Post-doctoral Research Fellow

We have a postdoctoral fellowship opening working with Emily Belleau, Ph.D. (https://www.mcleanhospital.org/profile/emily-belleau), an Assistant Professor within the Center for Depression, Anxiety and Stress Research at McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital. Dr. Belleau’s team uses a multimodal approach (e.g., fMRI, behavioral tasks, life stress interviews, psychophysiology, wearable technology) to investigate cognitive and affective mechanisms implicated in the development of depression and other stress-related disorders, with a particular focus on the adolescent developmental period. Follow this link for a complete description of the position.

Student Visitors/Research Volunteers

Student Volunteer positions for undergraduates and recent college graduates are available for the Spring and Summer terms for 2025. These positions are within McLean’s Laboratory for Affective and Translational Neuroscience, directed by Diego A. Pizzagalli, Ph.D. Volunteers assist lab members utilizing various methodologies (e.g., brain imaging, electrophysiology, clinical interviews) to study emotional and cognitive processing in both healthy and psychiatric populations, primarily major depression.

Students who are not in the Belmont/Boston area can apply to be a Remote Visitor.

Review of applications is ongoing.

Resources for Applying

We understand that not everyone has access to the same type of resources and materials as they head into job applications during / post college. As part of our DEI initiatives, some of our former and current Research Assistants (RAs) have put together a few resources for individuals looking to apply to RA and Student Visitor positions to promote a more equitable application process.
