[Laura Lee McIntyre]

Dear all,

School Psychology is pleased to announce interviews with two more candidates for our open rank tenure line positions in school psychology.

Bridgette Tonnsen will be giving a research colloquium on Wed 12/10 from 1:30-2:30 pm (Q&A from 2:30-3pm).
Ms. Bridgette Tonnsen is currently completing an APA-accredited internship in child psychology at the Charleston Consortium, Medical University of South Carolina, and will graduate with her PhD in School Psychology with a concentration in Quantitative Methods from the University of South Carolina in summer 2015 (dissertation defense November 2014). Funded by a Ruth Kirschstein F31 fellowship (MH095318; $104,901, Principal Investigator), Ms. Tonnsen's  program of research integrates clinical, experimental, and physiological methods to examine pathways and predictors of autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities. Ms. Tonnsen's program of research includes (1) identifying autism precursors in early childhood through clinical, psychophysiological, and experimental methods, (2) investigating indictors of psychopathology risk in children with both idiopathic autism and fragile X syndrome, the leading heritable cause of autism, and (3) translating current developmental cognitive neuroscience to practice. Ms. Tonnsen's scholarly record includes 11 peer reviewed articles.

D. Max Crowley will be a giving a research colloquium on Fri 12/12 from 10:30-11:30 am (Q&A from 11:30-12pm).
Dr. Max Crowley received his Ph.D. in 2012 from Penn State University in Human Development and Family Studies. He is currently an NIH Research Fellow at the Duke Center for Child and Family Policy and a Research Fellow with the National Bureau of Economic Research. Dr. Crowley's program of research centers on economic diversity. He studies the economics of investing in healthy development with a focus on building cost-effective prevention efforts. Dr. Crowley's research includes: (1) linking early risk to adult economic outcomes, (2) strengthening benefit-cost analyses of school-based preventive interventions, and (3) evaluating the utility of performance-based financing to effectively take educational programs to scale. Dr. Crowley has conducted economic evaluations of multiple preventive interventions-particularly those delivered in school contexts.  This includes a recent grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to evaluate the economic impact of a universal nurse home visiting with two randomized trials. Dr. Crowley co-leads the Society for Prevention Research's Taskforce on Economic Evaluation of Prevention as well as a new NIH-supported transdisciplinary research network. r. Crowley's scholarly record includes 12 peer reviewed articles, 5 reports and chapters, and a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation ($400,000).

I know this is a busy time for folks, but we are so appreciate of the input from faculty, staff, and students who have the opportunity to attend or view the colloquia or meet with candidates in other settings.

Please let me know if you are interested in meeting with one or both of these exceptional candidates

Best,
Laura Lee
