Become an APA Congressional or Executive Branch Fellow! 

 

Ever wondered what it would be like to work in Congress or at a federal agency? Want to expand your public policy knowledge and skills? APA's Congressional and Executive Branch Fellowships prepare psychologists to contribute to the federal policy making process and make a difference on issues impacting our society. Consider applying today! 

 

WHAT TO EXPECT? Fellows spend one year in Washington, DC working with a member of Congress, congressional committee, or a federal agency learning how to draft legislation, gain knowledge about the federal regulatory process, manage grant programs, conduct oversight work, and prepare briefs and speeches. Fellows also attend a two-week orientation program on congressional and executive branch operations and participate in a yearlong seminar series on science and public policy issues. All fellows receive a stipend and reimbursement for health insurance coverage, professional development, and relocation expenses during the fellowship year. 

 

HOW CAN I APPLY? Fellowships are open to all full APA members. Submit your application by January 30, 2023. 

 

Applications are now being accepted. Learn more about each fellowship and apply below!

[#DIV28SUPER] post doctoral fellowship at UCSF

The University of California, San Francisco is accepting applications to its NIDA-funded two-year postdoctoral research training program. Scholars work with a preceptor to design and implement studies on treatment of substance use disorders, including nicotine, cannabis, alcohol, opioids, and other substances. Scholars also select a specific area of focus for independent research. Current research interests of faculty include trials of efficacy and effectiveness of psychosocial and pharmacologic SUD treatment, including:

1. Substance use disorders including cannabis, tobacco, alcohol, and opioids
2. Innovative methodology, including internet-based studies
3. Treatment of complex patients in health care settings
4. Diagnostic techniques and research on treatment tailored for HIV-positive substance users and those with psychiatric and medical disorders
5. Research on provision of health services to substance-using populations
6. Instrument development in substance use treatment

A variety of university-affiliated and community substance use treatment programs are available as research sites. These include inpatient- and outpatient-setting programs that treat dependence on stimulants, cannabis, nicotine, alcohol, and opiates. Our training program encourages close research involvement with a preceptor, and involvement in selected classes, seminars, and grant preparation. 

For further information, please contact either Derek Satre, PhD, at Derek.Satre@ucsf.edu or Janice Tsoh, PhD, at Janice.Tsoh@ucsf.edu.
