The Yale Fellowship in Developmental Psychopathology and Social Neuroscience will select highly qualified college graduates to participate in cutting-edge clinical, developmental, and computational research on social cognition in infants at risk for autism as well as toddlers affected by developmental disabilities at the Yale Child Study Center. The Yale Child Study Center is a leading institution for research on autism and related social disabilities, with a multidisciplinary approach to autism research spanning projects in behavioral neuroscience, neuroimaging, molecular and population genetics, and treatment. Successful applicants will be involved in a two-year program of training involving clinical and research experiences, beginning on October 1, 2017.

The fellowship’s curriculum includes participation in weekly science meetings, weekly Yale Early Social Cognition Laboratory meetings, research tutorials and courses, and other didactic experiences at the Yale Child Study Center, School of Medicine, and Departments of Psychology and Statistics.

The primary training experience will be in daily activities related to behavioral, technological, and eye-tracking studies of infants and toddlers with and without autism. Fellows will be responsible for assisting in a variety of research activities in the Lab and for completing experimental protocols with infants and toddlers and their families, including administering standardized assessment procedures, coding behavioral measures, entering data, videorecording assessments, assisting in the preparation of manuscripts and conference presentations, and providing general assistance relevant to the functioning of the Lab. With research mentorship, selected applicants will be expected to guide a pre-determined project of research from the point of data collection through analysis and publication of results. Successful applicants will be directly mentored by the program directors, and involved in a highly active and productive community of clinical research scientists.

The mission of the Buffett Early Childhood Institute is to transform the lives of children, especially those who are vulnerable because of poverty, familial challenge and/or abuse, or developmental delays by improving their learning and development. To accomplish these goals, the Buffett Early Childhood Institute works with schools, agencies, community partners, policy makers, and faculty across the four University of Nebraska campuses to implement and support high-quality evidence-based services, programs and policies for young children and their families. One-quarter of the incumbent’s effort will be committed to engagement, outreach, and research activities in collaboration with the Buffett Institute.
