Department of Psychiatry
Postdoctoral Research Training in
Developmental Psychobiology
The Department of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado Denver is offering a postdoctoral research training program to
train M.D.'s and Ph.D.'s for research careers in developmental psychobiology,
with special emphasis on the development of maladaptive behavior. The Department
of Psychiatry has a long history of involvement in developmental research.
Within the Department, there is presently a multidisciplinary group of
investigators, the Developmental Psychobiology Research Group (or DPRG).
All of these researchers have a productive career involvement as independent
investigators of developmental research techniques, some of which are technologically
unique, and utilize a comparative approach to the problem of understanding
development. Subject populations have ranged from humans through nonhuman
primates to neuronal and glial cell cultures. Members of this group serve
as the faculty for this research training program. Because of its setting,
problems with clinical relevance are continually in the forefront.
Program
A two-year training program is offered which includes a Core Curriculum with
formal coursework to be completed by all trainees and individual research
in one or more faculty laboratories. The Core Curriculum of the training
program consists of seminar participation, coursework, and an introduction
to all Training Faculty and their research. The trainees completing this
program will be well-versed in the basic concepts of developmental psychobiology
and in a variety of research techniques. In addition, they will have completed
an independent research project in at least one laboratory.
For more information contact Linda Greco-Sanders, MPA, Program Manager
or Dr. Randy Ross, Program Director, 303-724-6203.
