There are several training opportunities for individuals interested in conducting research in the USC-HEAL. Training is supervised by Dr. Adam Leventhal, the laboratory’s Director. Interested individuals should send an inquiry email directly to Dr. Leventhal at adam.leventhal@usc.edu
Postdoctoral Fellowships Postdoctoral research fellowships are available. Fellows will be involved in studies examining the role of psychosocial and biobehavioral factors in tobacco and stimulant addiction. Candidates should have strong research training in clinical psychology, experimental psychology, human behavioral pharmacology, or health behavior studies. Applicants should also have an interest in pursuing a career in addiction research but prior research experience in this area is not required. Fellowships provide mentored training in research as well as opportunities to participate in publishing, grant writing, and career development activities.
Graduate Student Research Assistantships Graduate student research assistantships are available to applicants to USC’s Health Behavior Research Ph.D. program. Applicants who are interested in addiction research are encouraged to apply to the Ph.D. program and contact Dr. Leventhal directly. Graduate student assistants work on studies examining the role of psychosocial and biobehavioral factors in tobacco and stimulant addiction. As part of the Ph.D. program, they are also expected to conduct independent research (including a dissertation) under the mentorship of Dr. Leventhal.
Undergraduate Student Research Assistantships Undergraduate research assistantships are available to students in the USC’s Health Promotion B.S. program. Assistantships are available as part of an HP 290 or 490 Directed Research Course or can be done on a volunteer basis. Qualified undergraduate students from other majors are also welcome to do a volunteer assistantship. Assistants work on studies examining the role of psychosocial and biobehavioral factors in tobacco and stimulant addiction. Undergraduate assistantships are a great way to gain initial exposure to research in preparation for graduate school. Students from other programs within USC and at other institutions are also welcome to apply.
