The Brains, Emotions, and Adolescent Relationships (BEAR) Lab at the University of Virginia,under the direction of Stefanie Sequeira, Ph.D., in collaboration with the Program for Anxiety, Cognition and Treatment (PACT) Lab, under the direction of Bethany Teachman, Ph.D, seeks applicants for a full-time Research Coordinator.

The team investigates social and cognitive processes that contribute to the development and maintenance of anxiety and related disorders, and we use mobile assessment methods and digital interventions to reduce anxious thinking and increase access to mental health services. The position will involve coordination of lab- and mobile-based data collections with youth, with a focus on using mixed methods and youth co-design processes to develop and test a new digital intervention to help anxious and depressed youth engage on social media in healthier ways.

The Research Coordinator will also have opportunities to co-author scientific papers and conduct independent research. This is an excellent position for a college graduate who is interested in gaining additional research experience before going on to graduate study in psychology or a related field.

My name is Darean Talmadge and I am reaching out to ask you to share an AmeriCorps service year opportunity with your students, caring for infants and children up to age six who are at risk for abuse and neglect in Houston, TX. Hands of Hope AmeriCorps Members will serve these vulnerable children throughout a 12-month commitment, living in a private, gated community (at no cost) and receiving a living allowance.

Hands of Hope AmeriCorps Members will work collaboratively with other AmeriCorps Members in the home to ensure that children’s physical, emotional, and mental needs are met. While the commitment to our organization is only one year, the impact AmeriCorps Members have on the children in their care is lifelong. In turn, the children’s strength, resilience, and love will also make a lifelong impact on them.

We are currently accepting applications for the September 2026-August 2027 service year. Thank you in advance for sharing this opportunity with your students. An informational flyer is attached, and our application can be found at:  https://forms.office.com/r/St0UmVLKH4 

Additionally, attached are the profiles of some of the AmeriCorps Members who served with us during the past two service years.

These profiles offer valuable insight into the background and experience of our Members.
For more information, please contact Darean Talmadge 713-529-0639 dtalmadge@casahope.org

Announcements will run bi-weekly throughout the summer.
