Description
The UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences’ Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences offers this NIDA-funded program for postdoctoral scholars studying treatment and services for substance use disorders, including nicotine, cannabis, opioids, and alcohol. Scholars work with faculty preceptors in university-affiliated and community treatment settings, progressing from mentor-designed studies toward independent research.
Faculty interests include psychosocial and pharmacologic treatments, digital interventions, screening in health care, treatment for justice-involved youth, and care within integrated health systems. The program emphasizes methodologically rigorous, clinically relevant, multidisciplinary research. Seminars, manuscript development, statistical training, and guidance on research ethics complement project work.
