Description
The Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego is seeking applicants for a postdoctoral fellowship focused on clinical neuroscience and psychedelic-assisted mindfulness therapy for addiction and chronic pain. The position is part of the ONEMIND (Optimized Neuroscience-Enhanced Intervention Design) program, led by Professor Eric Garland, and involves federally funded research on Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) for opioid use disorder and chronic pain. The postdoc will assist with clinical trials, provide psychedelic-assisted therapy sessions, analyze psychophysiological data (EEG, fMRI), and contribute to manuscript preparation and grant writing.
Applicants should hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology, Health Psychology, or an MD with a psychiatry focus. Candidates with PhDs in Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, or Data Science may be considered if they also have a clinical master's degree. Required skills include scientific writing, data analysis, and experience in mindfulness-based interventions, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and/or psychotherapy. Preferred qualifications include experience with psychophysiological data analysis, computer coding, machine learning, and study coordination on federally funded projects.
The fellowship is a two-year, renewable position with a competitive salary and full benefits. Fellows will have opportunities to coauthor scientific articles, write federal grants, and potentially transition into a faculty role at UCSD. The position is open immediately, and applicants must be willing to live in the San Diego region. Application materials include a CV, cover letter, and three references, to be sent to Dr. Eric Garland. For more information, visit the ONEMIND program page.
Key research areas include psychedelic-assisted therapy, mindfulness, addiction, clinical neuroscience, chronic pain, EEG, fMRI, and data analysis. The lab offers interdisciplinary connections and is ranked highly for NIH funding in psychiatry. This opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in advancing research and clinical practice in addiction and mindfulness-based interventions.
Funding
This is a two-year, renewable position with a highly competitive salary and full benefits through the University of California, San Diego. Fellows may have the opportunity to transition into a faculty position. The position is federally funded.
How to apply
Send a current CV, cover letter, and contact information for three references to Dr. Eric Garland ([email protected]). Include your availability and interest in the email. Review of candidates is ongoing.
Requirements
Applicants must have a PhD (by start of employment) in Clinical Psychology, Health Psychology, or an MD with a focus on psychiatry. PhDs in Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, or Data Science are considered if they also hold a clinical master's degree (e.g., Psychology, Social Work, Counseling). Required skills include scientific writing, data analysis, and experience delivering psychedelic-assisted therapy, mindfulness, and/or psychotherapy. Mindfulness practice experience and clinical experience in addiction and/or chronic pain populations are preferred. Experience with psychophysiological data analysis (EEG, HRV, fNIRS, MRI, eye tracking), computer coding/data science, machine learning, and/or study coordination on federally funded studies is a plus.
