HJF is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to support the Center for Deployment Psychology's research portfolio including studies related to sleep and suicide ideation in military connected individuals. This position will be responsible for initiating and carrying out research projects in collaboration with CDP's research team.
This position will be in support of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences' Center for Deployment Psychology (CDP), which is based in Bethesda, MD.

CDP's research broadly focuses on military mental health with projects supporting the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based psychotherapies, health services research to improve clinic processes and patient care, and patient focused research seeking to increase our understanding of the correlates, precipitants, and consequences of mental health disorders such as PTSD, insomnia, nightmares, and suicide ideation. Henry M. Jackson Foundation (HJF) provides administrative and management support to the Center. CDP strives to be the central hub for the Military Health System (MHS) in the development and implementation of training and education to clinicians in order to ensure that all service members, veterans, and their families receive quality behavioral healthcare that meets their unique needs.
