The Northwestern University Adolescent Development and Preventive Treatment (ADAPT) program is seeking applications for a postdoctoral fellow.   · We are looking for someone with interests in adolescent development and risk for psychopathology.   · Prior psychosis research and assessment experience is welcomed but not required- roots in clinical science and interests in human development are the priority. Currently we are running a number of protocols with typically developing, prodromal syndrome and early psychosis populations focusing on biomarker, treatment, and scale development. Join our team and be involved with collecting and writing up data from any and all of these great and innovative multimodal studies.  Please see our website for more details:  http://www.adaptprogram.com . The successful applicant will join Vijay Mittal and an active research team and will be responsible for designing experiments, analyzing and processing data, and publishing/presenting findings. There will also be ample opportunities for advanced training (Northwestern has a number of in-depth training opportunities, covering a range of methodological and quantitative methods), collaborations (benefit from a number of active ADAPT lab collaborations), building mentorship experience (learning to direct and supervise research and career development for graduate students), and developing an independent research program.  Significant attention will be placed on career development (e.g., regular conference attendance/participation, training in grant writing, peer review, mentorship, teaching, presentations/job-talks etc.)  This is an ideal position for someone interested in preparing for a tenure-track job.  For questions or to submit and application, please contact Vijay Mittal ( vijay.mittal@northwestern.edu ).  Applicants should send a C.V., brief letter describing interests and prior experience (note preference for which position you are applying for), and two publications (that best reflect contributions of the candidate).  Salary is based on the NIMH Post-doctoral scale, and funding is available for up to two-years (appointments are for one year, but renewable for two years, based on progress/merit).  There is a flexible start date (from June 15- Fall 2019) and review of applications will begin immediately!

The Alcohol Research Group, in association with the University of California Berkeley, School of Public Health, is currently accepting applications for two-year postdoctoral fellowships sponsored by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) for research training in alcohol studies. Fellowships at ARG provide research training in the study of alcohol use and problems, and are oriented toward the pursuit of basic and applied socio-behavioral and epidemiological research.  Training focuses specifically on study of the prevalence, distribution, etiology, and treatment (both formal and informal) of alcohol use disorders and related problems.  However, some focus is devoted to drug use and drug-related problems.  Health disparities are a central theme of both our training program and ARG broadly. Current NIH annual stipends range from $50,004 to $54,756, depending on experience, along with health insurance and travel funds.  Additional employment is often available. Applicants must be either a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident in order to apply.  Please visit out website at http://www.arg.org/training  for more information about our training program and how to apply.
