Columbia University Psychiatric Epidemiology Training Program
announces openings for pre- and postdoctoral fellows beginning
September 2014. The program provides social scientists,
epidemiologists, psychologists, and psychiatrists with research skills
in psychiatric epidemiology.



The mission of the program is to equip new generations of pre- and
postdoctoral fellows with the skills and vision needed to
conceptualize, measure, and test ideas about psychiatric disorders
that will advance the field in both incremental and ground-breaking
ways. To fulfill this mission, we emphasize a framework for
investigating the etiology, course, and consequences of mental illness
that highlights the dynamic interplay of multiple levels, that is, a
person (biology, psychology), in context (family, social network,
neighborhood, workplace, society) through time (person and contextual
change).



Training involves coursework in substantive issues and research
methods, and participation in an affiliated research unit.
Postdoctoral stipends range from $39,264 to $54,180, depending on
years of experience.  Pre-doctoral stipends are $22,032. Application
deadline: December 1, 2013. Contact: Training Coordinator, Columbia
University, Mailman School of Public Health, 722 West 168th Street,
Room 720-B, New York, NY 10032; e-mail: PET at columbia.edu. Columbia
University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer.
