A Postdoctoral Fellowship in Research Training in Cardiovascular Behavioral Medicine is recruiting for the 2025-2026 academic year at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University and The Miriam Hospital in Providence, RI. This NIH-funded postdoctoral T32 research fellowship places trainees across multiple departments within Brown University and the Brown University Health system, including the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, School of Public Health, Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center, and the Center for Behavioral and Preventive Medicine.

This program trains postdoctoral fellows to become researchers who address behavioral problems related to cardiovascular disease. The primary focus involves developing researchers who have the expertise to a) advance the scientific understanding of behaviors associated with cardiovascular disease and b) develop effective interventions targeting these behaviors in order to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease.

Research training addresses the most prominent lifestyle risk factors for CVD, including but not limited to cigarette smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity. There is also an emphasis on addressing pediatric risk factors for cardiovascular disease, innovative technologies and methodologies to improve the impact and dissemination potential of research, and behavioral interventions for populations that are underserved and disproportionately affected by cardiovascular disease. The program recognizes that fellows from backgrounds underrepresented in the biomedical workforce may have unique needs, and we are committed to providing tailored support to promote their success. Candidates of all training backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
