Postdoctoral Fellowship in Child
Neurodevelopment
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellowship position at The Eunice Kennedy Shriver Center at
UMass Chan Medical School. The post-doc will work directly with two Principal Investigators, Drs. Sarabeth Broder-Fingert and Sohye Kim, as
well as other prominent faculty within the Shriver Center including CANDI Co-Directors, Drs. Jean Frazier and David Kennedy.
This
post-doc will work on projects related to NIH-funded efforts and will support investigations using EEG, developmental assessments, in the
study of child development.
Dr. Broder-Fingert is currently Deputy Director of the Shriver Center and Vice Chair for Research in
Pediatrics. Dr. Broder-Fingert is the PI of several studies assessment innovations in early autism diagnosis and treatment. Studies include
novel treatments for very young children with concerns for autism, health equity initiatives in improve access to services, and studies
assessing novel technology for use in autism diagnosis.
Dr. Kim leads the Baby Brain Study which is a longitudinal study of brain
development in the first year of life using infant MRI and mother-infant fNIRS hyperscanning. The study involves close interactions with
mothers and infants from delivery to 12 months and will enroll at-risk mother-infant dyads (e.g., mothers with perinatal depression, infants
who are at risk for autism). Sensitivity (or past experience) in interacting with vulnerable populations (e.g., pregnant/postpartum women
and infants) and at-risk families is critical. The study will provide in-depth experience in innovative infant neuroimaging methods and will
offer opportunities to develop novel analytic methods for fNIRS hyperscanning/infant MRI to establish best practices in the field of infant
neuroimaging.
Strong applicants will have experience with autism assessment, particular preference will be given to individuals
who are research reliable in the ADOS. A successful applicant must have excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Appointments will
be made for one year, with a second year re-appointment expected based on review of the fellows progress. Fellowships will be available for
start dates as early as January 1, 2024 although there is flexibility. The current stipend for first year fellows is commensurate with the
standard National Institutes of Health rate and includes eligibility for benefits.
Interested applicants should submit a letter of
interest, CV, and list of three references to: Sarabeth Broder-Fingert [email protected] and Sohye Kim at [email protected].
