Postdoctoral Positions, Department of Psychiatry, University of Montreal, Canada (2015)

Three profiles of candidates will be considered:

- Clinical Post-Doctoral Researcher: This candidate should have a PhD in Clinical Psychology or related fields involving training in psychosocial interventions and will be responsible for overseeing psychotherapy trials targeting youth mental health and addiction. This candidate will have opportunities to contribute to research treatment protocols, training and supervision of other therapists in the community and will be encouraged to analyse data and publish findings based on the data from these trials.

- Post-Doctoral Researcher in Addiction Neuroscience: This candidate should have a PhD in experimental psychology, neuroscience and related biomedical sciences. They should have experience analysing neuroimaging data. Responsibilities will be mainly related to the Neuroventure and IMAGEN projects (see www.Neuroventure.ca and www.imagen-europe.ca ), which are longitudinal neuroimaging studies of young adolescents. Data collection is already well underway. The candidate will work closely with our collaborators at the Montreal Neurological Institute to analyse available data. Other responsibilities will include: a) Day-to-day management of databases for two large longitudinal genetics-neuroimaging studies; b) Novel and complex analyses of multivariate and longitudinal paediatric behavioural and neuroimaging data; c) Explore new ways to model the complex structure of abnormal behaviour and its relationship to brain structure, function and connectivity.

- Post Doctoral Researcher in Longitudinal and Multivariate Data Analyses: This candidate should have a PhD in fields of study that focus on computational methodologies, statistics or developmental psychopathology. The candidate will have access to a number of very large adolescent cohort studies and prevention trials, which include rich and repeated behavioural phenotyping assessments. The candidate will be encouraged to use these datasets to study the organisational structure of psychopathology in youth and the different developmental trajectories relevant to mental health outcomes. They will also be encouraged to analyse the effects of psychosocial interventions on these outcomes. There will be opportunities to study mental health from a Global perspective, so researchers with cultural psychology/psychiatry backgrounds will also be considered for this position.
