> PURPOSE: This postdoctoral program supports behavioral scientists
> <http://www.ndri.org/jobs/bstinfo.html#bsci>  who seek to expand their
> skills and publications, so as to develop careers in advanced research in
> the areas of drug use/ misuse and HIV/AIDS.
>
> THE RESEARCH AND TRAINING EXPERIENCE: Postdoctoral Fellows will develop
> knowledge of and skills in behavioral aspects of drug abuse research
> through
> hands-on experience and formal training. Working closely with senior
> project
> directors in New York city (see sponsoring organization
> <http://www.ndri.org/jobs/bstinfo.html#sorg> ), Fellows participate in
> on-going research and develop their own research projects. Examples of
> on-going projects include studies related to drug abuse and crime,
> intravenous drug use, HIV/AIDS, prenatal and maternal drug use, treatment
> of
> mentally ill drug abusers, teen drug use and psychosocial health, and
> evaluations of drug treatment programs. In-house training emphasizes field
> data collection, statistical analysis, computer use, program evaluation,
> professional writing for publication, proposal writing, policy-making, and
> the practical application of these skills. Fellows are encouraged to carry
> out research projects of their own choosing and submitting grant proposals
> for funding. In addition, Fellows may enroll at universities in the New
> York
> City metropolitan area to take advanced courses on drug abuse research,
> related substantive topics, and research methodologies as deemed necessary
> to round out their expertise. Postdoctoral fellowships will be awarded
> throughout the year on a rolling admission basis-see benefits
> <http://www.ndri.org/jobs/postdoc.html#ben>  and postdoctoral application
> <http://www.ndri.org/jobs/postdoc.html#papp> .
>
> POSTDOCTORAL BENEFITS: Fellows will receive an annual stipend based upon
> the
> number of years experience (see below) after completion of their doctoral
> degree, health insurance, tuition and fees, and a modest amount for travel
> and research-related expenses. Postdoctoral fellowship appointments are
> made
> for one year and are renewable for a second year, based upon satisfactory
> progress.

> POSTDOCTORAL APPLICATION: While it is not essential to have done research
> on
