Applications for the Neurodevelopmental T32
Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program at
Boston Children's Hospital are open!
https://rsztnc.org/fellowships
Postdoctoral research fellowships: Two year fellowships funded by the National Institute of
Mental Health (NIMH) are available for MD, PhD, MD/PhD applicants from the fields of
psychiatry, psychology, pediatrics, neurology, genetics, neuroscience, developmental biology,
computer science and related fields who seek to improve or expand their ability to conduct
interdisciplinary-translational research in neurodevelopmental disorders.
Trainees accepted into the postdoctoral training program will work collaboratively with two
program mentors (one preclinical and one clinical), who will help to define, enhance and
monitor the trainee’s research program and career trajectory. The training program also offers
various didactic courses and activities (e.g., workshops on research methods and grant writing,
journal club and career lunches) to promote professional development.
This program has an outstanding success rate for training postdoctoral fellows who go on to
become highly productive independent researchers. Creative, energetic and dedicated
candidates are particularly encouraged to apply, as are candidates from backgrounds typically
underrepresented in higher education.
Submissions for this recurring application cycle are collected through the end of March, with
the expectation that trainees will be selected in May and will start in August. In order to be
eligible for this role, applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents with an MD
and/or PhD (must be completed at the time training begins). Commitment to the goals of the
program and strong academic and research credentials are important criteria used in the
selection process.
