Postdoctoral Fellow: Sleep Disorders Research Full-time NEW
Postdoctoral Fellow: Sleep Disorders Research
Description: A post-doctoral fellowship is available at the University of Maryland, School of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine. The fellowship will provide advanced training and experience in sleep disorders research methods, with particular emphasis on data analysis, manuscript preparation and publication, and grant writing. This position will prepare fellows for positions in academia, government, or private industry.
This mentored fellowship provides advanced training in sleep and circadian research, with opportunities to contribute to observational studies, clinical trials, health services research, and implementation science. The fellow will have opportunity to perform secondary analysis of ample data from multiple studies and participate in multiple peer-reviewed publications. Conference presentations and first-author publications are expected and encouraged. In terms of this content area, prior experience with sleep research would be helpful but is not required.
Fellows with a clinical background may also receive training in sleep disorders evaluation and treatment; all fellows will receive training in professionalism, networking, and interdisciplinary team science. Finally, the fellow will gain meaningful experience working on a highly productive sleep research team that includes four full-time sleep research staff, multiple faculty collaborators, and an established PI with multiple extramurally funded sleep research projects currently underway.
Fellows receive a competitive salary and benefits. Partial tele-work is possible consistent with university policies. This fellowship is listed as a 1-year position, with expectations for additional years based on performance, funding availability, and mutual interest.
Qualifications:
This position requires excellent writing skills and a strong interest in collaborative research, scholarly publication, and grant development. Individuals with a PhD, ScD, or DrPH in medicine, psychology, nursing, related social/behavioral science, or epidemiology, public health, or a related field are encouraged to apply.

Applicants must be highly motivated, possess excellent communication, organizational, interpersonal, and time management skills. Only individuals one or more first-author publications and interest in independent research and extramural funding should apply.
