SwitzerlandWhat I'm looking for
I am Dr. Harriet Falk, a dedicated psychologist with a Doctorate in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My academic journey has equipped me with a robust understanding of psychobiology, public health, and mental health research. I have excelled in my studies, achieving excellent grades during my doctorate thesis, and I am passionate about advancing my career in academia.
Throughout my professional journey, I have gained extensive experience in clinical settings, focusing on family psychology, trauma management, and intercultural counseling. My current post-doctoral role at the University Teaching Hospital of Aarau has allowed me to hone my skills in quantitative research methods, including multilevel modeling and Structural Equation Modeling, while managing large datasets. I have authored ten scientific manuscripts and presented my findings at various conferences, showcasing my commitment to contributing to the field of psychology.
I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a post-doctoral position at the University of Oslo, where I can collaborate with esteemed researchers and contribute to the advancement of psychological research, particularly in my home country of Uganda, where there is a pressing need for trained professionals in this field.
