Psychiatry and Development in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. Two - three year fellowships funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) are available for child psychiatrists, psychologists, neuroscientists, computer scientists, geneticists and researchers in related clinical or basic science fields who seek to improve or expand their ability to conduct interdisciplinary/translational investigation focused on child development and/or psychiatry.



Child Psychiatry clinical fellows can potentially combine the T32 training program with their clinical training over a 3-year period.



Postdoctoral projects can encompass basic and/or clinical research and might include investigation into one or more of the following areas: molecular or behavioral neurogenetics, neuroimaging, neurobiology, developmental psychopathology, endophenotypes associated with neuropsychiatric disorders, new diagnostic methods, outcomes research and intervention studies. Project proposals should clearly state the interdisciplinary and/or translational nature of the project. Fellows with M.D. and/or Ph.D. degrees conduct research during the program with mentors/advisors from the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences or a number of related departments or interdisciplinary programs including Pediatrics, Genetics, Psychology, Radiology, Engineering and Neuroscience.



This program has an outstanding success rate for training postdoctoral fellows who go on to become highly productive independent researchers. Creative, energetic and dedicated candidates are particularly encouraged to apply, as are candidates from backgrounds typically underrepresented in higher education.
