The CCNC focuses on the psychosis spectrum, but also has studies on the autism spectrum, cannabis use, and other groups. Additionally, the role of adversity and trauma in these psychopathology spectra is a growing interest in the lab. The center is within the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington and is led by Drs. Krista Wisner, Alexandra Moussa-Tooks, & William Hetrick. Primary responsibilities of the CCNC Lab Manager includes recruiting participants, assessing symptoms and cognition, running participants through experimental paradigms and/or neuroimaging protocols, as well as maintaining research databases and IRB protocols. The successful applicant will join our vibrant and versatile lab team to help conduct investigations of cortical and cerebellar contributions to behavioral alterations in cognitive and affective processes (e.g., social decision-making, stress reactivity, interoception, proprioception, motor coordination, learning and memory). Methodologies currently employed include self-reports, interviews, cognitive testing, behavioral and motor tasks, psychophysiology, and magnetic resonance imaging (structural MRI, functional MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging, resting state functional connectivity, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy). This position is ideal for candidates interested in gaining hands-on experience and professional development before pursuing doctoral training in psychology, medicine, neuroscience, or a related field. The ideal applicant will have some prior exposure to clinical psychopathology, some prior experience with research, as well as be willing to commit to two years of employment in this position. The CCNC recognizes that scientific excellence is dependent on the diversity of the team, broadly construed, and therefore strongly welcomes applicants from individuals who add to the diversity of the CCNC.

University of Pittsburgh. Project Coordinator (Job Number 22008838)
Description - External
The incumbent will serve as a project coordinator for an NIH-funded research study. This coordination involves being in charge of training, work assignment, performance appraisal, and day-to-day supervision of full time research staff, students, and volunteers working with participants as part of the study. This study examines how normal differences between people relate to their heart health. There are two samples involved in the study. In the first sample, the goal is to determine whether daily life experiences, biological and social factors, lifestyle characteristics and behaviors, brain function, and brain structure relate to changes in heart health over time. In a second sample, the goal is to investigate whether a 12-month moderate intensity exercise program can improve heart and brain health. Staff and student efforts for both studies will involve scheduling and interviewing participants, training participants to self-monitor during daily life, and other data collection and data management efforts.
The incumbent will be in charge of coordinating and supervising all of these efforts, as well as adapting existing practices to address unique situations that arise on a day-to-day basis. The incumbent will also be in charge of some administrative support (for example, ordering supplies, tracking participant compliance, and scheduling) for this project. The incumbent will communicate directly with other research staff who have participant contact, and will make day-to-day decisions about how best to coordinate staffing efforts in order to meet project goals in consultation with the principal investigator. In addition to day-to-day coordination of participant data collection efforts by other staff and students, the incumbent will also directly work with participants in this study. In this capacity, the incumbent will schedule participants for research visits, will train participants to monitor their blood pressure, mood, and activities during daily life over the course of a week, and will be in charge of handling data quality issues with respect to the information collected.
Incumbent will assess clinic blood pressure, conduct interviews, and administer questionnaires with these participants. Incumbent will conduct telephone follow-up interviews with participants to ensure that they are following the research protocol, and will help keep records to ensure that training and data collection are occurring in a timely fashion. The incumbent will also be responsible for some data processing, management, and transcription as part of this project.

Brunel University London, Centre for Culture and Evolution (Funded PhD Studentship in The Psychology of Fertility Decline and Early Parenting. Project description: The Centre for Culture and Evolution at Brunel University London is offering a fully funded PhD studentship to study the changing cultural landscape of human reproduction. Fertility rates around the world are dropping. Reproductive issues are increasingly politicised, and modern migration, industrialization, and market integration have resulted in family structures and networks that are now very different from those common throughout human history. This project focuses on what these changes mean for reproductive choice and parenting experiences, and the role that our shifting social world plays in shaping these phenomena. Evolutionary and feminist perspectives will be applied to generate theory-driven predictions, and an idiographic approach will enable us to critically evaluate existing models. Studies may address: psychological processes involved in fertility decisions in comparison to risk/economic-based models; early years parenting challenges (0-5y) as influenced by family structure and mobility; and social judgements experienced by pregnant people and parents when their choices or behavior are publicly observable. Based in and funded by the College of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, this studentship offers a full-time annual London rate stipend estimated at £20,551 plus Home/EU tuition fees, for a maximum of 36 months. The start date will be 1 October 2023.
