Application Deadline: November 1, 2024
The National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center (NCVC) in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is seeking applications for its NIMH funded T-32 post-doctoral research training program, Basic & Translational Research Training in Traumatic Stress Across the Lifespan (T32MH018869). This program is in its 37th year of funding. We anticipate that ~2 fellows will be selected for the 2025-2026 year. The NCVC offers fellowship training for entry level and/or experienced clinical scientists to develop clinical research skills necessary to pursue an independent research career in the field of traumatic stress, with a particular emphasis on civilian trauma and its impact on mental health. Stipends follow NIH levels based on number of years post degree and will be supplemented with an additional $10,000. Successful applicants must have a strong commitment to a career in clinical/translational research and a doctoral degree in psychology, medicine, social work, public health, or similar field.
Applications must include: a) a ONE PAGE letter outlining the basis of your interest in the fellowship and goals for advanced research training in traumatic stress research (inclusive of long term career goals); b) an updated CV; c) any p/reprints (minimum of one) you feel would help to demonstrate your research proficiency; and d) a list of 3 names (and contact information) for individuals who may serve as references for your research and work. We are not requesting letters of recommendation at this time but may do so at a later date. In considering research interests and goals for the fellowship training, interested applicants are encouraged to review current NIMH research priorities: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/about/strategic-planning-reports/index.shtml. We strongly value science from diverse perspectives and encourage applications from women and underrepresented ethnic, racial, cultural, and sexual minority groups, and people with disabilities. T32 applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents (per NIH policy).
