Job Description
The Ellingson Lab is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow for a funded position to study how pain affects mood and alcohol use. This 5-year project is supported by an NIH/NIAAA R01 award. The postdoctoral fellow will apply and interpret data from laboratory-based pain induction to investigate whether age, inflammation, and chronic pain affect how pain relates to mental health outcomes. This position is well-suited for a recent graduate or postdoctoral fellow looking to gain experience for their research career in psychology, neuroscience, translational human subjects research, or other biomedical research.
Application instructions
Applicants must have:
• A PhD in psychology, neuroscience, behavioral genetics, or other related discipline.
• Familiarity with assessing laboratory-based protocols, such as pain induction procedures.
• Demonstrated skills in data analysis (R, SAS, or equivalent) and scientific writing (preferred).
