Research Associate I, Psychological - Newark, United States - University of Delaware
Description
Pay Grade: 28N
Job context
The Connectomics of Anxiety and Depression (CAD) Lab is housed in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Delaware. The lab is headed by Dr. Jeffrey Spielberg, Principal Investigator (PI). Relevant research in the lab seeks to identify and understand the manner in which brain connections become disturbed in pathological anxiety (e.g., panic, PTSD, worry), with a particular focus on the circuitry supporting motivation and executive function. We examine these circuits in both healthy and at-risk adolescents, with the aim of identifying neuromaturational changes that give rise to the increased risk for anxiety observed in adolescence. In this work, we are particularly interested in the contribution of pubertal factors (e.g., testosterone) and how related individual differences may place kids at greater risk for pathology.Under the general direction of the Principal Investigator, the Research Associate I will oversee the management of IRB protocols, organizing data collection efforts, running participants through clinical assessments and MRI sessions, processing and scoring data, and monitoring the quality of data collection, among other research-related activities.The position is temporary and may be renewed on a 12-month basis, dependent upon available funding and performance. The position is ideal for motivated individuals interested in applying to graduate school in psychology or neuroscience in the future, as it will offer the opportunity for mentored research projects and developing manuscripts for publication. Ultimately, a 2-year commitment is strongly preferred.
