Training

This program supports three predoctoral and three postdoctoral fellowships.

Predoctoral fellows typically are full-time graduate students in the UVM Department of Psychology. The HBPL is fully integrated with the Department of Psychology; Dr. Higgins and Dr. Hughes hold joint appointments in the Departments of Psychiatry and Psychology.  The training period will be 4 to 5 years resulting in a Ph.D. in general/experimental or clinical psychology.

Postdoctoral fellows conduct independent research at one or more of the sites that make up the HBPL (see Facilities).  The training period is 2 to 3 years.

Individuals interested in pre- or postdoctoral fellowships at HBPL are encouraged to contact Director Stephen T. Higgins at Stephen.Higgins@uvm.edu, Department of Psychiatry, University of Vermont, UHC Campus, OH3-Mail Stop 482; 1 South Prospect Street, Human Behavioral Pharmacology Lab, Burlington, VT  05401-1419 (802-656-9600).
