Job Description
The mission of this new NIDA training program will be to provide personalized and rigorous training to postdoctoral fellows who plan careers at the intersection of substance use and chronic pain. Fellows will conduct human clinical research on substance use disorder and pain. BUILD-UP is specifically designed to support fellows from diverse backgrounds, including people who identify as being from a group excluded based on ethnicity and race, being from a disadvantaged background, having a disability, or being LGBT+. We will also recruit individuals from a variety of training backgrounds.
BUILD-UP fellows will be mentored on a longitudinal research project by experts in the field and will participate in a comprehensive curriculum based on core clinical and translational science competencies. A critical and innovative aspect of BUILD-UP is that the 3-year program provides the option of in-person or virtual participation as a means of promoting equity by removing the barriers presented by having fellows move to a research hub.
