Postdoctoral Fellowship Positions in Sexuality and Gender Research in HIV Infection
Focus: The HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies at Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute sponsors postdoctoral fellows in the area of sexuality and gender research in HIV infection.
Setting: The HIV Center is a large interdisciplinary research program on behavioral aspects of HIV (and other sexually transmitted infections) with a special emphasis on sexuality and gender. Among the many ongoing projects are studies on the determinants and contexts of sexual behavior in various adolescent and adult populations, on the prevention of sexual risk behavior, and on HIV treatment adherence. Both qualitative/ethnographic and quantitative methodologies are being applied.
Eligible applicants: Best suited for these positions are applicants with interdisciplinary research interests and appropriate research training in psychology or related behavioral and social sciences. The program also accepts applications from persons with medical training. Applicants must have obtained their doctoral degree (Ph.D., M.D. or other) by the time of their appointment. Fellowship is open only to U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents.
Funding of postdoctoral fellowships: Fellowships are funded through the Behavioral Sciences Research in HIV Infection Training Program (Directors: Anke A. Ehrhardt, Ph.D., and Theo Sandfort, Ph.D.). The program provides an opportunity for fellows to receive intensive training in human sexuality research as applied to HIV prevention and HIV-related health interventions. This is an NRSA institutional training grant that provides up to three years of support for fellows. Tuition support is available through a partnership with the Mailman School of Public Health for concurrent matriculation in a Master of Science degree program in Biostatistics.
Timetable for applications: Positions to begin July 1, 2007. Anyone interested in the Fellowship Program can begin the application process by downloading (from http://www.hivcenternyc.org/training/nrsa.html), completing, and emailing the application form with a current Curriculum Vitae to postdoc@pi.cpmc.columbia.edu. Further information about the program will then be mailed to all eligible applicants, along with instructions for completing the application process (including writing a personal statement and sending letters of recommendation). The complete, final application packet must be received by the HIV Center no later than February 1, 2007. Applicants are urged to send the initial application early enough to allow themselves ample time to receive, complete, and mail in the final application packet.
More information about the HIV Center and the Training Program can be found on the HIV Center’s Website (www.hivcenternyc.org). We are an equal opportunity employer.
