inpatient setting. In particular, we are hiring for projects focused on the identification
of novel risk factors for suicidal ideation and behavior using laboratory-based behavioral
and physiological assessments, smartphone technology, brain
imaging, EEG, and the analysis of speech patterns (Michael Armey, Ph.D., Heather Schatten,
Ph.D., & Ivan Miller, Ph.D.) as well as treatment development studies for suicide
(Heather Schatten, Ph.D. & Ivan Miller, Ph.D.). Start date is flexible. We are
considering applicants who can start immediately through May 2021.
Butler Hospital is a Brown University-affiliated psychiatric and substance abuse hospital
located in Providence, RI. Butler Hospital is one of the earliest psychiatric facilities
established in the United States. The Psychosocial Research Program at Butler is one of
several active research groups at the hospital. Dr. Ivan Miller is the director and the
program is comprised of academic psychologists, post-doctoral
fellows, research assistants, master's-level interventionists, and project
coordinators. Research in this group is currently funded by numerous NIH grants, and the
majority of this work centers on suicide prevention, post-hospital transitions,
technology-assisted assessment and intervention, mood and psychotic disorders, and
comorbid conditions (addictions and physical health problems) conducted in a variety of
clinical settings.
