Family Research Consortium (FRC) IV
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Application Deadline: Postmarked by January 13, 2006
The Family Research Consortium (FRC) IV announces the availability of four (4), two-year postdoctoral positions beginning July 1, 2006. The program provides research training in theoretical, methodological, and substantive issues concerning transitions, family processes and mental health, and the burden of mental illness and psychiatric disorders, in ethnic/racial and socio-economically diverse populations. Four types of transitions are emphasized:
* life course, including biologically-rooted and stage-related change
* traumas, including loss and unusually stressful events
* geographical, including immigration and migration
* economic, including poverty and job change or loss
The training is multi-disciplinary in content, involves mentoring from a diverse faculty across the United States, and emphasizes multiple levels of investigation from the biological correlates of individual adjustment to the social context of family functioning. Each trainee will have a primary appointment at one of eleven (11) universities represented by Family Research Consortium IV faculty. Trainees will also be involved in the Summer Institutes held annually by the FRC IV, as well as research workshops, seminars, research initiatives, and coursework consistent with their professional objectives.
Descriptions of the FRC IV, postdoctoral fellowship program, faculty and research sites, as well as application forms, are provided on the website:

All eligible applicants must be either a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident.
