There are a number of funded efforts via the VA, DOD, DARPA, and NIH. The postdoctoral associates will be working on mechanisms of traumatic brain injury, cognitive and emotional symptoms (e.g., PTSD), and interventions to address core problems such as sleep disruption. Methodologies include structural, functional, and spectroscopic magnetic resonance imaging, electrophysiology, and neurostimulation technologies (e.g., transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation).

When you join a Division (typically really cheap [~$20 per year], sometimes even free, for students), you will typically get an email telling you how to join that Division's listserv. You also don't have to be an APA member to be a Division member.

An historic city and Virginia’s capital, Richmond offers an attractive array of leisure, cultural, and social opportunities not usually found in mid-sized cities. Richmond is proud to support several first-class museums, three prominent universities, a symphony, professional ballet and opera companies, and numerous theater groups and a thriving art community. Richmond also hosts the annual Richmond Folk Festival, a free festival featuring live performances by some of the world’s greatest folk musicians. History enthusiasts will find much to enjoy and explore in the region, including the American Civil War Museum, the Petersburg National Battlefield, Colonial Williamsburg, and several exceptional opportunities to learn about African-American history, including the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia and the Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site. Richmond has become renowned for its restaurant and craft beer offerings, reported by U.S. News & World Report as one of the world’s “8 Under-the-Radar Foodie Cities” and by Southern Living as one of the top 10 cities in the South (2020).

The Forensic Services Unit at Mississippi State Hospital (MSH) is seeking qualified candidates for the Postdoctoral Training Program in Forensic Psychology with the MSH Behavioral Health Services Department in Whitfield, Mississippi.

The Forensic Services Unit provides four different types of services: (1) Outpatient forensic criminal evaluations; (2) Inpatient forensic criminal evaluations; (3) Court competence restoration; and (4) Treatment for long-term patients adjudicated Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI). Other non-forensic (i.e., civilly committed) patients are sometimes treated on the forensic unit due to their aggressive behavior and need for treatment within a more secure unit.

As the only state-operated inpatient forensic service in Mississippi, the staff of the Forensic Services Unit regularly conducts a number of different types of pretrial and post-conviction criminal forensic evaluations. The Forensic Psychology Fellow is part of FES. FES provides pretrial and post-conviction inpatient and outpatient forensic mental health evaluations of adult criminal defendants, and rarely juvenile defendants who have been waived to adult court, for Mississippi Circuit Courts in all 82 counties across the state.

The most frequently referred issues include evaluations of competence to stand trial, competence to waive or assert constitutional rights (including competence to waive Miranda rights), and mental state at the time of the alleged offense(s). Additional evaluation referrals include: capital sentencing/mitigation, pretrial evaluations of intellectual disability in capital murder cases (“Atkins evaluations”), and violence/sexual violence risk assessments.
