This laboratory is part of the Autism Center of Excellence (ACE) Infant Brain Imaging Study (IBIS) Network. Post-doctoral trainees will be part of an inter-disciplinary NIH T32 research training program in neurodevelopmental disorders at the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities. This T32 post-doctoral research training program begins in July 2017. Positions are for two years, subject to successful review during the first year; stipend levels follow NIH guidelines. NIH-funded postdoctoral positions are restricted to US citizens and permanent residents only. Deadline for applications is May 1, 2017.

Linda Smith, Chen Yu, and David Crandall are inviting applications for
post-doctoral research fellowships at Indiana University. We are seeking ambitious young researchers to join us in the study of early visual environments and egocentric vision, especially as they relate to the development of visual object recognition and early object name learning. We have a collected over 500 hours of home head camera (and audio) data in infants from 3 weeks to 24 months to understand the statistical structure of natural visual environments and how they change with development. There are important open questions in low level and high level visual statistics, object name correspondences, and experiences of specific object categories such as faces, hands, people, and objects. Please see www.iub.edu/~cogdev for recent work on this project. We have funds to hire two fellows who could define their own projects (including new data collection) depending on their area of expertise and interests. Applicants with interests in early object name learning, visual and perceptual development, the role of sensory-motor development in perception, visual object recognition, natural visual statistics, machine learning, machine vision and egocentric vision are invited to apply. Indiana University Bloomington provides a strong intellectual environment of collaboration across disciplines and applicants will receive substantive career mentoring and support for independent research and professional development. This postdoc position is for 2-3 years dependent on yearly evaluations. How to apply: Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until filled. Please email: a cover letter including a 1-2 page statement of research interests, a CV and contact details for 3 referees. Reference letters may be requested for short-listed applicants. Please also attach up to 3 representative publications or manuscripts. Send applications to: Charlotte Wozniak, [email protected]. Please put Homeview/Egocentric Vision Post-docs in the subject line.

Applications are invited for a 3.5-year, full time postdoctoral position with Dr. Kami Koldewyn in the Developmental Social Vision lab in the School of Psychology at Bangor University (Wales, UK). The post is part of a European Research Council funded Starting Grant focused on Developmental Social Neuroscience. The project, ‘Becoming Social’, investigates developmental change in social perception, social learning and the social brain in late-childhood/early adolescence.
The successful applicant will be the coordinator of the first major research stream of the Becoming Social project, which focuses on understanding the typical adult system and developing tasks and methods that will be applied throughout the five-year project in the longitudinal developmental streams. Methods used may include behavioural, eye-tracking and neuroimaging (e.g. fMRI, DWI) measures and the postdoctoral researcher who fills this post will be very involved, both conceptually and technically, in the design and construction of research questions and the tasks to address them. Duties will include working to develop tasks and materials that will be used across the entire project (including not only typical adults but children/adolescents aged 9-16 both with and without an Autism Spectrum Disorder). The postdoctoral researcher will be a key member of the Becoming Social team and will work closely with other team members. A PhD or equivalent in a relevant field (e.g., Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Biomedical Imaging/Engineering or Computer Science), as well as outstanding written and spoken communication skills are essential. In addition, this particular post requires significant technical and/or neuroimaging abilities. The successful candidate needs to be comfortable with tackling new imaging and analysis methods and have the technical chops to do so. Closing date for applications: 10th April, 2017. Proposed start date: Between May 1st and July 1st 2017 (though exact timing is flexible for the right candidate).

As part of this grant we will be identifying the critical dimensions for understanding guided play, and designing and implementing experiments and interventions to test the effectiveness of variants of active learning through guided play. Applications are particularly welcome from researchers interested in play and/or creativity. This position has a 1-year minimum, with the possibility of extending to 2 years. The anticipated start date is August 2017. As the project manager, the post-doctoral fellow will be expected to participate at all levels of the projects. The responsibilities include:

Vladimir Sloutsky -- Vladimir M. Sloutsky Professor Department of Psychology Call for Papers: School Psychology Quarterly® Grief and Loss in Children and Adolescents Dear Dr. Winsler, Your article, “Sleepless in Fairfax: The difference one more hour of sleep can make for teen hopelessness, suicidal ideation, and substance use.,” recently published in Journal of Youth and Adolescence, is in the topical area we cover in School Psychology Quarterly®. As an author in this field, you are invited to submit a manuscript to an upcoming special topic section devoted to issues faced by children who experience loss. The special section will be edited by David J. Schonfeld and Thomas Demaria, and is slated to appear in the first issue of 2018. Manuscripts are due by July 1, 2017. We are particularly interested in receiving empirical studies on the nature and correlates associated with grief and loss, as well as novel methods and programs when working with children and/or school personnel, many of whom may be reluctant to approach grieving youth for fear of increasing their distress. Examples of appropriate manuscripts include (but are not limited to):
Please direct all inquiries to David J. Schonfeld ([email protected]) or Thomas Demaria ([email protected]). For more information on the journal, and to view the full call for papers, please visit http://on.apa.org/2noccv8. We hope you will submit your manuscript for review by School Psychology Quarterly®. Best Regards, Rich Gilman, PhD Editor, School Psychology Quarterly® I am writing to inform you about the first annual Social-Emotional Competence Assessment Design Challenge hosted by the work group for Establishing Practical Social-Emotional Competence Assessments of Preschool to High School students. The work group will award up to $5,000 for innovative direct assessments of social-emotional skills. Winners will also receive public recognition (featured pieces in blogs, websites, and other media outlets) and inclusion in a professional network dedicated to advancing SE assessment.
We hope you will distribute this message broadly to people who are interested in promoting and assessing the social and emotional competence of preschool to high school students. If you or your collaborators are working on an assessment, even one in its early stages, I hope that you will submit it for consideration. A 5 page proposal narrative and assessment prototype are due April 20, 2017 by 11:59 p.m. ET. The attached call for submissions explains the review criteria and submission requirements. The aim of the design challenge is to stimulate the development and use of practical social-emotional competence assessments that support effective instruction and positive student development. You can help us broaden our reach to potential applicants by sharing this call for submissions with your networks. If you have questions about this exciting opportunity, please contact Lindsay Read at [email protected] or 312.690.5821. Thank you! Craig |
