Postdoctoral Research Fellowship inTranslational Neuroscience
|
|
Fellowship Description:
|
The Rhode Island Hospital Department of Psychiatry; the Office of VP Research, Lifespan Hospitals; the Brown University Institute for Brain Science; and the Norman Prince Neurosciences Institute are seeking candidates for a Postdoctoral Research Training Fellowship in Translational Neuroscience. This interdisciplinary full-time fellowship provides research training for an M.D., Ph.D., or M.D.-Ph.D. postdoctoral fellow in both basic and clinical neuroscience in an area of interest to the fellow. The fellowship emphasizes integration of training in basic science research with training in clinical research on psychiatric disorders. The goal of the program is to prepare postdoctoral fellows for a successful independent research career in translational neuroscience. The duration of the fellowship is two years, contingent upon satisfactory progress in the first year.
This fellowship is at the vanguard of a collaborative effort among three centers of excellence at Brown that are dedicated to understanding and treating brain disease. The Rhode Island Hospital/Brown University Department of Psychiatry is a nationally recognized department with research focused on mental health, addiction, and the biological basis of behavior and psychopathology. The Brown Institute for Brain Science (BIBS) promotes interdisciplinary research relevant to higher brain function across the University, including the hospitals affiliated with the Alpert Medical School. With over 100 faculty members from 15 different departments, BIBS emphasizes three broad areas of research excellence – fundamental neuroscience, brain health, and neurotechnology. The newly created Norman Prince Neuroscience Institute at Rhode Island Hospital focuses on translational research. It is being built in collaboration with BIBS to create multidisciplinary, inter-institutional teams focused on attacking diseases and disorders related to brain development and brain aging and on applying new technologies to restore lost brain function.
Responsibilities: The postdoctoral candidate is expected to 1) collaborate with one clinical and one basic science senior mentor on research projects and activities; 2) develop an independent, multidisciplinary research project in the field of neuroscience as it relates to mental health; and 3) participate in didactic activities, manuscript preparation and submission, presentation of research findings, grant writing, and relevant clinical activities.
Qualifications: Applicants must have an M.D. with completed residency training in psychiatry or a Ph.D. in psychology, neuroscience, or a basic science area relevant to the fellowship goals. Individuals with an M.D.-Ph.D. are welcome to apply if additional training would add value to their prior training.

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.

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 health 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.

The GCD training program offers an individualized, state-of-the-art education in genetic epidemiology, statistical epidemiology and statistical analysis of psychiatric and other complex diseases. The program is open to doctoral candidates in related fields such as Biostatistics and Epidemiology, and postdoctoral MDs, PhDs, and DrPHs. The goal of our training program is to produce well-rounded scientists who have achieved a high level of competence in a broad array of techniques, who understand the value and rewards of collaboration, and who are fluent in the technical vocabularies of colleagues from other disciplines.
Coursework targets phenotype definitions, molecular laboratory issues, statistical analysis, data collection, and the clinical manifestations of diseases associated with genetic mutations. In addition to required courses, and in consultation with the GCD faculty, students can supplement their education by selecting from a variety of advanced courses and lab rotations. Regularly scheduled seminars provide an opportunity for students to present their work, and to learn from experts in a variety of fields. Students will design, conduct, prepare a manuscript and present the finding of an individual research project in preparation for their future as scientific leaders of this rapidly emerging field.
