University of Maryland, College Park, MD USA
Candidates are being considered for a NIH-funded
post-baccalaureate (study coordinator) position in the laboratory of Dr. Alex
Shackman in the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland at
College Park (http://shackmanlab.org/). The overarching mission of the lab is
to have a deep impact on the fields of affective and clinical/translational
neuroscience. To that end, we do our best to perform innovative studies that
can lead to significant discoveries, to disseminate our discoveries as widely
as possible, and to mentor trainees to become top-notch scientists. As part
of several recent NIH awards, the focus of this position will be to
support on-going projects aimed at understanding the neurobiology of fear and
anxiety and its role in the development and maintenance of adult anxiety
disorders, depression, and substance abuse. This position will provide
opportunities to gain experience with neuroimaging (fMRI), ecological momentary
assessment (EMA), and clinical assessment techniques. This is an exciting
opportunity for receiving top-notch mentorship and establishing a competitive
research record (publications, conference presentations) in preparation for
graduate school. This is a 1-year position that is renewable for a total of 2
years, contingent on performance and funding. Duties may include, but are not
limited to, subject recruitment and scheduling; data acquisition, processing,
and archiving; study/database management, and general lab administration.
Applicants should send a cover letter describing relevant experience and
interests, CV/resume, and 2-3 letters of reference to Dr. Shackman (shackman@umd.edu). Applicants will be
considered until the position is filled. The University of Maryland is an Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative-Action Employer. This is a fantastic opportunity to
live in and explore the DC, MD, and N VA area!
