The BRIDGE Lab studies how genetic alterations affect brain development and neuropsychiatric conditions in children. Our goal is to identify targets for medical interventions through clinical research. We are committed to translational work that deepens our understanding of the brain and improves outcomes for children with neuropsychiatric conditions.

We are recruiting a postdoctoral scholar with specialized training in neuropsychology and/or developmental psychology to join our multidisciplinary research team. You will function as an integral member of a collaborative team working at the intersection of translational neuroscience, clinical phenotyping, and advanced neuroimaging methodologies. Neuropsychological data will be integrated with multimodal imaging findings and basic science investigations to elucidate brain-behavior relationships and inform evidence-based interventions for pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders.

Key Responsibilities:

Research Activities

  • Design and implement neuropsychological and developmental research protocols for pediatric populations with neurodevelopmental conditions
  • Facilitating practice and behavioral preparation for MRI scans with participants, as well as with MRI data collection
  • Conduct comprehensive tele-delivered and in-person neuropsychological and developmental assessments with children and adolescents
  • Integrate neuropsychological data with neuroimaging findings to investigate brain-behavior relationships
  • Analyze complex datasets combining behavioral, cognitive, and neuroimaging data
  • Collaborate with psychiatrists, radiologists, biostatisticians, and other team members

Clinical Contributions

  • Write neuropsychological evaluation reports for research participants as appropriate
  • Provide tiered supervision of doctoral-level Clinical Psychology trainees
  • Participate in weekly supervision with a licensed clinical psychologist
  • Supervise undergraduate and graduate research assistants
Required Qualifications: 
  • Doctoral degree (PhD or PsyD) in Clinical Psychology, Developmental Psychology, or related field from an APA-accredited program
  • Expertise in pediatric neuropsychological and/or developmental assessment
  • Strong foundation in neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly experience with populations such as RASopathies, autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or other genetic syndromes
  • Strong research methodology and statistical analysis skills
  • Excellent written and oral communication abilities, as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience integrating neuropsychological assessment with brain imaging data (e.g., functional MRI, structural MRI, EEG)
  • Proficiency with neuroimaging analysis software or electrophysiological data processing
  • Experience conducting clinical trials or intervention research in pediatric populations
  • Training in evidence-based interventions for children and adolescents
Required Application Materials: 
  • CV
  • Cover letter
