Our lab has an opening for a postdoc fellow!
This is an opportunity to receive research training with our collaborative and supportive interdisciplinary team of neuroscientists, engineers, psychologists, social workers, physicians, and clinical researchers. The postdoctoral fellow will be supervised by Dr. Nili Solomonov, a psychotherapy researcher and a clinical psychologist. Our lab focuses on identification of neurobiological and clinical mechanisms of action in psychotherapies for mid/late-life depression and suicidality as well as perinatal mood disorders. We leverage mechanistic insights to develop personalized and scalable psychotherapies for underserved, understudied communities.
This position is ideal for a candidate who is interested in pursuing an academic career and has experience in neuroimaging methods and/or computational and statistical methods, ideally following graduation from a clinical psychology, neuroscience, computer science or engineering program.
