The University of Michigan Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention is recruiting outstanding early-career research investigators to join a cohort of postdoctoral fellows who are part of an NIH-funded T32 training grant, Firearm Safety Among Children and Teens (FACTS): Multi-Disciplinary Research Training Program.
Fellows will undertake an intensive post-doctoral training program for up to two years in which they will acquire core skills in research methods including analytic skill development, grant and manuscript writing, and project management through a combination of applied research and training on the prevention of firearm injuries.
The training program prepares fellows for research independence and an academic career. They will work closely with mentoring faculty to identify a research focus and develop a career development and mentoring plan.
The successful candidate(s) will have:
• Completed a doctoral degree program (MD, PhD, DrPH, EdD, or equivalent) by the starting date.
• Demonstrated commitment and interest in firearm injury prevention research.
• Research experience within any relevant discipline and work at any stage along the translational research spectrum or focused on any level within the socio-ecological model (individual, family, community, or policy).
• A strong desire to work with multi-disciplinary collaborators.
Note:
• Eligible applicants must be citizens, noncitizen nationals, or permanent residents of the U.S.
• This position is contingent on continued federal funding of the T32 program.
Compensation: Yes
