Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Associate
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.

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; weencourage 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.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Associate – Hurst Lab
The Quantitative Development Lab (Quad Lab), under the direction of Dr. Michelle Hurst (https://hurstmichelle.github.io/) is seeking applications for a postdoctoral researcher. The Quad Lab investigates how people track and use quantitative information in their environment and how our strategies vary systematically across contexts and development. To address these questions, we do experimental empirical research with babies, children, and adults – both online and in person – and use mathematical and computational models.
The postdoc will be primarily working on an NICHD funded research project investigating the development of proportional reasoning strategies (see grant summary on the NIH RePORTER: https://reporter.nih.gov/search/yxqmbFydZkuHiIKKkoS0LA/project-details/10912965). The postdoc can also develop new studies in collaboration with the PI and other lab members/collaborators. The postdoc will also be encouraged to submit a postdoctoral/training grant, based on their eligibility and interest (e.g., NIH F32, Spencer Award).
Finally, the postdoc will play a substantial role in the development of our (new) research lab, which started in September 2023. This will involve working with the PI to create lab protocols and policies, mentoring students and research assistants, and general lab management duties. This experience may be particularly well suited for a highly motivated and independent scholar who is interested in pursuing an academic research career.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Post-doctoral Associate
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join the Max Tischfield lab. Our research revolves around two key areas: (1) understanding circuit mechanisms and the neuropathogenesis of Tourette syndrome and related conditions (OCD, ADHD, ASD) using genetic mouse models; (2) the development and functions of brain waste clearance systems, specifically understanding the development, integration, and maintenance of meningeal lymphatic vessels with the glymphatic system. Applicants have the opportunity to work in EITHER focus area, but we are especially interested in candidates who wish to work in the field of Tourette’s and related neurodevelopmental/neuropsychiatric conditions. We have engineered seven novel mouse models expressing human mutations in high confidence Tourette genes. Current projects involve studying the effects on cortico-striatal signaling, dopamine dysregulation, and how cholinergic interneurons affect these processes. Our lab combines multiple approaches including human/mouse genetics, mouse behavior and operant conditioning, slice patch clamp electrophysiology, in vivo imaging, and computer vision as part of a collaborative, multi-PI team setting.
About Rutgers University, New Jersey, United States – Official Website
Rutgers University formally known as Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is a public land-grant research university based in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Chartered in 1766, Rutgers was originally called Queen’s College. It is the eighth-oldest college in the United States, the second-oldest in New Jersey (after Princeton University), and one of the nine U.S. colonial colleges that were chartered before the American War of Independence. In 1825, Queen’s College was renamed Rutgers College in honor of Colonel Henry Rutgers, whose substantial gift to the school had stabilized its finances during a period of uncertainty. For most of its existence, Rutgers was a private liberal arts college but it has evolved into a coeducational public research university after being designated The State University of New Jersey by the New Jersey Legislature via laws enacted in 1945 and 1956.
Rutgers today has three distinct campuses, located in New Brunswick (including grounds in adjacent Piscataway), Newark, and Camden. The university has additional facilities elsewhere in the state, including oceanographic research facilities at the New Jersey shore. Rutgers is also a land-grant university, a sea-grant university, and the largest university in the state. Instruction is offered by 9,000 faculty members in 175 academic departments to over 45,000 undergraduate students and more than 20,000 graduate and professional students. The university is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and is a member of the Big Ten Academic Alliance, the Association of American Universities and the Universities Research Association. Over the years, Rutgers has been considered a Public Ivy.
