[#DIV28SUPER] Postdoctoral Research Position at Duke University Medical Center

Sent on behalf of Dr. Maggie Sweitzer:

 

Postdoctoral Research Position, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC

A two-year postdoctoral research position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Maggie Sweitzer in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Duke University School of Medicine. The focus of our research is on examining neurobehavioral mechanisms underlying risk for tobacco dependence and relapse, and translating this information to develop more efficacious interventions. Our approach combines laboratory behavioral pharmacology, ecological momentary assessment, and functional neuroimaging to examine interactions between pharmacological effects of nicotine, key neural pathways, and real-world behavior. Much of our work examines vulnerability to addiction in the context of underlying risk factors, including psychiatric comorbidity, chronic pain, and exposure to childhood adversity. The ideal candidate would have a strong interest in pursuing an academic research career, with background in psychology, behavioral pharmacology, and/or neuroscience. Duke offers a highly collaborative environment with numerous opportunities for professional development. Co-mentorship with other faculty working with large-scale neuroimaging datasets (e.g., ABCD) may be available. In addition, opportunities for accruing hours and supervision toward clinical licensure may be available. Interested applicants should send a brief letter of interest and CV to Maggie Sweitzer (maggie.sweitzer@duke.edu).

 

Best,
