Overview: The Center for Mental Health Services Research at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work, Washington University in St. Louis (WashU), invites applications for postdoctoral training in mental health services research and implementation science. The program is supported by a National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Training Grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH – T32 MH19960).
Program Details: Our program aims to expand the pool of investigators capable of undertaking mental health services and systems research with focus on the implementation of evidence-based mental health care, globally or domestically. The program provides multidisciplinary training for up to two years. A mentoring team is established for each post-doctoral scholar to guide their development as a researcher and authorship of independently funded research proposals. Training also includes:
- Faculty mentorship for planning and developing the candidate’s own publications and research, in addition to developing and submitting rigorous grant proposals to NIH and other funders.
- Collaborating with CMHSR faculty on NIH-funded projects.
- Contributing to the scientific infrastructure and knowledge-based resources of the CMHSR, the WashU Dissemination and Implementation Research Core, and the Center for Holistic Interdisciplinary Research in Psychedelics (CHIRP). There are numerous opportunities to become involved in dissemination and implementation science at WashU. For more details, please see our campus-wide website for dissemination and implementation science.
Stipend levels and benefits will follow those established by NRSA. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis, subject to award availability.
Applicants:
- PhD or MD level, from such fields as social work, psychology, health services, organizational psychology, nursing, anthropology, public health, economics, or management.
- U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States at the time of award; citizenship eligibility is found here.
Application process:
The following materials are required for application to the postdoctoral program:
- Letter of application, outlining research goals (Three pages max)
- Up-to-date curriculum vita
