The Fisher Stress Neurobiology and Prevention (SNAP) lab is looking for graduate students who are interested in supporting young children and their parents. Work in the SNAP lab focuses on the effects of early adversity on the brain, developing and testing preventative interventions to improve outcomes for families, and using this research to impact policy and practices towards high-risk children and families. You can learn more about the lab here:

Currently, the lab is looking for graduate students to join two project teams: FIND and KEEP. FIND stands for Filming Interaction to Nurture Development. FIND is a strength based video coaching program for parents and other caregivers of high-risk children. FIND is a 10-week targeted intervention that uses video of naturally occurring child-parent interaction to encourage developmentally supportive caregiving. Videos are analyzed and edited using a microsocial approach to highlight instances of “serve and return” interaction, positive, supportive responses to child initiated behavior. The lab is looking for students who are interested in learning to coach high-risk families and/or to analyze and edit FIND video. More about FIND here:

There are also opportunities on the KEEP-P project. KEEP is a 12-week group program that draws on parenting skills developed at the Oregon Social Learning Center. Some KEEP groups also include the FIND video coaching approach.

Students will be asked to commit  8-10 hours per week to the projects. Additional hours available. Didactic training and group supervision provided. The clinical team in the SNAP lab is supportive and dedicated to serving children and families. Students will gain clinical experience while contributing to clinical intervention research.

Please feel free to contact Dr. Melanie Berry in the SNAP lab at m<mailto:MelanieB at oslc.org>elberry at uoregon.edu<mailto:elberry at uoregon.edu> to learn more or apply.
