The UNC Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities (UNC-CIDD) is recruiting three (3) postdoctoral fellows, starting this summer, for our NIH-funded T32 Postdoctoral Research Training Program in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities, which is co-directed by Mark Shen and Ben Philpot. Our T32 program emphasizes research training in both the biological basis and clinical manifestations of neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs). Continuously funded by NICHD since 2001, it was one of the first programs in the U.S. to bring together multi-disciplinary postdocs to accelerate translational research on NDDs. The UNC-CIDD T32 program has trained over 65 postdoctoral fellows to date, many of whom have subsequently obtained NIH K-awards, Simons Foundation, Burroughs Wellcome, or other prestigious junior faculty awards, and started their independent labs at R1 universities.
This two-year program has an anticipated start date of July 1, 2026. The annual stipend for each trainee follows NIH guidelines based on years of experience
Interested candidates should read more about the T32 program, application instructions, and check eligibility (degree and citizenship) requirements at: https://www.med.unc.edu/cidd/training-education/research-training-opportunities/
Applications are currently being accepted and will be considered on a rolling basis. Candidates should email the Program Directors ( and ) their research interests/experience, and potential mentor(s) at UNC they are interested in applying to work with.
