Sent on behalf of NYU Langone Health Post-Doctoral Psychology Fellowship in Department of Psychiatry at NYU Grossman School of Medicine Posting Date: October 2022 Focus: Anxiety, trauma, and prolonged grief PIs: Naomi M. Simon, M.D., M.Sc. and Kristin Szuhany, Ph.D. A post-doctoral psychology fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry is available starting July 2023 (flexible start through September 1st) at the Anxiety, Stress, and Prolonged Grief Program at NYU Langone Health/NYU Grossman School of Medicine (NYUGSoM). The post-doctoral fellow will have the exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge clinical and translational neuroscience research on anxiety disorders, prolonged grief, and PTSD and will receive close mentorship and support as they continue to develop their own professional career in clinical psychology and clinical and/or translational research. The Anxiety, Stress, and Prolonged Grief Program (ASPGP) is a clinical research program led by Dr. Naomi Simon, a Professor of Psychiatry at NYUGSoM. The ASPGP mission is to improve the understanding and treatment of anxiety, stress, trauma, and grief-related disorders through clinical investigation and treatment studies. The Program intends to leverage the exponential growth in real-time advances in clinical psychology, pharmacotherapy, biology, and digital health to better understand key factors that lead to the development and persistence of anxiety, trauma and grief disorders, as well as their optimal treatment. The fellowship is designed to provide comprehensive training in research investigation and clinical care with a focus on anxiety disorders, PTSD and Prolonged Grief. Ongoing studies at various stages of recruitment and data analysis include clinical trials of cognitive behavioral therapy, yoga, mind body stress reduction (MBSR), exercise, pharmacotherapy, cross-diagnostic psychopathology, computational psychiatry, and collaborative fMRI and biomarker studies. The fellow will have mentored opportunities for participation in abstracts and manuscripts, as well as clinical supervision with a licensed psychologist and investigator in the program (Dr. Szuhany). For currently enrolling studies, including two NCCIH funded trials, the fellow will be involved in clinical assessment and research components. One study is investigating the neural mechanisms of change with MBSR versus a stress education intervention in patients with GAD, and another study is investigating the biological signature of CBD's therapeutic effects in social anxiety disorder (SAD) and its link to core SAD symptoms with collaborating neuroimaging labs. Responsibilities will include conducting diagnostic and symptom severity assessments, and training and implementation of an experimental social stress paradigm. Additional training opportunities are present for research focusing on prolonged grief, PTSD, panic, social and generalized anxiety disorders. Depending on interest, additional part-time clinical opportunities in postdoctoral Year 2 may be available. Applicants must have a PhD (or PsyD) and have completed an internship in clinical psychology by September 2023. Competitive applicants will have prior experience in relevant clinical research and/or care, a background in related psychology, clinical or experimental and/or biological studies, and demonstrated interest in this line of research as exemplified by academic presentations and/or peer-review publications. Supervised clinical time and supervision to support training and licensure will be included. Interested applicants should email Dr. Simon with their cover letter and curriculum vitae at naomi.simon@nyulangone.org<mailto:naomi.simon@nyulangone.org> by February 1st.
