Pediatric Injury Research Training Program

The University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, is offering post-doctoral training in Pediatric Injury Research, with positions becoming available to start May 1-September 2027.

This training program is funded through a US National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) T-32 grant.

The goal of this training program is to further develop US postdoctoral fellows to specialize in the field of pediatric injury research. We define injury research broadly to include intentional violence and unintentional injury. Relevant research areas include elucidating the risk factors and causes of injuries, injury prevention strategies, acute and chronic care of patients with injury, outcomes from trauma, and interventions to return the individuals with injury and their families to their full potential. The program has an increased focus on the training of indigenous fellows and research on injuries among indigenous youth.

How to Apply

Priority Deadline: November 1, 2026.
