POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN SUICIDE PREVENTION RESEARCH

The UR/CSPS is pleased to announce the availability of positions for postdoctoral training in suicide prevention research. The UR/CSPS postdoctoral training program is supported by an institutional National Research Service Award training grant from NIMH (Yeates Conwell, MD, Program Director). It provides up to three years of stipend support and related benefits for early career investigators committed to careers in suicide prevention research. Each fellow works closely with a primary mentor, takes courses and participates in a diverse array of CSPS research and training activities. Mentors and consultants are available from a wide range of experts both at UR and at other institutions around the U.S. and the world who are affiliated faculty of the UR/CSPS NIH-funded Developing Center on Public Health and Population Interventions for the Prevention of Suicide (PHP-Center).

The emphasis of UR/CSPS research is on the development and testing of interventions across the full spectrum of approaches to suicide prevention – universal, selective, and indicated. Faculty and fellows are currently engaged in projects that target populations across the life course.

Because the training program is supported by a grant from NIMH, to be eligible one must be a US citizen or permanent resident. Trainees with backgrounds in psychiatry or other relevant medical specialties, nursing, psychology, social work, or public health are best suited to this opportunity.

Applications require submission of a c.v., statement of career goals and interests, a sample of scholarly writing, academic transcripts, and three letters of recommendation by individuals familiar with the candidate’s academic performance.
