My lab @EmoryPsychology is recruiting up to *two* PhD students this year (translational-lab.com). Please RT 🔄 Apply through Clinical or Computational Cog Science, with the option to dual concentrate. More info here: docs.google.com/document/d/1d7…
An AI position in my department!
We invite applications for a full-time, tenure-eligible, or tenure-track faculty member to join our department in August 2025. The opening is part of a College of Arts & Sciences cluster hire dedicated to artificial intelligence (machine learning). psy.miami.edu/about-the-depa…
Are you a clinical psychologist interested in computational modeling? The Niv lab will be looking for a postdoc in computational psychiatry/psychotherapy and we are especially keen on people with a clinical background. Email me with CV & research statement if this is you!
And if you are looking for a postdoc position, come to Liberty A, Level 3 tomorrow 12:15-1:15! We have a postdoc opening: the first year would be mostly clinical (for the MA licensure hours) with 1 day research time and a second year with a possible choose your own research %!
Hello friends, peeps from my lab @HeyDuoo @SimonMLsml @ayxzhu @MingcongTang (and I) will be at @ABCTNOW this year presenting some really cool work! Come check out the presentations and stay to meet those superstars! #ABCT2024

It’s social media official! @VeraJVine and I are co-organizing the 1st ever SAS preconference on clinical affective science. 🙋♀️What’s clinical affective science? ✅The intersection of basic research on emotion with clinical science. 👍Sound like your thing? Join us in Portland!
The inaugural SAS preconference on Clinical Affective Science will explore the vibrant, emerging area of research at the intersection of affective & clinical science. We'll bring together scholars at all career stages to articulate the goals & boundaries of this growing subfield!
Looks like a phenomenal issue! Looking forward to reading through, and thrilled to have been part of it w/ this piece — on why a key focus in my lab is deriving powerful treatment principles. psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-40… (for access: translational-lab.com/publications)
