*SENIOR RESEARCH FELLOW FOR ARMY DATA HEALTH ANALYSIS*

The Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania seeks a
Senior Research Fellow to begin fall 2012, for one or more years. The
fellow will play a central role on a large new grant on Positive Health
among Army Soldiers - exploring on a large scale the influence of
psychological and physical health assets on illness, health care
utilization and health care expenditure.

Specifically, the fellow will serve as primary link between the grant's
senior scientists and the U.S. Army's Research Facilitation Team (RFT).
The fellow will develop expert knowledge on the data elements and the
database (PDE: Person-Event Data Environment) to support the data
analysts and senior scientists. The PDE is a massive database that
presents many data analysis and publication opportunities, including
hundreds of psychological, health, and performance variables on over one
million Army soldiers.

The fellow will help the data analysts operationalize the strategic
goals into actionable lines of data analysis, refine research questions
based on the constraints of the PDE, harvest the required data, assist
in preparing the data for analysis, and ensure the analysts work within
established rules set by the Army Analytics Group (AAG) and the Army's
Chief Information Officer (CIO). The fellow will also serve as a
secondary data analyst for the team, and as a secondary technical
writer, preparing manuscripts for publication. The fellow will assist
the RFT Director in communicating the team's successes to the broader
Army community, and keep the RFT Director apprised of advances made by
the team.

The fellow will work with grant senior scientists including Dr. Martin
E.P. Seligman (PI), Dr. Rhonda Cornum (co-PI), Dr. Laura Kubzansky, Dr.
Christopher Peterson, Dr. Laurence Steinberg and Dr. Darwin Labarthe.

Experience with large-scale data sets using advanced statistics, as well
as an understanding of the interface between mental and physical health
is required. Individuals with a Ph.D. in psychology, health and human
development, social epidemiology, or a related field are encouraged to
apply. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The fellow will
work in Monterey, CA and travel to the sites of the data analysis teams.
Please send CV, statement of interest (two pages max), 2
reprints/preprints, at least 3 references, and letters of recommendation
to: Libby Benson, lbens@psych.upenn.edu. The University of Pennsylvania

Dear colleagues,
I am looking for a PhD student and a Postdoc to join my group at the Department of Psychology, University of Bonn. Each position is to be filled as soon as possible and is funded initially for two years. Suitable candidates should hold a Master level degree (for the PhD position) and a PhD (for the Postdoc position) in psychology, neuroscience or related fields.
The focus of our growing group is on neuroimaging, pharmacological, genetic and clinical studies of the human oculomotor system. We have excellent lab facilities incl. behavioural and fMRI-compatible eyetrackers and we are well connected within the University of Bonn with access to 1.5T and 3T fMRI as well as psychiatric and neurological patient populations. Bonn is a pleasant city on the Rhine with easy access to nature as well as larger cities such as Cologne.
I would be most grateful if you could pass this information on to suitable candidates and I'd be happy to answer questions from anyone interested.
Best wishes, Ulrich Ettinger
