Capacity Building Inside SMART Africa

The T37 LEAD Global Fellowship Program accepting applications

The T37 LEAD Global Fellowship Program is accepting applications for a 1 to 2-year postdoctoral fellow. The LEAD Global Fellowship supports trainees from underrepresented groups committed to conducting health disparities research, with a specific focus on global mental health prevention, intervention, services, and implementation research within resource-constrained settings. Eligible candidates should be a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national, or permanent resident, and be from a disadvantaged or underrepresented population in biomedical, behavioral, clinical & social science research as outlined by the NIH.

The postdoctoral fellow will be in residence at Washington University in St. Louis. The postdoc will engage in writing publications using study data and proposal development to explore new opportunities related to HIV/AIDS or global mental health disparities. The postdoctoral fellowship also includes a summer training program at Washington University and 6-8 weeks of mentored research at a Sub-Saharan Africa study site with a current NIH-funded Mental Health Intervention.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and can be completed on the T37 LEAD Global Fellowship website at https://sites.wustl.edu/lead/apply/. For more information, contact Betsy Abente at eabente@wustl.edu
