Post Doctoral Trainee Opportunities in Translational and Transformational

Research to Improve Outcomes for Persons with Disabilities

The Department of Disability and Human Development, University of Illinois at

Chicago is inviting applications from qualified candidates in any relevant

discipline for postdoctoral research training experiences in research to improve

health, employment, and community engagement and participation outcomes for

persons with disabilities. This interdisciplinary post-doctoral program

emphasizes preparing scholars to conduct research that has real world impact..

The training program includes: a) didactic preparation, close mentoring by

highly qualified researchers, c) immersion in ongoing research, and d) field

placement in carefully selected programs or organizations where employment of

disabled persons is being addressed. Trainees undergo a structured and

closely-supervised training process with a range of opportunities for didactic

and experiential training and with common expected milestones. Each trainee's

program will be individually designed to assure that the trainee has access to

the most rigorous and relevant concepts and research methodologies for his/her

chosen focus for studying vocational needs, services and outcomes.

Applicants must have received their Ph.D. or M.D. degrees within the past four

years. The length of the fellowship experience will vary. Ordinarily, it will

be for one to two years. Trainees receive a competitive salary and full

benefits, tuition support for any courses taken and a modest travel budget.

Applicants should submit a curriculum vita and three reference contacts. Copies

of relevant publications and a brief statement of research experience and

research goals must be provided for full consideration.

The appointments can begin any time.
