Responsibilities

This postdoctoral research fellowship will provide mentored research experience and prepare fellows for independent academic research careers. Fellows are expected to collaborate on established projects and are encouraged to conduct independent research with an emphasis on grant application, study inception, manuscript writing, and research dissemination.

For interested candidates, there are opportunities to gain additional training in research methods, statistical analysis, and leadership skills. Salary is competitive with excellent fringe benefits.
