POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE

Deadline: February 1, 2006

The University of New Hampshire Family Research Laboratory (FRL) is soliciting applications for post-doctoral fellowships for research on family violence. These NIMH-funded, full-time positions are open to new and experienced researchers with doctorates in the fields of psychology, sociology, social work, law, nursing, public health and medicine. The fellowships are intended for work in the area of child abuse, marital violence, elder abuse, sexual abuse, child victimization, rape, homicide and other family-violence related topics with special attention to mental health impact. Scholars use the one-year fellowships (with possible one-year extension) to collaborate with FRL faculty on a current project, to work on one of the many data sets archived at the FRL or, in the case of senior candidates, to work on their own projects.

Fellows must be able to reside within commuting distance to UNH (one and a half hours from Boston). Annual stipends run from $35,568 to $51,036, depending upon number of years since receipt of doctoral degree. Applications from scholars with backgrounds in developmental or cognitive psychology, or interests in family violence in minority families, or families of persons with disabilities are particularly encouraged. Applications (FRL application form required from website (www.unh.edu/frl) letter of interest, curriculum vitae, three letters of recommendation and publications or work sample) will be accepted beginning immediately. For more information, contact David Finkelhor, Co-Director, Family Research Laboratory, (603) 862-1888; email: david.finkelhor@unh.edu. Complete applications should be sent to Program Administrator, Family Research Lab, Univ. of N.H., 126 Horton SSC, Durham, NH 03824. The University of New Hampshire is an equal opportunity employer.
