Description
Job Summary: Assistant Professor to serve as a full-time psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory University in the School of Medicine working on clinical research focused on trauma in medical settings, moral injury, suicide, chronic pain and suicide in both EHVP and VA funded studies. We have been conducting clinical research in these areas for many years and recently received three funded grants focused on investigating treatment of PTSD and chronic pain and treatment of PTSD in integrated care. Duties of this position would include work implementing these protocols and as a therapist and assessor on these studies as well as being involved in data analysis and publication. We are members of the Collaborative Family Healthcare Network (https://www.cfha.net/) with many ongoing collaborations. As such there are opportunities to collaborate in this research as well.
The psychologist will work with the interdisciplinary team of EHVP to provide clinical services, conduct clinical research, and supervise postdoctoral fellows and trainees in the conduct of care and research. EHVP provides clinical services to post-9/11 veterans and service members at no cost to the patient as part of the Warrior Care Network. Clinical duties include assessment of veterans referred to the EHVP and providing evidence-based treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, SUD, and TBI. EHVP provides care in an innovative intensive outpatient program (IOP) which draws patients from across the country to receive intensive therapy daily for two weeks. EHVP has many opportunities for clinical research that the applicant could be involved in, including research focused on rTMS, TDCS, biomarkers, psychophysiological paradigms including fear extinction assessed via fear potentiated startle, and a large dataset with a wide array of clinical and self-report variables and will have access to many opportunities for analysis, publication, and grant writing.
Ideal candidates would have training and experience with evidence based therapy. Training and experience with PTSD clinical research would be viewed favorably but is not a requirement, as we will provide this training and ongoing supervision and consultation. The responsibilities for this position will include some or all of the following: academic leadership, teaching, mentoring, research, publications, clinical practice, citizenship, and administrative responsibilities. There are additional position-specific duties that may change with each academic year through discussions with the Program Director, Dr. Barbara Rothbaum, Department Chair, and/or the School of Medicine Dean.
