Additional forensic assessment opportunities are available through conducting private evaluations in person in the greater New Orleans area and as a remote evaluator. The scope of evaluation questions are broad and come from referrals from attorneys, courts, and medico-legal professionals. Typical forensic cases will encompass both criminal and civil areas, although the majority of referrals are for criminal evaluations. Referrals include competency to stand trial evaluations, violence risk assessments, mitigation/resentencing evaluations, and trauma and PTSD evaluations in both federal and state court. A large portion of case referrals are for criminal responsibility evaluations.
Fellows will also have the opportunity to participate in administrative and clinical meetings, conduct forensic research, and when possible, supervise other trainees under the umbrella supervision of a licensed psychologist. Fellows will attend forensic training seminars and scheduled didactics, including landmark case seminars and expert witness seminars. The forensic fellow is responsible for leading the ACGME-required Forensic Journal Club/Research Seminar. Participation in the annual mock trial conducted jointly with the Tulane Law Clinic and the Tulane Forensic Psychiatry Fellowship is expected. Additionally, opportunities to observe a board-certified psychologist testify and receive supervision on report writing for court and discussion of expert witness skills is a frequent activity.
REQUIRED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
* Completion of a Psy.D. or Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in forensic psychology at an APA-accredited program by the start of the fellowship.
* Completion of an APA-accredited internship with an emphasis on forensic psychology by the start of the fellowship.
* Eligibility for state or provincial licensure or certification for the independent practice of psychology by the start of the fellowship.
REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, ABILITIES/COMPETENCIES TYPICALLY NEEDED TO PERFORM THIS JOB SUCCESSFULLY:
1. Ability to use and interpret forensic psychological assessment instruments and the ability to obtain relevant data through third-party data gathering and a comprehensive forensic interview.
2. Ability to integrate results and formulate interpretations consistent with data, relevant to the conclusions related to the legal question.
3. Excellent forensic report-writing skills, including the ability to write an accurate, comprehensive, and defensible integrated forensic report focused on the referral/psycholegal issue.
4. Experience in reviewing and summarizing case records.
5. Excellent time management, organizational, and self-management skills, including the ability to self-manage remote work.
6. Ability and willingness to travel/commute when required.
7. Excellent communication skills, flexibility, and the ability to work in high-stress situations.
8. Working knowledge of, and practice consistent with, the Specialty Guidelines for Forensic Psychologists and the APA's Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct for Psychologists.

Primary Location: MC AC
Shift: 1
Start Time: End Time:
Posted Salary: $65,000/year
Job Description:
The Department of Environmental Sciences, at the University of Toledo, OH seeks a postdoctoral research associate to study the methane cycling in coastal ecosystems under different flooding regime. A particular focus lies on separating microbial pathways that contribute to methane fluxes using stable isotopes of carbon and hydrogen. Furthermore, possibilities exist to participate in an ecosystem-scale freshwater flooding experiment as well as improve model representation of methane cycling. Experience and interest in using stable isotopes and/or measuring fluxes along the soil/water-plant-atmosphere continuum is welcome. The anticipated start date for the position is October 1, 2025.
Hydrological intensification will lead to changes in inundation and drainage patterns within coastal ecosystems. In the Great Lakes region, lake levels vary on different timescales but are predicted to rise in the next decades. A new ecosystem-scale manipulation in a diked upland forest system in collaboration with the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge will address ecological and biogeochemical responses to increased flood duration and depth. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to help develop and lead this experiment. Depending on interest, the incumbent will also have the opportunity to collect and/or synthesize data from established transects covering wetland, transitional and upland areas where data collection is on-going.
This position is part of the DOE funded project - Coastal Observation, Mechanism, and Predictions Across Systems and Scales - Field Measurements and Experiments (COMPASS-FME). This large project is led by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in collaboration with multiple partners, including the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) and Argonne National Lab. The COMPASS - FME project aims to understand the coupled interactions of plants, microbes, soils/sediments, and hydrology within coastal systems to inform multi- scale, integrated models from reaction scales to the coastal interface. The project's research emphasis is primarily on terrestrial and wetland processes that are influenced by coastal waters, such as the fluxes and transformations of carbon, nutrients, and redox elements through these systems. This project includes several national labs, and research institutions in the W. Basin of Lake Erie and Chesapeake Bay, affording the successful candidate the opportunity for exciting and diverse collaborations. There will be opportunities for close collaboration with project partners and scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center and The University of Toledo.
This postdoc will be based at U. Toledo and will develop sampling strategies and lead data collection and analysis aimed at understanding coastal ecosystem biogeochemical response to hydrological changes. The candidate will also be responsible for data curation in preparation of uploading to scientific databases and work with the COMPASS research team to assist with data review and archiving.
Contact Dr. Inke Forbrich, ************************* with questions or for more information about this position.
Minimum Qualifications:
• PhD or equivalent Doctoral Degree in Environmental Sciences, Ecology, Biogeochemistry or a related discipline is required
