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 (T32AA

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 are available for up to 3 years of training.

Base stipends for these fellowships are determined by NIH and based on the status of the fellow (more detail here ). Additional salary support (up to 25% of base stipend) may be available, based on training and expertise of the fellow.
