  • Lead psychophysiology operations: develop SOPs; train staff/trainees; oversee quality control for acquisition and scoring.
  • Guide analysis strategy: build/oversee preprocessing and feature extraction pipelines; integrate physiology with clinical and sleep outcomes; partner with statisticians/data scientists as needed.
  • Scholarly output: co-lead manuscripts, abstracts, and conference presentations; write clear, reproducible methods.
  • Grant support: contribute to mechanistic aims and measurement/analysis sections for pilot and multi-site proposals.
  • Mentorship & team science: participate in lab meetings; mentor trainees in psychophysiology methods and scientific writing.
  • Measurement/Methods (examples): EDA, ECG/HR/HRV, EMG, respiration/startle, facial coding; remote PPG/wearables; integration with actigraphy/PSG (as applicable) and symptom/behavioral outcomes.
  • Effort: Primarily research collaboration and scientific output; limited clinical activity only if relevant to funding/service needs.

Job Requirements:
  • PhD/PsyD in clinical psychology or closely related field.
  • Demonstrated research productivity and strong quantitative/writing skills.
  • Experience in psychophysiology and/or mechanistic clinical/translational research (PTSD/trauma, sleep, fear learning, TBI).
