The Center for Weight, Eating and Lifestyle Science (WELL Center;
drexel.edu/wellcenter)
is currently recruiting several postdoctoral fellows in the areas of adult and adolescent
obesity, eating disorders, and health-related behavior change for 2024. The research
postdoctoral fellowship positions are NIH-funded and include work on NIH-funded clinical
trials under Drs. Butryn, Forman, Juarascio, and/or Manasse. They offer ample
opportunities for, and training/mentoring in, manuscript writing, grant writing, the use
of innovative technology and methodology, and leadership roles. The positions are flexible
depending on the interests of the postdoctoral fellow, and considerable attention will be
devoted to developing the fellow’s line of research including the planning and execution
of an independent project and the submission of independent grant proposals. Pilot study
funding will be provided. As a result of fellowship activities, training, and mentorship,
fellows will be highly competitive for tenure-track and research faculty positions
(including at the WELL Center), NIH Loan Repayment Program and for NIH training grants
(e.g., F32s, K23s). Research fellows who wish to receive supervised clinical hours for
psychology licensure are typically able to. The clinical postdoctoral fellowship position
will provide mandated hours and supervision for state licensure purposes. Details of both
positions are provided in the attached PDF.
Best regards,
Nikoo
