| Posting Summary |
The
Center for Youth Social Emotional Wellness (
CYSEW) in the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (
GSAPP) at
Rutgers University-New Brunswick invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship position; start date is flexible. The mission of the
CYSEW is to promote youth mental health equity; defined as the right to access quality mental health care regardless of the individual's race, ethnicity, linguistic literacy/proficiency, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, disability status, or geographical location. Center faculty work with youth of all ages but consistent with the
Rutgers Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (
RYBHI) which led to the creation of
CYSEW, have particular passion and expertise for promoting positive mental health and wellness for adolescents and emerging adults.
Under the umbrella of mental health equity, postdoctoral fellows may have an interest in the integration of mental health care into school and primary care settings to increase access to evidence-based care and the development/implementation of brief and resource efficient mental health interventions to facilitate widespread adoption.
CYSEW faculty have on-going prevention and intervention studies focused on evaluating school-based interventions for
ADHD under real world conditions (i.e., effectiveness trial) using technology (e.g., brief online intervention and virtual reality) to make it possible to scale up evidence-based programs that address
ADHD symptoms and alcohol/substance use problems. Faculty conduct school- and community-engaged research with the needs of the community driving the
CYSEW research agenda.
Postdoctoral fellows in this position will have access to longitudinal and treatment outcome datasets to publish from and will collaborate with faculty on grant proposals. Applicants will ideally have strong analytic/statistical skills in order to take full advantage of these opportunities. Applicants should have expertise with mental health assessment, including using semi-structured diagnostic interviews to diagnose
ADHD and common comorbid conditions. Importantly, 50% effort will be protected time for publication and grant writing and fellows will have the opportunity to write grants to support their own programs of research. The other 50% effort will be devoted to implementing and supervising
ADHD evaluations and delivering the Accessing Campus Connections and Empowering Student Success (
ACCESS) program to Rutgers college students so that the fellow can gain hours towards licensure. This is a one-year position with the opportunity to continue for second year depending on the fellow's performance and funding.
Rutgers is a leading national public research university with more than 69,000 undergraduate and graduate students and 13,000 faculty and staff. Rutgers is designated as a Research-1 (R1) university, with extramural awards totaling over $900 million and is the #1 public university in the state of New Jersey.
GSAPP is nationally recognized and ranked for its excellence in the education and training of professional psychologists and the clinical research of its faculty. The postdoctoral fellow will benefit from established links between
CYSEW and GSAPP's Clinical, School and Applied Psychology Departments and with the
Rutgers Addiction Research Center and the Brandt Center.
Rutgers and
GSAPP are committed to
equity, inclusion, and supporting diversity across the school and faculty across all dimensions of diverse identities and circumstances; we
encourage applications from all competitive applicants, with attention to encouragement of applicants from under-represented groups. Applicants should have a doctorate in Clinical or School Psychology, or a closely related field at the time the fellowship starts. Salary and benefits are consistent with
NIH guidelines. New Brunswick, NJ is 30 minutes from Newark, NJ and less than 1.5 hours from both Philadelphia and New York City. Rutgers is one of the largest providers of behavioral mental health care services in the country and through the
RYBHI is committed to transforming youth mental health care in New Jersey and nationwide. |
