Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship
<x-flowed>
POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN TRAUMATIC STRESS RESEARCH
The National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center (NCVC) at the
Medical University of South Carolina invites applications for its
NIMH-funded post-doctoral research training program. At least two, and
perhaps as many as three openings are anticipated in the summer/fall of
2003. The NCVC offers post-doctoral fellowship training for qualified
mental health professionals. The fellowship is open to entry level and
experienced professionals who want to develop research and clinical
expertise in understanding violent crime and other forms of civilian
trauma. The fellowship runs for one year with an opportunity for a
second year renewal. Stipends are based on NIH-designated levels.
Applicants should possess a strong commitment to the
scientist-practitioner model and must hold a doctoral degree in
psychology, psychiatry, social work, or similar field.
The NCVC fellowship training program is designed to produce
professionals skilled in a variety of research and clinical strategies
to investigate the psychosocial impact of traumatic events upon adults
and children. The program includes advanced clinical training in
cognitive-behavioral and family based techniques. Advanced research
training focuses on sexual assault, child abuse, domestic violence,
other violent crimes, natural disaster, urban violence, and other forms
of civilian trauma. The prevention, development, and resolution of
post-traumatic stress disorder, other anxiety disorders, depression,
substance abuse, and other post-trauma adaptations are examined. Program
activities include a strong preceptor system, seminars, clinical
intervention with adults, children, and families, participation in
existing funded research projects (e.g., family violence, child abuse,
sexual assault and other forms of violent crime, natural disasters,
urban violence), and the development of new research projects. The NCVC
faculty includes 10 doctoral level professionals. All faculty members
are energetic and enthusiastic participants in the fellowship training
program. The common interest of the faculty in various forms of
traumatic stress provides a basis for building strong research and
clinical programs. However, each faculty member also maintains unique
interests, particularly in the development of research programs. All
faculty welcome collaboration from post-doctoral colleagues within the
context of their research activities.
The NCVC is a division of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral
Sciences at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston,
South Carolina. It is also an Intervention Development and Evaluation
center of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network. These
affiliations complement the strong post-doctoral training available
through the NCVC fellowship.
Charleston is a lovely and historic ocean-side city with wonderful
things to do and see. Beaches, boating, fishing, golf, and other
outdoor amenities combine with a strong value of historic and
environmental preservation and a relatively low cost of living to
produce a wonderful place to live and work.
Applications must include: a) letter of interest from the applicant
outlining the basis of his or her interest in the fellowship and goals
for advanced training in traumatic stress research; b) recent cv; c) at
least three letters of recommendation; and d) any p/reprints you feel
would help to demonstrate your research proficiency.
For full consideration, by December 15, 2004 (letters may arrive later),
send application materials to:
