Postdoctoral Program in Drug Abuse Treatment and Services Research, University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)
Traineeships in drug abuse treatment and services research are available in the UCSF Department of Psychiatry in a large, active, multidisciplinary research environment that is supported by multiple research projects and center grants. Scholars work with a preceptor to design and implement studies. The focus is on treatment and services research in drug dependence, including tobacco dependence. Scholars also select an area of focus for independent research.
Current research interests of faculty include trials of efficacy and effectiveness of psychosocial and pharmacologic treatment of drug abuse, including tobacco dependence; innovative methodology including internet based studies; treatment of complex patients in non-traditional settings; research on treatment tailored for HIV-positive drug abusers and drug abusers with psychiatric and medical disorders; research on provision of services to drug abusing populations; human genetics and nicotine; instrument development in drug abuse; and diagnostic techniques.
Successful applicants include psychologists with strong scientific backgrounds; scholars with backgrounds in epidemiology, methodology, nursing, psychiatry, health policy, pharmacology, public health, and social work; and basic scientists who wish to learn the skills needed to translate their work to treatment and clinical issues. Stipends are funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Preceptors are encouraged to supplement stipends from non-NIH sources. A priority of the department is the training of women and minorities for academic research careers. The priority application filing period closes January 15, 2008 but application packets received before this date can be reviewed for earlier placement. If the program has additional openings, application packets will be accepted after this date. Placement decisions are made February through May.
