The Calhoun Cardiology Center and Department of Medicine at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine invite applications for a NIAAA-funded NRSA T32 postdoctoral fellowship related to alcohol research. Possible areas of study include but are not limited to:
- alcohol-related health disparities
- measurement of alcohol use in natural environments
- relation of alcohol to substance use treatment outcomes
- alcohol's impact on health conditions (e.g., HIV, diabetes) and health behaviors (e.g., medication adherence, risk behaviors)
- risk factors for alcohol misuse and use disorders
Our lab focuses on behavioral interventions, including contingency management. Faculty mentors include Drs. Sheila Alessi (integration of mobile technologies into behavioral AUD/SUD treatments, smoking cessation), Kristyn Zajac (adolescents/young adults, posttraumatic stress disorder and AUD/SUD treatment, internet gaming disorder, promotion of HIV testing), and Carla Rash (AUD/SUD in severely disadvantaged populations, housing and employment issues, HIV). With our program's emphasis on comprehensive career mentorship, fellows will also select a secondary mentor and an external advisor from a larger pool of training faculty.
Past fellows in our lab published 4-12 papers in 1-2 year periods. All attained choice positions, most received independent NIH grant support, and many applied for and obtained support from the NIH Loan Repayment Program. The fellowship provides training in alcohol-related research, a stipend and health insurance, tuition for workshops, and travel funds for alcohol-related conferences.
Please send cover letter, CV, a statement of training and career goals, names of 3 references, and transcript to:
Isaac Scott at iscott@uchc.edu
Start date is open. Fellows must be US citizens or permanent residents. UCONN is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer.
