"Postdoctoral Fellowships at the Brown University Center for Alcohol & Addiction Studies - PH 339"

The Brown University Center for Alcohol & Addiction Studies (CAAS) is recruiting postdoctoral fellows for two (T32) training programs funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). We anticipate appointing 2-6 scholars for 2-3 years, starting in June to September 2025. The fellowship emphasizes that intervention should be guided by sophisticated and fully developed theory that considers biological, social, and cultural influences and contexts. We also stress the importance of integrating theory, research, and the latest technologies to advance prevention and intervention strategies across development. Distinctive features of our program include its interdisciplinary nature, focus on training in early intervention, harm reduction, and treatment along a continuum with attention to crucial health disparities and promoting health equity, as well as an emphasis on highly individualized training opportunities to develop competitive grant applications.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and hold a doctoral degree at the time the fellowship begins. Candidates from underrepresented backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply.

Applicants should also submit a curriculum vitae and a 3-to-5-page description of their future research plans, including a specific aim they want to investigate along with the research methods they would use to achieve it, as well as how a postdoc at CAAS would assist them in achieving these goals. Applicants should also arrange for submission of 3 letters of recommendation through Interfolio. In order for candidates to receive full consideration, completed application packages must be received no later than December 1, 2024. Reviews will begin on December 4, 2024 and will continue until positions are filled. For more information, visit our website or email Daniel Wiffin at Daniel_wiffin@brown.edu.
