The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine invites applications for postdoctoral research fellowships at the Behavioral Pharmacology Research Unit (BPRU) within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Fellows receive research training in the clinical pharmacology of substance use including human laboratory drug administration studies and clinical treatment trials. Fellows benefit from experienced faculty and a NIDA-funded T32 training grant with a productive 40-year history and over 130 graduates. Fellows work closely with faculty mentors to gain practical research experience and develop as productive independent scholars.
Areas of Interest: This postdoctoral fellow will work with Drs. Matthew Johnson and Justin Strickland in a potentially wide range of topics that may include the behavioral economics of addiction (e.g., using demand analysis, discounting processes), the behavioral economics of other issues of public health significance, and tobacco regulatory science. A background in the quantitative analysis of behavior or behavioral economics, along with a strong philosophy of science is ideal. Other desirable skills include experience with longitudinal data analysis, programming, and/or modeling complex systems. This open position is funded by a NIDA-funded T32 training grant.
Eligibility: Eligible applicants must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and have completed doctoral degree requirements (e.g., PhD, MD, DO, PsyD) prior to starting at BPRU. Many backgrounds are appropriate, including experimental or clinical psychology, pharmacology, psychiatry or other medicine, neuroscience, nursing, public health, and social work. Prior experience with human or nonhuman research is appropriate. The BPRU is particularly interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of our research program. Applications from persons with disabilities, protected veterans, and persons underrepresented in science are strongly encouraged.
Start date: Flexible
