[#DIV28SUPER] T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Florida

Dear Colleagues,

Under the auspices of our T32 program (below), I am recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to contribute to our research on the etiology of alcohol misuse and sexual health behaviors and development and testing of new interventions (primarily e/m-health, primarily among adolescents/young adults) to reduce alcohol use and prevent HIV.  The University of Florida is an outstanding research and training environment in general, and particularly in addictive behaviors and HIV/sexual health research. Please share with other colleagues and any interested potential candidates.

My esteemed colleagues below would also be open to recruiting a postdoc to contribute to an array of projects in data science; cognition; epidemiology; biomarkers/sensor technology; relationships among effects of aging, alcohol use and/or HIV; the natural history/process of recovery; and many other areas.

While all postdocs will conduct research on alcohol and HIV during their fellowship, successful applicants need not have a substantial prior background in both areas.

Best,

Rob Leeman
