Postdoctoral Position- UAB Department of Psychiatry
The University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Psychiatry is recruiting a postdoctoral research fellow (2-3 year appointment) who desires to become an independent researcher. This NIH funded position is available for a qualified Clinical Psychologist Postdoctoral Fellow with research interests in addiction with vulnerable populations. Ongoing NIH projects include two different behavioral interventions focused on improving medication adherence for use of pharmacotherapy during a smoking cessation attempt among low income and criminal justice-involved smokers, respectively. An additional NIH-funded project is focused on the use of a computerized brief intervention combined with a behavioral and pharmacotherapy algorithm to provide alcohol treatment to persons living with HIV.
The fellow will gain experience in clinical trials research, participate in writing NIH grants, as well as papers for publication from existing data sets and ongoing projects. Mentoring on grant writing and publications is available to transition the fellow to an independent scientist position in an academic medical setting. The fellow will be encouraged to develop an independent project with internal pilot funding available. Candidates must be a doctoral level clinical or counseling psychologist (Alabama license or license-eligible after post-doc) who is dedicated to an academic medical research career in addiction. In addition to writing papers and grants, the fellow will be expected to participate as a member of a team of psychologists and physicians conducting clinical research, and participate in limited clinical responsibilities necessary for licensure. Excellent writing and communication skills are essential, as well as a dedication to working with underserved and stigmatized patient populations.
