We have four fellowship positions available through two different tracks.



Track 1 (T32): Two positions are available through our NIMH funded T32, The Academic-Community Experience (ACE): A postdoctoral training fellowship in implementation science to promote mental health. Each T32 fellow will be assigned one of the following mentors, depending on their interests: Rinad Beidas, PhD, Hilary Bogner, MD, MSCE, Dianne Chambless, PhD, David Mandell, ScD, Steven Marcus, PhD, or David Oslin, MD. The primary responsibility of the T32 fellow is to develop an independent research agenda.


Track 2 (Project postdocs): Up to two positions are available through our portfolio of NIMH funded projects, including a P50 on the intersection of behavioral economics, participatory design, and implementation science (PIs: Rinad Beidas, PhD; David Mandell, ScD; and Kevin Volpp, MD, PhD); and an R01 (PI: Rinad Beidas, PhD), which is determining the best ways to accurately and cost-effectively measure fidelity to cognitive behavioral therapy in community mental health for youth with psychiatric disorders. The primary responsibility of project fellows are to assist with the scientific administration of these projects; as well as develop their own independent research agenda.
Please indicate to which track you are applying. You may choose more than one. Please reach out to Rinad Beidas at rbeidas@upenn.edu with questions.
