Position Details
Position Description
The Acculturation, Diversity, and Psychopathology Team (ADAPT; Principal Investigator: Priscilla Lui) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington invites applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar. The desired start date of the appointment is September 1st, 2023, but this is negotiable. Topics of interest include sociocultural determinants of mental health and addictive behaviors, culturally responsive treatment considerations, measurement development and psychometric evaluation, and meta-science.
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in psychology or relevant disciplines by the start date of the position. Consideration for the position will be given to applicants with research interests and a publication track record in human participant research related to minority mental health and health disparities. The ideal candidate will have a record or promising evidence of a productive and innovative research program, independence in tackling issues relevant to minority mental health, alcohol and substance use, and health disparities, and interest in pursuing a research-oriented career.
We encourage applications from scholars who are members of groups that have been historically underrepresented in psychology, and/or whose research interests bring a critical perspective to understanding the experiences of populations that are understudied and underserved.
The primary responsibilities of the Postdoctoral Scholar will be to contribute to ongoing research projects being conducted in the lab and collaborate with the PI on secondary analyses using existing datasets. There will be opportunities to develop independent projects that align with the research interests of ADAPT. Other responsibilities will involve supervising graduate students in clinical psychology, and psychology undergraduate students and research staff. The Postdoctoral Scholar also may receive research mentorship, consultation, and seminar opportunities from collaborating experts in psychology and psychiatry at the University of Washington. The Postdoctoral Scholar will be supported in their career development and submission of grant applications.
This is a full-time (100% FTE), 12 months/year position, with an initial appointment for one year (12 months) and the possibility of renewal subject to performance and funding availability. The base salary range for this position will be $5,457 - $6,202 per month ($65,484 and $74,424/per year), commensurate with experience and qualifications, or as mandated by a U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage determination.
