New SCRAP Lab pub alert! So fun to work on this cool project with @laurenhartstein.bsky.social
The SCRAP lab will be at @adaaanxiety.bsky.social this April presenting exciting work on #sleep and #anxiety!
First, join us on Thursday 4/9 in the 11am session on sleep and #PTSD to hear about how last night's sleep predicts next-day PTSD symptoms in sexual assault survivors. 1/2
Freshly lit: Do psychiatric symptoms fluctuate across the day? Do the patterns differ by chronotype? A recent study by Balter et al. explores these questions in a sample of N = 515 adults.

⚠️Not all that oscillates is circadian!
❓Do you know how scientists define circadian rhythms? See below for the 4-part definition.

Screenshot with text: The Computational Mechanisms of Psychopathology Lab (COMPLab; PI: Vanessa Brown, PhD) is recruiting for a postdoctoral fellow to join the lab. Research in the lab uses behavioral tasks (administered in-lab and remotely), functional and structural imaging, computational modeling, and mechanistic interventions (brief psychotherapy, neuromodulation) to investigate learning alterations in anxiety and related disorders. In particular, this position will support research funded by a new NIH R01 using predictive and generative modeling of threat imminence to understand and manipulate avoidance in anxiety. This position is ideal for someone with a background in some combination of behavior/learning theory approaches to anxiety, computational modeling of behavior, and fMRI analysis; and who wishes to gain or deepen expertise in these areas. The postdoctoral fellow will be expected to design experiments, analyze data, present and publish findings, apply for external funding, and assist with training other lab members and with lab management. Dr. Brown and the COMP Lab are strongly committed to mentorship, and support will be provided to assist the postdoctoral fellow to prepare for an independent research career.
I am recruiting a postdoc for a new NIMH-funded R01 using neural and behavioral models to understand anxious avoidance. Please share with anyone who may be interested!

Applying for graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience can be challenging and confusing. Frequently, applicants have some support from mentors at their home institutions, but sometimes applicants are looking for additional reassurance, feedback, or perspectives on the processes.
