Lab Staff
We are seeking to fill two full-time positions, one primarily focused on data collection with pregnant individuals and the other as data manager for the lab. If you are interested, please email Dr. Humphreys and include a CV.
We are reviewing applications for Undergraduate Research Assistants
We anticipate openings for RA application for the Spring, check back in late November for more information. For any questions, please reach out to the lab manager, Jessica Feller.
Postdoctoral Fellows
Dr. Humphreys is looking for postdoctoral scholars with expertise in programming, longitudinal MRI analyses, and/or attachment relationships to join existing projects. She is also open to sponsoring applicants for funding through the department's T32 program in Developmental Psychopathology or in seeking F32 funding through NIH (or equivalent through NSF). If interested, please email Dr. Humphreys and include a CV.
For Potential Graduate Students
Dr. Humphreys plans to review applications for the Clinical Science (Department of Psychology) and Educational Neuroscience (Vanderbilt Brain Institute) programs (and not Developmental Science this year). Presently, our lab is focused on data collection with pregnant individuals/partners, infants, young children, and their families, with an emphasis on changes in brain structure and function and how experiences such as stress may influence these changes.
The ideal candidates for our lab are those who have:
1. An interest in studying mental health in pregnant individuals and/or infants/young children.
2. Strong programming (e.g., Python) and/or neuroimaging skills (e.g., processing and analysis of structural, diffusion, and resting-state functional MRI).
3. Plans to pursue a career as a researcher/scientist.
Candidates who have spent one or more years working full-time as a research coordinator or data analyst may have a better understanding of what it's like to be in a research-intensive environment. Those applying straight from undergraduate studies might not have the type of experience that is most relevant to the environment in our lab.
Additionally, graduate students who are most likely to succeed in the lab demonstrate strong independent problem-solving abilities, persistence, and flexibility.
