[#DIV28SUPER] Postdoctoral Training in Opioid Research, Johns Hopkins University

Postdoctoral Fellow Position Available:

Come work with Dr Kelly Dunn, Ph.D., MBA on randomized trials related to opioid use disorder within the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Behavioral Pharmacology Research Unit (BPRU) (https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/psychiatry/research/BPRU/). The BPRU is a leader in examining the effects of substances in people, training postdoctoral fellows in the conduct of human laboratory as well as randomized controlled trial designs.  Dr Dunn is seeking postdoctoral support for several current trials, including a laboratory evaluation of opioid withdrawal expression and mechanisms, residential and outpatient examinations of novel medications for opioid use disorder, and a multi-site trial examination of a novel intervention for comorbid pain and opioid use. More information about Dr. Dunn's ongoing trials is available here: www.marylandopioidresearch.com/ 

 

Postdoctoral fellows are financially supported for 2-3 years by a prestigious T32 training award that has been in place for more than 40 years.  BPRU is a happy and collaborative environment with structured mentoring opportunities.  We maintain postdoctoral cohorts of 8-16 fellows annually, which allows trainees to develop and build strong peer networks that are maintained throughout their career.  Job responsibilities include training in the management and supervision of trial conduct, data analyses, manuscript preparation and submission, and presenting at national conferences.  Trainees from our program are highly successful, leaving here to be hired by the FDA, DEA, research universities, teaching colleges, industry, and private businesses.  If you want to make an impact on persons with opioid use disorder, this is the place. Come work and train with us today!  

Interested individuals should send a statement of interest and CV to Dr. Kelly Dunn at kdunn9@jhmi.edu. Applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

[#DIV28SUPER] Neurocognitive mechanisms of structural racism virtual meeting, May 17-19, 2022

 Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Structural Racism

 

 

• WELCOME                AGENDA                    REGISTRATION                          NIH PLANNING        TEAM                         CONTACT

TACWelcome

Welcome to the ‘Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Structural Racism’ Virtual Meeting, sponsored by the Racial Equity Initiative at the National Institute of Drug Abuse.

The ‘Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Structural Racism’ meeting will bring together a group of interdisciplinary researchers to unpack the effects of structural racism on neurocognition, as it relates to substance use and mental health, and to discuss how to consider and contextualize structural racism in developing research studies.

This three-day meeting will include in-depth discussions about the roots of structural racism and its impacts on neuroscience and psychiatry and will provide researchers avenues and tools to address systemic and structural oppression within their own research environments and portfolios.

The objective of this meeting is to provide cognitive neuroscience researchers with knowledge and awareness about the impacts of structural racism on the study of the human brain, and how to be anti-racist as a neuroscientist. The meeting will provide researchers with tools to contextualize study design and statistical analyses with respect to social determinants of health. In addition, participants will discuss the need to incorporate perspectives from community stakeholders, epidemiology, intervention science, sociology, and bioethics into cognitive neuroscience.

[#DIV28SUPER] Fwd: Clinical Psychopharmacology Survey

Dear Div 28 members,

I hope this e-mail finds you rested and relaxed from a good weekend.  Below are details about a survey that Division 55 is conducting in order to gauge interest among APA members from select divisions (including Div 28) in the pursuit of board certification in clinical psychopharmacology through the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP).  The survey is very short and is aimed at collecting data to document the number of psychologists who either have existing training/education in clinical psychopharmacology or who are interested in pursuing training and/or ABPP certification in clinical psychopharmacology.  If you fit this description, please consider taking a few minutes to complete the survey.

Thanks!

-Ryan

Hi Ryan and Kelly,

Below is the blurb you can include in the email to your members. Of course, you can add anything you think will be helpful too. Thanks again!

As part of Division 55's (Society for Prescribing Psychology) effort to create a clinical psychopharmacology board certification with the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP), Division 55 is collecting demographic information, as well as information regarding support and interest in pursuing this board certification, from multiple divisions, including Division 28. Please note that no formal training in clinical psychopharmacology is required for this survey; this survey's purpose is to collect information and gauge interest only.

Therefore, please complete this short survey (link below). It can be done anonymously or you can identify yourself; whichever you prefer. It will take 5 minutes or less. Any information collected will be used in our application to ABPP. Please complete the survey by April 17, 2022.
