Fellowship Opportunity at Simon Fraser University </span></b></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';font-size:10pt">Dr. Robert McMahon in
the Department of Psychology at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British
Columbia, Canada is seeking a qualified Ph.D.-level researcher for a
postdoctoral fellow position. The position will be based in the newly
established Institute for the Reduction of Youth Violence, which is directed by
Dr. McMahon.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';font-size:10pt">The Institute is
located at SFU, with activities at both SFU and at the Child & Family
Research Institute in Vancouver, BC. The Institute is intended to serve as a hub
for interdisciplinary research in conduct problems and a resource for
researchers, practitioners, policy makers and the general public to learn about
evidence-based approaches for preventing and treating conduct problems. SFU is
one of Canada’s premier universities, with an established track record of
interdisciplinary approaches to research. At SFU, colleagues in Psychology,
Criminology, Health Sciences, Education, and Public Policy have active research
programs related to youth conduct problems. Potential collaborators at CFRI
include researchers in developmental pediatrics, neurosciences, genetics,
epidemiology, and injury prevention.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';font-size:10pt">The position will
provide opportunities to assist in the development of the Institute, and to work
on multiple data sets and research projects. These include data from the Fast
Track Project, which includes both high-risk and normative samples followed from
kindergarten through age 25, and two separate ongoing RCTs evaluating the
Connect program, which is an attachment-based family intervention program for
young adolescents with high levels of conduct problems. The Connect trials
include both clinic-referred and high-risk samples of
youth. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';font-size:10pt">Start date is
flexible between March and June 2014. Funding is available for 2 years,
contingent on performance and available funds. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';font-size:10pt">Annual salary is
$50,000 (Canadian) year and includes 3 weeks (15 days) of vacation pay, plus
statutory holidays. There is a professional development allowance of $1,900
(Canadian)/year. </span></p><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';font-size:10pt">Review of
applications will begin on February 15; however, the search will continue until
the position is filled. Please submit a letter focusing on research interests
(2-3 pages max.), a current CV, up to three representative publications, and two
research references. <b>Expertise in advanced quantitative methods, especially
those employed in longitudinal data analyses and randomized controlled trials
(e.g., SEM, multilevel models, growth models, mixture models), and familiarity
with highly zero-inflated and skewed data analytic approached (e.g., zero
inflated poisson, negative binomial and hurdle approaches), is especially
welcome.</b> The position will remain open until filled. Email applications to
