Brock University welcomes applications from outstanding established scholars in the area of Healthy Development Across the Lifespan for consideration as a nominee to the 2026 Canada Excellence Research Chairs (CERC) competition.

The CERC program is one of Canada’s most prestigious and well-funded research initiatives, designed to help Canadian universities attract and retain the world’s top research talent. Successful nominees and their teams receive either $8 million or $4 million over eight years, depending on the nature and costs of the proposed research program.

The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Iowa invites applications from innovative and visionary psychological scientists and neuroscientists who are committed to the research, mentoring, and teaching missions of our department.

The Department of Human Development and Family Science (HDFS) at the University of Georgia is seeking applicants for the position of assistant or associate professor, with an anticipated start date of August 2026. We are looking for an individual with expertise in biobehavioral health across the lifespan. The ideal candidate’s research should focus broadly on understanding how biopsychosocial processes, across various stages of life and over multiple time scales, influence behavioral risk, aging, and disease decades later through changes in biological aging.

The Department of Human Development and Family Science (HDFS) at the University of Georgia is seeking applicants for the position of assistant or associate professor, with an anticipated start date of August 2025. We seek an individual with expertise in biobehavioral health across the lifespan. The ideal candidate’s research should focus on understanding how biopsychosocial processes, across various stages of life and over multiple time scales, influence behavioral risk, aging, and disease decades later through changes in biological aging. We are particularly interested in candidates who examine multiple levels of human development, including genomics, biomarkers, and phenotypic data. Preference will be given to candidates capable of running a wet lab to test for markers of stress biology, biological aging, inflammation, and/or gene expression in blood and saliva samples.
      Additionally, candidates who are open to collaborating with faculty focused on applied and developmental neuroscience—aimed at understanding the interplay between biological and environmental contributions to health and development—are strongly encouraged to apply. We aim to hire a faculty member who has potential or who is active in securing grants and can work collaboratively with faculty at the Georgia Center for Developmental Science (G-CDS), complementing existing expertise in advanced interdisciplinary developmental science aimed at enhancing resilience in disadvantaged communities. Expertise in the implementation of broadly defined AI methods is strongly encouraged.

The Cognition, Action, and Psychophysiology (CAP) Lab (https://kidcaplab.uconn.edu/, PI: Dr. Kimberly Cuevas) in the Department of Psychological Sciences, at the University of Connecticut, Waterbury Campus is seeking a full-time Research Assistant 1. The successful candidate will play an integral role in managing a NICHD-funded study investigating the development of neural oscillatory rhythms and self-regulatory processes across the first 4 postnatal years; Project BUBBLES (Babies: Understanding Brains and Baseline Longitudinal EEG Study). There will also be opportunities to assist with other lab-related research projects at UConn.

The Shuffrey Lab in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at NYU Grossman School of Medicine is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow. Dr. Lauren Shuffrey’s research program examines the impact of interactive prenatal maternal psychosocial and health factors on infant and early childhood brain-behavioral development. Our ongoing projects are primarily focused on the effects of prenatal maternal metabolic disorders, prenatal maternal mood disorders, and substance exposure on child brain-behavioral development from birth through early childhood. Our ultimate goal is to identify mechanisms, objective markers, and modifiable factors associated with resiliency in order to support families from pregnancy through early childhood. Research methodologies broadly include peripheral marker assays (e.g. immunoassays), electroencephalography (EEG), eye-tracking, and behavioral paradigms.

The Prenatal Stress Study at Michigan State University is seeking a full time Research Technologist to work in East Lansing, MI. The research project is funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Development and focuses on how the timing of prenatal stress affects later infant behavior and physiology, as well as the relationship between the mother and child. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, recruiting participants, training and supervising research assistants and staff, collaborating with University of Michigan partners, and maintaining quality control over data collection. In addition, the Research Technologist will be submitting IRB revisions, ordering supplies, shipping samples, and reimbursing participants.
