Postdoctoral Fellowships in Alcohol and Addiction Research
Department of Psychological Sciences
University of Missouri
The Department of Psychological Sciences and the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Missouri (MU) are recruiting POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWS IN ALCOHOL AND ADDICTION RESEARCH. Our training grant has been supported by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) since 2002 (T32AA013625; see more here). Positions are available through both the NIH training grant (only US citizens and permanent residents can be considered) and the University of Missouri (no residency limitations).
Research mentors include:
- Mary Beth Miller – Health Intervention & Treatment Research Lab (see HIT lab website)
- Sean Lane – Regulation of Emotion, Addiction, and Conflict Trajectories (see REACT lab website)
- Denis McCarthy – Alcohol Cognitions Lab (see website)
- Brett Froeliger – Health Neuroscience Center (see website)
- Bruce Bartholow – Social Cognitive and Addiction Neuroscience Lab (see SCAN lab website)
- Ian Gizer – Gene Brain Behavior Relations Lab
- Clint Davis-Stober – Behavioral Decision-Making Lab (see website)
- Tim Trull – Personality and Emotion Lab (see website)
- Doug Steinley – Multivariate Statistics Lab, with primary interest in cluster analysis and social network analysis
Postdoctoral research fellows will undertake advanced training in addictions and pursue their own research interests under the supervision of one or more faculty mentors. The goals of the training program are (1) to support the individual development of diverse early career scientists who want to conduct addictions research; (2) to provide hands-on training in grant writing, data analysis, and research design; and (3) to foster collaborative relationships with addiction scientists and community stakeholders locally and across the nation. Positions begin summer 2023 and are available for up to 3 years of training. Fellowship stipends are decided by NIH and based on the status of the fellow; for example, fellows with no prior postdoctoral training start at $54,840 (more detail here).
