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. Postdoctoral fellows are supported by a long-standing NIDA T32 training grant (MPIs : Eric Strain, Justin Strickland, Elise Weerts) that can support up to 8 fellows per year. T32 grants are prestigious training programs funded by NIDA that provide postdoctoral fellows with a stipend for up to 3 years. Salary levels are competitive and established by the NIH. Support for travel to scientific meetings is also provided. Training opportunities at the BPRU are tailored to help postdoctoral fellows identify their preferred career path (e.g., academic, industry, government / regulatory) and often include experience conducting and managing Phase I, II, and / or III clinical trials.
Fellows receive research training in the clinical pharmacology of substance use including human laboratory drug administration studies and clinical treatment studies. Fellows benefit from experienced faculty and a NIDA-funded T32 training grant with a productive 40-year history and over 130 graduates.
BPRU encourages applicants with varied and diverse backgrounds in experimental psychology, preclinical science, cognitive neuroscience, brain imaging, social science, clinical pharmacology, social work, clinical psychology, and other disciplines to apply. Prior experience with human research or substance use disorders is not required to apply or be considered. We welcome persons from all disciplines and with all levels of experience who are interested in helping us achieve our mission of understanding and treating substance use disorders and value working within an interdisciplinary team of trainees and scientists.
