Postdoctoral Fellowship
The Center for Neurobehavioral Development has filled the opening for the one-year 2009-2010 Post-doctoral Fellowship position funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Research Service Award: T32 MH73129
Fellowship
The fellowship is for a 1-year period, and must begin on or before July 31st, 2009. Confirmation of received Ph.D. and U.S. citizenship must be received prior to start date.
Background
This training program emanates from the Center for Neurobehavioral Development at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and is intended to promote interdisciplinary postdoctoral research training in the field of Neurobehavioral Development.
Fellows work with one of the designated training faculty members on research
programs that typically include other members of the Center to facilitate
training in interdisciplinary research. A list of training faculty can be
found here.
Training will be supplemented by proseminars, workshops, and colloquia at
the Center for Neurobehavioral Development. It is expected that
this program will enable junior researchers to integrate research and theory
on neurobehavioral development in the context of both basic and clinical
research. Underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply.
