[United States] NIA Training in Social Research on Applied Issues of Aging Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunities - University of Michigan
NIA Training Program Support This program emphasizes research methods appropriate to the study of aging, especially the conduct of research in applied settings from a multidisciplinary perspective. It examines the substantive and theoretical issues pertaining to determinants of successful aging. Its goal is to develop researchers who will contribute to the theoretical and empirical knowledge base for determining policy and programs that could enhance the well-being of older adults.
The major training occurs through involvement in ongoing research of faculty at the School of Social Work, the academic departments, and research centers of the University. In addition, there are ongoing research seminars for fellows and associated faculty, opportunities for supervision in the writing of articles for publication, and where appropriate, enrollment in courses such as the Institute for Social Research’s summer program in survey research and quantitative and qualitative methods (ICPSR). This NIA-funded postdoctoral training program at the University of Michigan School of Social Work may have 3 openings beginning between May 1, 2007 and Sept 1, 2007, pending renewal of grant.
The positions will be available for 12 months with the possible extension of a second year. This stipend is commensurate with experience, based on levels mandated by NIH ($36,996-$51,036).
