Overview
Funded by an Institutional Research Training Grant (T32) from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the UAMS Addiction Research Training Program is guiding the next generation of research scientists in an effort to overcome the overwhelming public health problem of drug addiction.
Our program supports predoctoral, postdoctoral, psychiatry residents, and medical student trainees.
We accept applications on a rolling basis for both predoctoral and postdoctoral T32 training positions. Applications are reviewed as they are received, and qualified candidates may be contacted to discuss their interests, eligibility, and potential training opportunities. Because positions become available at different times throughout the year, we encourage interested applicants to apply as early as possible
