Graduate Research Training on Alcohol Problems

University of California, Berkeley

Alcohol Research Group (ARG), School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley. ARG is currently accepting applications for one and two-year postdoctoral fellowships sponsored by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) for research training in alcohol studies.  Fellowships are oriented toward basic and applied social science or epidemiological alcohol research and are not seen as appropriate for persons interested in clinical practice. Training emphasizes the epidemiology of alcohol consumption and alcohol use disorders (e.g. drink size, effects of moderate drinking, ethnic and gender differences, trends over time, validation of self-report), health services research (alcohol treatment, Alcoholics Anonymous, welfare and criminal justice systems, emergency rooms) and innovative statistical methodologies (geocoding and latent growth curve models).

Stipends range from $36,996 to $51,036 DOE. Partial health insurance and $1,200 travel budget are provided. Applications are accepted year-round. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents who have earned a doctoral degree or are within three months of filing.
