Postdoctoral Scholar

Professor Elizabeth Cauffman and the Development, Disorder, and Delinquency Laboratory, at the University of California, Irvine, are currently accepting applications for a postdoctoral scholar to join their research team. The postdoctoral scholar selected for this position will primarily focus on the Young Adult Court (YAC) study of Orange County, which is a randomized controlled trial of a specialized court designed for Transitional-Aged-Youth (18 to 25 years old) in Orange County (https://www.occourts.org/directory/collaborative-courts/YoungAdultCourtSummary.pdf). Dr. Cauffman and her research team are evaluating whether young men processed through the YAC have better long-term outcomes (reduced recidivism; positive mental and physical health; positive socioeconomic) than young men who are processed through the traditional courts.

The postdoctoral scholar selected for this position may also be involved with the Road to Reentry Study, which is a randomized controlled trial examining whether developmentally-appropriate programming in a jail setting can reduce recidivism and promote positive outcomes among young adult incarcerated in an Orange County jail.

Dr. Cauffman and the Laboratory are seeking a highly-motivated individual with quantitative experience in various types of analytic techniques appropriate for longitudinal data. Experience writing academic manuscripts and preparing a grant application is also preferred.
