The Brown University Center for Alcohol & Addiction Studies (CAAS) is recruiting postdoctoral fellows for two (T32) training programs funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). We will appoint 1-5 scholars for 2-3 years, starting June 1 to September 1, 2026. The fellowship emphasizes that intervention should be guided by sophisticated and fully developed theory that considers biological, social, and cultural influences and contexts. We also stress the importance of integrating theory, research, and the latest technologies to advance prevention and intervention strategies across development. Distinctive features of our program include its interdisciplinary nature, focus on training in early intervention and treatment along a continuum with attention to crucial health disparities, and emphasis on highly individualized training opportunities to develop competitive grant applications.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and hold a doctoral degree at the time the fellowship begins. Candidates from underrepresented backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply.

Applications will be reviewed starting on February 13 with a rolling admissions process thereafter. Reviews will continue until positions are filled. For more information, visit our website or email Daniel Wiffin at Daniel_wiffin@brown.edu.
