I am recruiting a new doctoral student for next academic year to work with us at the University of Florida on our research concerning etiology (particularly domains of impulsivity and related constructs) and new interventions with a focus on technology-based approaches to reduce alcohol use and prevent HIV/enhance sexual health behaviors. Young adults are our primary (though not exclusive) focus. The doctoral degree our department confers is in Health and Human Performance with a concentration in Health Behavior. Our program is a good fit for a student with strong interests in behavioral science with a health (mainly addiction, in this case) focus for whom clinical training is NOT a priority as our department does not provide clinical training.
All admitted students receive a tuition waiver and stipend for at least 4 years.
The University of Florida is growing at a fast pace and is now the #7 state university in the U.S., according to U.S. News & World Reports. Addiction research is a great strength at UF with multiple relevant centers and outstanding collaborators at all faculty levels.
Please circulate to any students who might be interested and do not hesitant to be contact Robert F. Leeman, Ph.D., robert.leeman@ufl.edu, with any questions.
Resources are available for those struggling with addiction and numerous effective treatments exist. Whether you are looking for help for yourself or a loved one, we encourage you to seek out help.
