Postdoctoral Fellowships – University of Florida

The NIDA-funded University of Florida (UF) Substance Abuse Training Center in Public Health T32 training program is currently accepting applications for postdoctoral fellowships to begin between now and May 2026. Directed by Dr. Linda Cottler and co‑directed by Dr. Sara Jo Nixon, the program is now in its 12th year and has a strong record of training diverse postdoc fellows for careers focused on population science and public health, emerging drug trends, surveillance, epidemiology, population science, big data, prevention, and interventions related to substance use and comorbidities.

Training includes seminars, writing groups, instruction in manuscript and grant preparation, and a mentoring mosaic of faculty across relevant disciplines. An annual travel allowance is offered to facilitate attendance at conferences, for scientific presentations and networking, in addition to funds available for training‑related expenses such as software. Postdoctoral fellows receive an annual stipend, based on prior postdoctoral experience and NRSA guidelines, plus health benefits for 2 years.

To be eligible for the T32, applicants must be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or noncitizen national.

We are currently reviewing applications for appointments to begin no later than May 2026. Questions should be directed to Ms. Tamara Millay  more information or to apply, please visit our website: (Use the "Apply for this Job" box below)./
