Fellowship Title: |
Research Fellowships for Clinicians in Translational Research in Neurobiology of Disease - with a broad focus on neural injury, neurodegeneration and neuroprotection |
|
Fellowship Description: |
Our NIH-funded T32 program provides 2-3 years of closely mentored research training for MDs or MD-PhDs who have finished clinical training in any clinical neuroscience specialty and desire to pursue academic careers as physician-scientists in laboratory-based translational research in the neurobiology of disease. Our program was designed specifically to lower the hurdles that aspiring clinician-scientists face as they attempt to navigate a difficult career path. Our program offers: full effort on research (while maintaining clinical skills); salary; advance acceptance; focus on networking; development of independent research project; help in applying for first independent funding award.
Most of the fellow's time will be spent in laboratory research, with up to ~ 20% time in clinical activities. Program includes formal didactic training in neurobiology of disease, translational research and professional skills. The core faculty represent 9 departments at Penn, with training in other Penn laboratories possible. Mentors will pay special attention to helping trainees network with colleagues and senior faculty active in translational research. Salary is on the NIH-level postdoctoral stipend commensurate with experience. Clinical departments may compensate for clinical work.
Research projects can be in any collaborative, translational area, focused broadly on neural injury, neurodegeneration and neuroprotection for acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases/disorders, and directed toward understanding genetic, molecular and/or cellular pathophysiology and the development of strategies for prevention, treatment, or cure.
Who can apply? MDs and MD-PhDs (or equivalent) who are within 2 years of finishing their clinical training in any clinical neuroscience specialty. US citizens, non-citizens nationals, permanent residents. Please feel free to contact us for more information. |

Fellowship Title: |
Translational Neuroscience and Molecular Biology of Psychoses |
|
Fellowship Description: |
New findings in molecular biology and neurobiology are being rapidly translated into new directions for the clinical investigation of schizophrenia. Trainees have dual experiences in basic and clinical investigation, with emphases appropriate to their backgrounds and career goals. Multidisciplinary training programs combine basic molecular biology and clinical genetics of schizophrenia, neurophysiology of drug response in humans and animal models, and parallel developmental studies in inbred mouse strains and in pregnancies of mothers who have schizophrenia. Clinical trainees thus have special opportunities to interact with basic scientists, and basic science trainees have direct access to clinical populations. |

Interdisciplinary Training in Psychiatry and Neuroscience |
|
Fellowship Description: |
The training program is jointly sponsored by the Department of Psychiatry and the Department of Neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The faculty members all have appointments in either of these two departments and have an established record of collaborative interaction. The research interests of the core faculty represent the major sub-disciplines of the neurosciences and biological psychiatry, including molecular and cellular neurobiology, developmental neurobiology, systems neurobiology, behavioral biology, neuroimaging, psychiatric genetics and neuropsychiatry. The primary vehicle for training is supervised research in a laboratory of one of the core faculty members combined with an organized didactic program in relevant aspects of neuroscience and psychiatric research methodology. The training program provides a unique opportunity for M.D.s and Ph.D.s to obtain training at the postdoctoral level in basic neuroscience research oriented toward clinical psychiatry. |

Fellowship Description: |
The purpose of this two or three year fellowship is to train psychiatrists and neurologists in clinical neuropsychiatry. Outstanding candidates may also qualify for additional fellowship training in cellular and molecular neurobiology. We seek candidates who have completed psychiatry or neurology residency training, and have a strong research interest in the biochemical basis of major neuropsychiatric disorders. Under certain circumstances, consideration will also be given to candidates who have successfully completed at least three years of psychiatric residency training and have a strong background in neuropsychiatry. |

Fellowship Title: |
Biological Sciences Training Program |
|
Fellowship Description: |
The primary focus of the Biological Sciences Training Program at Yale is to train postdoctoral fellows in biological and behavioral neurosciences relevant to mental illness and health. To attain this goal, the program recruits two groups of postdoctoral trainees: 1) psychiatrists, generally after competing two or three years of clinical residency; and 2) individuals with a Ph.D. degree in a basic science. To help fill a nationally recognized need, the aim of the program is to both increase the number of research psychiatrists with a grounding in basic biological sciences and to develop the interest of basic scientists in clinical problems as well as interdisciplinary aspects of their own basic research. Thus, the overall aim is to promote cross-fertilization between basic researchers and individuals who are experienced clinically. Extensive research collaborations between faculty members of the program further contributes to interdisciplinary training of the trainee. It is expected that trainees coming out of this program will be able to bridge the gap between basic and clinical neuroscience in psychiatry. |
