[Jobs] Postdoctoral Research Training in Comorbidity Science

[Leora Lawton]

*NIDA T32 Postdoctoral Training Opportunity at the University of Minnesota *

*Comorbidity: Substance Use Disorders and Other Psychiatric Conditions*

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) funded Postdoctoral Training
Program (T32) at the University of Minnesota is focused on the comorbidity
of substance use disorder (SUD) and other psychiatric conditions. The
program is a collaboration of the Department of Psychiatry (Medical
School), Department of Biobehavioral Health and Population Sciences
(Medical School) and the Department of Psychology—Clinical Science and
Psychopathology Research Program (Graduate Studies). Biobehavioral Health
and Population Sciences is located on the Duluth campus of the Medical
School, and the campus has a unique and long standing mission in American
Indian and rural health. A distinct emphasis of the Postdoctoral Training
Program traineeship housed at Biobehavioral Health and Population Sciences is
to diversify the biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences
workforce through increased participation of talented individuals from
underrepresented racial and ethnic groups; individuals with disabilities;
and individuals from economically, socially, culturally, or educationally
disadvantaged backgrounds. We are dedicated to training exceptional early
career scientists from diverse backgrounds who seek to conduct rigorous
transdisciplinary scientific inquiry across a broad range of possible
emphases, research environments, methods, and areas of focus. The
postdoctoral fellows based on the Duluth campus will have opportunity to
work with research mentors whose current funded NIH research includes CBPR
projects with Indigenous communities exploring SUD comorbid with stress,
mental health conditions, and diabetes (Melissa Walls) and with suicide
risk (James Allen), along with current funded NIH research exploring
comorbidity with stress and stress biomarkers, khat use and mental health
conditions, and SUD comorbidity in global health settings (Mustafa
al’Absi). Finally, the newly formed Rural and American Indian Health Equity
Medical Discovery Team, a $12 million research initiative at the University
of Minnesota Medical School, Duluth campus, is bringing new projects and
new research infrastructure to the campus. Duluth campus based fellows also
collaborate with other T32 fellows on the Twin Cities campus, where they
can also participate in training opportunities with the other two
collaborating departments. Candidates may contact James Allen (*jallen at umn.edu
<jallen at umn.edu> *) for additional information on opportunities on the
Duluth campus. Successful applicants will have doctoral degrees, (e.g. MD
or PhD) and appropriate research experience in behavioral science,
medicine, neuroscience, psychology or closely allied disciplines.
Candidates should submit a letter of interest (no more than 1 page), CV,
list of three references, and PDF’s of up to 3 relevant publications if
available, as email attachments to *all *application committee members
listed below:*Matt Kushner PhD, (**kushn001 at umn.edu
