The STaR Lab focuses on mechanism-informed, pharmacologically augmented psychotherapies and experimental paradigms of fear learning and extinction, including studies of orexin antagonists for PTSD and insomnia, remote and in-lab psychophysiology (e.g., fear conditioning, EDA, HR/HRV, EMG, facial coding, remote PPG), and sleep and cardiovascular risk in trauma-exposed populations, including women Veterans and other high-risk groups. The primary goal of this postdoctoral position is to train clinical and translational researchers (e.g., PhD psychologists/neuroscientists, MDs in psychiatry/neurology, or other allied health professionals) to become leading investigators in the areas of PTSD and trauma-related disorders, insomnia and sleep disturbance, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and mechanistic studies of fear learning and extinction.
