Please feel free to forward this announcement to those on your team or alumni who you believe might be interested in the position. Thank you for your time. Take care. Best wishes, Andres De Los Reyes, Ph.D. **************************************************************** Andres De Los Reyes, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Psychology Director, /Comprehensive Assessment and Intervention Program/ Associate Editor /Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology Journal of Child and Family Studies Journal of Psychopathology and Behavioral Assessment/ Department of Psychology University of Maryland at College Park Biology/Psychology Building, Room 3123H College Park, Maryland 20742 Phone: (301) 405-7049 Email: adlr(a)umd.edu <mailto:adlr@umd.edu> Web: sites.google.com/site/caipumaryland/Home/people/director **************************************************************** *Post-Doctoral Scholar Position, Comprehensive Assessment and Intervention Program,* *University of Maryland at College Park* _Laboratory Description:_ The Comprehensive Assessment and Intervention Program (CAIP) is a clinical research laboratory at the University of Maryland at College Park. Directed by Dr. Andres De Los Reyes, CAIP’s work seeks to improve the ability of mental health professionals to use clinical assessments to facilitate identification of the specific contexts in which children and adolescents express mental health concerns and their risk factors. With an emphasis on adolescent social anxiety and family environment factors linked to adolescent substance use, CAIP utilizes information from physiological, behavioral, and subjective modalities to develop and test personalized assessment approaches tailored to adolescents’ unique needs. The goal of this work is to identify and disseminate assessment approaches that inform the development of personalized intervention techniques for the amelioration and/or prevention of adolescent social anxiety and substance use. Our current work seeks to advance two lines of research. In one line of research, CAIP tests novel paradigms that facilitate clinical interpretation of peripheral physiology within assessments of adolescent social anxiety. Specifically, CAIP uses innovative methods for graphically representing physiological data, so that mental health professionals without a background in physiology can incorporate these methods into their clinical work. In a second line of research, CAIP tests methods for incorporating physiological data (e.g., HRV and EEG/ERP), controlled observations of family behavior, and informants' subjective reports of family functioning to identify adolescents at risk for substance use and abuse. To meet the objectives of these lines of research, we seek a post-doctoral scholar to assist in writing competitive extramural grant applications (e.g., NIH and NSF), preparing first-authored and co-authored scholarly manuscripts for publication, mentoring undergraduate and doctoral graduate students, and assisting in coordinating a multi-modal study of context-sensitive approaches to assessing adolescent social anxiety and family relationships. The CAIP laboratory is part of a larger research network that includes on-site access to multi-modal physiological equipment (e.g., EEG/ERP, HRV, and GSR). These resources are housed within the Department of Psychology’s NSF-funded Joint Center for Cognitive, Social, Computational and Mathematical Neuroscience. Further, resources for conducting fMRI assessments are available at the on-site Maryland Neuroimaging Center. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _Requirements:_ The ideal candidate will have had experience in collecting and processing EEG/ERP data with adolescents and/or young adults.
