Job Summary

Applications are invited for position of Postdoctoral Research Associate to work with Dr. Bridgette Kelleher in the Purdue University Department of Psychological Sciences. Dr. Kelleher's research uses telehealth-based methods to assess early development of children at risk for a variety of health outcomes, including autism. The candidate's primary role will be to support dissemination from the first wave of Dr. Kelleher's PANDABox project (Parent Assisted NeuroDevelopmental Assessment). PANDABox is a NIH-funded, open science protocol for remotely collecting laboratory-grade data from children at risk for atypical development via telehealth. Dr. Kelleher's team recently used PANDABox to longitudinally track early development of children with neurogenetic syndromes using a variety of methods, including clinical, behavioral, and spectral techniques (e.g. heart rate defined sustained attention, EEG). Since the start of this project, the PANDABox user base has grown substantially, and the protocol is now being used by a variety of teams at Purdue and beyond, both to map early developmental phenotypes and as an outcome measure for treatment. Now, Kelleher is seeking to partner with a postdoctoral scholar interested in supervising the dissemination of data from this project.

Job Responsibilities

The postdoctoral scholar will be an expert in clinical assessment, developmental science, biostatistics, and/or implementation science and able to effectively lead and execute manuscript development pipelines. The postdoctoral scholar will lead dissemination of several major papers from the PANDABox project, including by supporting junior trainees in the coding, writing, and analysis process. The scholar will also support open access of PANDABox by administratively supporting an open science hub the Kelleher team is developing to support cross-site collaboration across PANDABox sites. The candidate will have sufficient expertise to independently draft manuscripts and analyze longitudinal data with support from the PI. It is anticipated that 50% of the candidate's time will be devoting to writing and data analysis, and 50% to project management, administrative tasks, professional development, lab meetings, and mentoring junior scientists.

Clinicians evaluate the impact of treatment on patients’ symptoms and functioning using standardized assessment measures and provide feedback to patients and families on their progress.

This postdoctoral fellowship concentration takes place within the Dell Children’s Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics service, a specialty outpatient clinic that provides diagnostic evaluations, consultation, and therapeutic interventions for children with developmental and behavioral concerns. Primary referral concerns typically include autism, developmental delay, ADHD and follow-up for infants and children up to age 14 who are at risk for or demonstrating developmental delays.

This program collaborates with speech therapists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists from Dell Children’s Rehabilitative Services, in addition to the psychological services through the Texas Child Study Center. Postdoctoral fellows work as part of an interdisciplinary team to offer a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and monitoring of children with neurobehavioral conditions such as ADHD, autism, speech/language disorders, dyspraxia and developmental delay. The clinic also provides developmental follow-up for NICU graduates and children with Down Syndrome.

Fellows will also learn to use evidence-based interventions, including Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), as well as cognitive-behavioral interventions for children and their families. They receive live supervision and see preschool and school-age children presenting neurodevelopmental disabilities and co-occurring internalizing or externalizing disorders. In addition to training to provide these interventions, fellows are also expected to engage in collaborative clinical practice and interdisciplinary training with medical residents on rotation.

This fellowship program primarily provides services at DCMC and is housed within the Division of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School. The training program was formerly known as Texas Child Study Center (TCSC), which has now become a clinic within the larger training program. TCSC was created to provide pediatric mental health services and training for future clinicians in the Central Texas region and has grown exponentially to now be the primary outpatient mental health clinic at DCMC, serving the larger Austin, TX area.

Applicants must have a doctoral degree in clinical, school, or counseling psychology from an APA-accredited program and have completed an approved internship before the fellowship starts. Given the program’s clinical emphasis, training and experience in providing clinical services to individuals with developmental disabilities, particularly autistic individuals, is required.

A fully completed application includes:
1. A letter of interest indicating the preferred training concentration, specific training goals and interests, and eligibility for post-doctoral fellowship (i.e. APA accredited internship completion date, dissertation status)
2. Curriculum Vitae
3. Three letters of reference.

Completed application (LOI and CV) materials should be submitted in one PDF to our secure UT Box via this link (http://links.utexas.edu/crrkhkw).
