Developmental Postdoc in Jerusalem
A postdoctoral fellowship is available at the Social Development Lab in the Department of Psychology, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, working in the research group led by Dr. Ariel Knafo.
Our longitudinal project focuses on gene-environment correlations from infancy to middle childhood. We study the roles of parenting and children's genetics in the development of prosocial behavior, empathy, theory of mind, and psychological problems.
Interested candidates should have a PhD in psychology or neuroscience and advanced knowledge in one, preferably more, of the following:
- Family processes/ parenting research
- Behavior genetics
- Personality/temperament development
- Developmental neuroscience
- Developmental psychopathology
As the research is conducted in Jerusalem
Strong statistical skills and knowledge of longitudinal and family research methods are desirable
The successful applicant will be involved in designing research on gene-environment correlations and in writing up research articles using data from the ongoing Longitudinal Israeli Study of Twins (LIST). This will include serving as lead author on independent projects and collaborative manuscript preparation.
Please submit (msarielk@mscc.huji.ac.il) your CV along with a statement of research interests and career goals and the contact details of two or more researchers who would be willing to write a reference letter for you.
For best consideration, please apply by June 30, 2009. The start date for the fellowship is October 1, 2009 or later. Please feel free to contact Ariel Knafo (msarielk@mscc.huji.ac.il) with questions.
