New Postdoctoral Researcher Position!
The Development, Disorder, and Delinquency Laboratory under the advisement of Elizabeth Cauffman, Ph.D., at the University of California, Irvine is currently accepting applications for a postdoctoral scholar position. The research will primarily focus on the Crossroads Study that was designed to identify the long-term effects of juvenile justice system involvement on youth outcomes. We are seeking a highly-motivated individual with quantitative expertise in various types of longitudinal data analysis (e.g., multi-level modeling; finite mixture modeling; latent transition analysis; time-varying effects modeling; longitudinal structural equation modeling). Experience training and managing a team of approximately 15-20 undergraduate research assistants is also preferred. Please see the full posting for more information.
