The Reproductive Psychiatry Research Program in the Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences Department at the University of Virginia seeks a highly skilled Research Associate to contribute to the exploration of biological differences between postpartum depression associated with and without a particular epigenetic signature.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with novel epigenetic biomarkers that prospectively identify 80% of postpartum depression cases and compare biomarker-positive postpartum depression cases to biomarker-negative postpartum depression cases, studying a range of biological processes including Hypothalamic Pituitary Axis functioning, inflammatory markers, immune system markers, and neuroactive steroid system functioning.

The candidate will also compare clinical characteristics associated with biomarker-positive and negative postpartum depression with the goal of developing an understanding of the biological basis of biomarker-positive depression and its typical clinical presentation.

Responsibilities
  • Oversee the day-to-day operation of projects
  • Confer with the PI (Dr. Jennifer Payne) in developing plans for research projects
  • Discuss the interpretation of results and prepare scientific manuscripts for publication
Qualifications
