The University of Michigan Addiction Center is seeking PhD and MD applicants for its National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)-funded T32 Postdoctoral Research Training Fellowship.
Housed within the Department of Psychiatry, the U-M Addiction Center leads numerous projects addressing the causes, prevention, course, clinical manifestations, and treatment of alcohol and other substance use disorders, as well as co-occurring conditions. U-M offers a strong methodological infrastructure and a highly collaborative research environment.
