proficiency is desirable but not required.

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, with Drs. Laurie Wideman in the Department of Kinesiology, Dr. Susan Calkins Human Development and Family Studies, Dr. Lenka Shriver Nutrition, Dr. Susan Keane Psychology and Dr. Lilly Shanahan, University of Zurich, Psychology We anticipate hiring a postdoctoral research associate to work on an NICHD funded study investigating the developmental origins of adolescent cardiovascular risk. We are following a diverse sample of 250-300 adolescents who have been involved in our research program since they were children (starting at age 2). The primary goals of our work are 1) to examine whether biological, emotional, and behavioral self-regulation in childhood predicts cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., obesity, metabolic syndrome, elevated inflammation) in adolescence, and 2) to test whether health behaviors (e.g., exercise, nutrition, sleep, and substance use) mediate these pathways. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in developmental, health, quantitative, or clinical Psychology or a closely related field by the position start date and demonstrate a strong research background with excellent data management skills. Extensive experience with longitudinal data analysis and substantive interests in childhood self-regulation, health behaviors, and health outcomes from a developmental-interdisciplinary perspective is desired. Preference will be given to individuals who have prior experience with physiological data (e.g., heart rate variability/RSA, biomarkers of metabolic syndrome, biomarkers of elevated inflammation). The ideal candidate also has experience with statistical packages that handle missing data and multilevel data (e.g., MPlus, SAS, R), and has the ability to teach statistical methods to others. Excellent skills in interpreting, visualizing, and communicating results from longitudinal analyses are required. The postdoctoral research associate will primarily be responsible for overseeing data management and analysis efforts and for writing scientific papers. S/he will work closely with the investigative team and will have the opportunity to participate in and take the lead on publications using data from this and other related projects. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Please send your application or direct any questions to: Drs. Laurie Wideman and Susan Calkins ([email protected]; [email protected]) Application materials should include a 1-2 page statement of research interests, a CV, and contact information for three references |
