Abstract: The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), has created a postdoctoral research fellowship to advance scientific understanding of the linkages between drug abuse and HIV while fostering multinational research. This program will provide rigorous postdoctoral research training with a mentor who is an expert in HIV-related drug abuse research at a leading research institution. The fellowship award requires full-time and continuous engagement for the duration of the award. The program is restricted to non-U.S. nationals and non-U.S. residents, and to candidates who have at least eight years post-doctoral research experience.
