Fellowship in Biopsychiatry and Neuroscience T32
The fellowship is a 2-year program that is aimed at training physicians, psychologists, and PhD scientists in conducting research towards the understanding of the biological underpinnings of mental disorders. The field of Neuroscience has evolved dramatically over the past 20 years. Methods are now available that enables one to study the living brain from a macroscopic to microscopic scale. Yet, we still have to learn so much about the neurobiological basis of mental disorders.
During the two years of fellowship, we bring together experienced faculty from the Department of Psychiatry and from the UCSD Campus to provide fellows with tools and techniques to ask compelling questions focused on the neurobiology of mental disorders. We aim to train fellows in improving their presentation skills, work on grant-writing and manuscript-writing, and suggest possible collaborations for future studies. The fellowship can be seen as a springboard towards an academic career in psychiatry. Many of our past fellows are currently in tenure-track academic positions across the country and we are looking forward to train the future leaders in the field of biological psychiatry.
Applications due annually in January – please contact the lab!

Training in Research on Addictions in Interdisciplinary NeuroAIDS (TRAIN) T32
Interdisciplinary Research Fellowship in NeuroAIDS (IRFN) is affiliated with the HIV Neurobehavioral Research Programs (HNRP) at the University of California San Diego (UCSD). The impetus for this educational program is driven by the idea that our future success in tackling the complex clinical disorders encountered in neuroAIDS depends on the availability of clinically-oriented researchers with training across relevant research disciplines. To this end, we have followed an interdisciplinary model of research training aimed at bridging the gaps left by single discipline approaches. Our program functions as a neuroAIDS-themed Special Institute emphasizing interdisciplinary and translational neuroAIDS research through three main programmatic components: an academic didactic program, a research component, and close mentoring by experts in the field, making available the talents of preclinical and clinically oriented neuroAIDS researchers at UCSD and the larger San Diego HIV research community. The IRFN provides each fellow with a structure for progression toward independence in order to consolidate their future success. Fellows will learn to approach neuroAIDS research questions from an interdisciplinary and translational perspective, with potential clinical applications as an essential end point of their work. The research experiences of IRFN fellows will be in the laboratories of high-caliber, internationally recognized neuroAIDS researchers.

Neuroscience Graduate Program (NGP)
The Neurosciences Graduate Program, at the University of California, San Diego, is an interdisciplinary, inter-institutional, student-centered, research training program leading to the only Neuroscience Ph.D. degree offered at UC San Diego. Our top-ranked program provides training to an extremely high-quality pool of graduate students who share the goal of becoming the next generation of neuroscience leaders at all societal levels. The program encompasses over 150 affiliated research faculty laboratories distributed across more than fifteen academic and clinical science departments at UC San Diego, the School of Medicine, The Salk Institute, The Scripps Research Institute, V.A. Medical Center, Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), and the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute. The program combines broad-based intellectual scholarship and training, with focused, cutting-edge research cultivating experimental design, quantitatively rigorous data analysis, problem solving, and communication skills, yielding a wide breadth of foundational understanding in the fundamental principles and practice of all neurosciences. Our program leads the way on campus for the recruitment and retention of diverse students. We guide the professional development of each student through intensive, personalized career advising, strong mentoring, and broad outreach and teaching opportunities. We provide unparalleled access to established world-leading research environments at all levels of discovery, exceptional young faculty, progressive curricula, and an outstanding record of placement for our graduates.
