UCLA POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS IN COGNITIVE AND AFFECTIVE
DYSFUNCTIONS IN THE PSYCHOSES
Our NIMH-supported postdoctoral research training program at UCLA
is
focusing on developing researchers who bridge between clinical
research
on psychotic disorders and cognitive and affective science and
neuroscience. NIMH fellowships for psychologists and
psychiatrists
are available. Opportunities for clinical research include work
with patients with schizophrenia or affective disorders.
Fellowships are available for individuals with a Ph.D. in clinical
psychology, psychopathology, cognitive psychology, cognitive
neuroscience, or affective neuroscience or an M.D. with
psychiatric
residency.
Integration of basic and clinical research is encouraged through
co-mentoring by clinical researchers and scientists focusing on
basic
research on cognitive and affective processes. Clinical research
mentors include: Robert Asarnow, Ph.D., Carrie Bearden, Ph.D.,
Michael Green, Ph.D., William Horan, Ph.D., Robert Kern, Ph.D.,
Stephen
Marder, M.D., Gregory Miller, Ph.D., Keith Nuechterlein, Ph.D.,
and Cindy
Yee-Bradbury, Ph.D. Basic scientist mentors include: Susan
