ISDP 2022 Hybrid: 55th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Developmental Psychobiology – Abstracts of Oral and Poster Presentations
The Shuffrey Lab in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at NYU Grossman School of Medicine is recruiting a laboratory manager, research assistant, and postdoctoral fellow. Dr. Lauren Shuffrey’s research program examines the role of the prenatal environment on vulnerability for both perinatal maternal mental health concerns and child neurodevelopmental disorders in order to identify mechanisms, objective markers, and modifiable factors associated with resiliency. Dr. Shuffrey’s 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. Research methodologies broadly include peripheral marker assays (e.g. immunoassays), electroencephalography (EEG), eye-tracking, and behavioral paradigms.

Diversifying the Pipeline: Addressing Structural Issues with Structural Interventions
Dr. Norissa Williams holds a doctorate in psychology, a masters in social work and is the CEO of Liberation RPI. Liberation RPI partners with organizations to achieve the aims of liberation through developing their capacity to be anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and develop cultural competence. She accomplishes this through the provision of trainings, needs assessments, strategic action planning, program implementation, facilitation, moderation, coaching and general consultation. Her scholarship relates to culturally embedded processes of coping socialization, cross cultural differences in mental health help-seeking behaviors, critical consciousness development, decolonizing and liberating pedagogical and clinical practices, as well as anti-racist/anti-oppressive practices in organizational contexts.
Calibration & Recalibration or Continual Adjustment? Megan R. Gunner, Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota
The Temperament Lab, directed by Maria (Masha) Gartstein at the Washington State University (WSU):https://labs.wsu.edu/infant-temperament/ is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to lead coordination of multi-site longitudinal study recently funded by a 5-year award from the National Institutes of Health.
The position involves working with project staff at WSU and the other two sites: (1) the Cognition, Affect, and Psychophysiology Lab (The CAP Lab) at Virginia Tech, directed by Martha Ann Bell, https://support.psyc.vt.edu/labs/caplab; and (2) the Wave Lab at Florida Atlantic University, directed by Nancy Jones, http://www.psy.fau.edu/waveslab/index.php. The project entails collecting data from infants and their mothers starting at 2 months of age. Infant electroencephalogram (EEG) data will be collected bimonthly from 6 to 18 months, with emerging anxiety assessed at 24 months. Mother report and behavioral observations of temperament (approach/avoidance tendencies in particular) will be obtained as well, with mother-infant interactions observed in distress and non-distress context.
The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for overseeing research activities and assisting with cross-site coordination. Prior experience with EEG data collection and processing is preferred but not required. This is a full-time position with benefits.
Ph.D. required by position start date, preferably in Developmental Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Behavioral Neuroscience, or related field. Strong organizational and interpersonal skills are essential.
The position start date is flexible, with a preferred start date in August of 2023. Please send CV and letter of interest to Masha Gartstein: [email protected].
