Description

Postdoctoral Research Scholar, Arizona State University, Department of Psychology

The Department of Psychology at Arizona State University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scholar to join the Arizona Twin Project (ATP) under the supervision of Drs. Mary Davis, Leah Doane, and Kathryn Lemery-Chalfant. The postdoctoral research scholar will join a large and cohesive team managing the longitudinal ATP that spans from infancy through adolescence. The diverse ATP is focused on longitudinal modeling of risk (e.g., early adversity, HPA axis, immune function, epigenetics, emotional dysregulation, neighborhood) and resilience processes (e.g., self-regulation, health behaviors, social relationships, family, community) for mental and physical health outcomes (e.g., internalizing and externalizing psychopathology, sleep, and chronic pain). Primary duties include staff supervision, data analysis, and writing empirical research papers. Strong professional development is provided (e.g., ethics, generative AI, teaching innovations, grant writing, faculty job applications). The ideal candidate will have expertise in behavior genetics, mental or physical health development, experience conducting research with community samples including adolescents, strong quantitative and writing abilities, as well as aspirations for a research-oriented career.

The position is full-time, fiscal-year (12-month), benefits-eligible appointments with no tenure implications. This position is 100% research. For clinical candidates, there are no built-in clinical hours, though gaining clinical hours for licensure may be possible through the clinics at ASU outside of your committed time in the postdoctoral position. Start date is flexible.
