Clinical Post-Doc, Loma Linda University
This announcement comes from Carlos Fayard:
Loma Linda University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry is currently accepting applications for a postdoctoral position in Clinical Psychology. Loma Linda University is a Seventh-day Adventist educational health-sciences institution; the mission of Loma Linda University is to alleviate human suffering through a wholistic approach, seeking to bring about healing and growth by attending to the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs of the persons and communities that we serve. The Department of Psychiatry supports the mission of Loma Linda University through service, training, teaching, and research at the interface of psychology and the spiritual life.
We are seeking an individual with a strong clinical and research interest in the interface of psychology and the spiritual life, and in particular, knowledgeable and supportive of the Adventist worldview. As we endeavor to engage all dimensions of a patient's personhood, including spirituality and religious faith should the patient so desire, the ideal candidate for this position would be one who demonstrates competence (or is actively seeking the development of competence) in theoretical, clinical, and personal aspects of psychotherapy and the spiritual life. In addition to clinical work, the postdoctoral resident will be involved in interdisciplinary dialogues and scholarly activities such as symposia, theoretical writings, and the development and implementation of research projects aimed to teaching and training medical professionals and lay persons to contextualize and apply mental health programs in international communities.
The successful candidate will provide outpatient individual psychotherapy and psychological testing, inpatient group therapy and testing, training and peer supervision to practicum students, consultation to medical providers, and will participate in multidisciplinary treatment teams. Regarding involvement in scholarly activities, the postdoctoral resident is expected to contribute to ongoing quantitative and qualitative research projects; therefore familiarity with both methodologies is required. Qualified candidates should submit a CV, letter of interest (including a statement describing your thoughts on the relationship between clinical psychology and the spiritual life), and three letters of recommendation by e-mail to:

Aarhus University PhD Opportunities
PhD scholarships and fellowships
The Graduate School of Theology and the Study of Religion at the Faculty of Theology, Aarhus University invites highly qualified applicants to apply for admission to a PhD scholarship or fellowship commencing 1 February 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The Faculty’s current research strengths are in a wide range of subject areas, including Biblical Studies; Church History and Practical Theology; Ethics, Philosophy of Religion, and Dogmatics; Religion and cognition; Sociology of Religion; World Religions; and Arab and Islamic Studies.
About 35 PhD students are enrolled at the Graduate School. Topics being studied currently can be seen under ongoing projects http://www.teo.au.dk/en/research/current.
Our PhD programmes consist of the following elements:
• Completion of an independent research project under supervision and preparation of a PhD dissertation based on the project.
• A course component corresponding to 30 ECTS.
• Acquisition of experience in teaching activities or other forms of communicating knowledge.
• An opportunity to work in a supportive research environment, including periods of study at other research institutions, mainly abroad, or by other means.
The most widely used language at the Graduate School is English. Our study environment features close, informal contact between supervisors and PhD students. Our teaching and IT facilities are of a very high standard, and our well-equipped library provides excellent resources for research activities. We attach great importance to the quality of supervision provided to PhD students. Our PhD supervisors therefore complete special courses in supervision.
Requirements for admission
Enrolment as a PhD student at the Graduate School is a prerequisite for being granted a PhD scholarship or fellowship. Enrolment is possible at two different stages:
• Applicants who hold a relevant BA degree of 180 ECTS and have, prior to 1 February 2010, satisfactorily completed courses corresponding to 60 ECTS of a relevant MA degree programme may apply for PhD scholarships and will, if successful, be enrolled into a 4-year dual MA/PhD degree programme (4+4).
• Applicants who hold a relevant BA degree of 180 ECTS and have, prior to 1 February 2010, satisfactorily completed a relevant MA degree consisting of at least 120 ECTS, may apply for PhD fellowships and will, if successful, be enrolled directly into a 3-year PhD degree programme (5+3).
In assessing applications, we focus on candidates’ ability to present an original and interesting research project that can contribute productively to one of our current research environments.
For successful candidates, Aarhus University can assist in finding suitable accommodation and in arranging any necessary work or residence permits. The Faculty of Theology provides office space and computer facilities.

The three doctoral positions concern a research project on religious fundamentalism and convictional dogmatism, a large interdisciplinary project between psychology (social and developmental) and law (including social criminology). All positions include successful preparation of a Ph.D. More in details:
1.1. One doctoral position will focus on the study of consequences of fundamentalism on interpersonal behavior (altruism, aggression, submission) and requires skills in social experimental psychology.
1.2. A second doctoral position will focus on moral judgment (cognitive, emotional, and relational aspects) as reflecting convictional dogmatism and requires knowledge of moral and personality psychology.
1.3. A third doctoral position will focus on the study of the development of ethnic and religious identities and pluralism among children as well as the study of regressive tendencies in cognitive development of adults high in dogmatism; it will require skills on developmental and educational psychology.
2. The post-doctoral position (PhD in psychology) concerns three studies on (a) the role religion plays on the acculturation between the host society and immigrant minorities (of both high and low SES); (b) the distinction between islamophobia and anti-Arab prejudice; and (c) the possible “aversive racism” among the left-wing. Both surveys and experiments are planned.
The fellowship amounts to a net salary of approx. 1.413 € monthly for each of the doctoral positions, and approx. 1.963 € monthly for the postdoctoral one (both are tax free with right to Social Security).
Applicants should have knowledge of French and English, strong background in theory and methods of the respective psychological field, as well as openness and interest in interdisciplinarity.

Researcher
GRADE 8: Salary £33,779 - £34,813
We seek applications for a Research post within the Faculty of Theology and the Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion at the University of Oxford. This new post has been created for our recently initiated project in Empirical Expansion in Cognitive Science of Religion & Theology, a joint venture of Oxford’s Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion and the Centre for Anthropology & Mind in the School of Anthropology. In addition to developing or continuing her or his own line of research in Cognitive Science of Religion & Theology, the post holder will work under the supervision of Professor Roger Trigg and Dr Justin Barrett in implementing two major projects developing cognitive science of religion and theology: (1) a Methodological Expansion Programme to create resources and occasions to increase the amount of empirical research in the field and the sophistication of dialogue with theology; and (2) a Small Grant Programme to create opportunities for scholars to address the needs for empirical testing and theological engagement within the field. As part of a team, the post holder will be responsible for managing the Small Grant Programme. The post holder will solicit and coordinate requests for proposals, communicate with applicants, and serve on the judging panel for awards. Additionally, the post holder will serve as a discussion facilitator in a Summer Workshop – particularly with theologians – and will serve as a project guide for scholars participating in cross-training activities of the Methodological Expansion Program. The Researcher will co-edit a published collection and will take the lead in conducting a publishable assessment of the cognitive science of religion field in terms of its theological and philosophical implications and areas in need of additional attention.
This 32 month position will begin in January 2007 and end in August 2010. The final 11 months (October 2009 – August 2010) are funded at 50% time. The post holder will be required to produce evidence of their eligibility to work in the UK. Applicants should have a doctoral degree in the area of theology, philosophy of religion, or an area closely related to the cognitive science of culture. Applicants must be fluent in written and spoken English. Essential requirements for the post are: strong familiarity with central problems in theology and/or philosophy of religion; familiarity with the academic literature in cognitive science of religion; strong organisational and administrative skills; strong networking skills; willingness and ability to work as part of a team; experience in collaborative scholarship and publication; and competence with Word and PowerPoint. It would also be desirable for applicants to have the ability to teach theology at the university level, particularly in the area of science and religion, and have experience in lecturing to interdisciplinary audiences.
