ANNOUNCEMENT OF POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS

The Carolina Consortium on Human Development at the Center for Developmental Science invites applications for NICHD (NRSA) postdoctoral traineeships. It is anticipated that several postdoctoral fellowships will be available. Positions are for one year, with renewal for a second year contingent on satisfactory performance. Advanced training will be provided in the study of individuals in changing contexts (e.g., families, peer groups, schools) using multiple levels of analysis ranging from biology to socio-cultural. The Center and Consortium faculty have primary appointments in over 20 departments or schools of six neighboring universities and colleges (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University, Duke University, and Meredith College), as well as several other collaborating research universities in the United States and abroad.

Fellowship candidates are expected to have a demonstrated commitment to interdisciplinary longitudinal study, and have must have completed a terminal degree in their field (e.g., PhD, MD, DrPH, EdD) by the time of their appointment. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents in accordance with NIH regulations.
