The Yale Postdoctoral Neuroimaging Sciences T32 Training Program, funded by the NIH/NIDA, is currently looking for postdocs interested. The program trains scientists in the technological aspects of data acquisition and analysis, the clinical and biological fundamentals in areas of interest to each trainee as related to substance abuse and dependence, the development of research proposals, and the generation of documentation to navigate today’s administrative requirements for imaging research. Positions open July 1 and they are typically for two years, but extensions are available.

Curriculum

The program is designed to last 2-3 years, and the purposes of the program are the following:

  1. Provide formal course training to postdoctoral fellows, with an emphasis on imaging and clinical research methodology of substance abuse research, and instruction in their underlying multidisciplinary sciences.
  2. Provide mentored training for fellows to apply these new methods to the interdisciplinary advance of our understanding of the function of the brain in substance use disorders.
  3. Provide an integrated research experience for fellows in both imaging and methodology of substance abuse research. All fellows will be expected to complete at least one research project with an applications and one with a methodology mentor during their training period.

Each fellow will work on two projects: one focused on methodology and one focused on an application in substance use. There will be two mentors, one for each of the projects, and it is the fellow's choice which will be the primary mentor and associated area of work. 

To ensure a solid background in neuroimaging and substance use disorders areas, there is a recommended core curriculum, with courses defined according to the choice of methodological or applications emphasis. For the methodological track those include methodology of PET, MRI, and MRS, including image processing; other courses are available, including statistics for clinical studies and pharmacokinetic modeling (which is one of the required courses for the applications track).
