Program Description The UCSD Co-Occurring Disorders (COD) Program is seeking applicants for a one to two year post-doctoral scholar in co-occurring substance abuse and other mental disorders. The UCSD COD Program is a model of comprehensive integrated treatment. It originated as a SAMHSA funded Demonstration Project in 1997 and was among the first integrated treatment programs in the country. Research foci include study of attachment status, trauma, dissociation, neurocognitive and personality variables in COD etiology, course and outcome. Postdoctoral Duties and Responsibilities The scholar will play a central role in developing the research agenda
for the program and pursuing grant funding and will be intimately involved
in clinical research, delivery of clinical care, and program evaluation.
Split about 50-50 between research and clinical duties, the ideal candidate
will have a strong background in research methodology, writing and providing
clinical care to patients with addictions and/or severe mental disorders.

Postdoctoral Positions in Neuroscience in the Areas of Methamphetamine Dependence and Psychosis
A postdoctoral position is available immediately for work on a collaborative multidisciplinary project between Dr. Ron Kuczenski’s and Dr. Athina Markou’s laboratories.
This position will involve the study of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying methamphetamine dependence and neurotoxicity, and how excessive exposure to methamphetamine leads to psychotic-like states. Sophisticated in vivo and in vitro neurochemical techniques, including in vivo microdialysis, as well as behavioral techniques, including intravenous methamphetamine self-administration, will be used.
Applicants should have a strong background in neurochemistry, psychopharmacology and/or behavioral neuroscience, with an interest in drug dependence and psychiatric disorders. Experience with in vivo microdialysis, neurochemical analytical techniques, rodent survival surgery and/or intravenous drug self-administration are desirable but not required. The successful applicant will be a highly motivated individual with good communication skills, interest and experience in neuroscience, drug dependence and psychiatric disorders, and ability to work independently.
The applicant should have at least 2-4 first author publications accepted in quality peer-reviewed journals. The abilities to work independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary research team are essential.
Applicants that have their own postdoctoral funding or are USA citizens or permanent residents are strongly encouraged to apply.
For further information and to apply, contact Dr. Ron Kuczenski, email: rkuczenski@ucsd.edu.
To apply, please send:
(1) a short letter of intent outlining your suitability for the position
(2) a copy of your CV that includes the names and full addresses of three references
