CORRECTION JOBS: RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP AVAILABLE IN DISPARITIES EDUCATION

This is an updated version of the posdoc announcement with the above heading.

POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS AVAILABLE. The University of Rochester Program of Research and Innovation in Disparities Education (PRIDE) prepares postdoctoral fellows in clinical psychology to engage in community based participatory research while providing advanced clinical training in an urban community mental health center. The fellowship aims to enhance trainees' clinical skills and knowledge base while addressing the unique developmental challenges faced by trainees who are in the midst of deciding whether to choose a career that is primarily clinically oriented or one that is primarily oriented toward research. Opportunities exist to network with nationally recognized leaders in disparities research and minority mental health as well as with local community leaders and organizers. Past trainees have gone into private practice or research positions. This is an excellent opportunity for ambitious self-starters who want to make a difference. These positions are partially funded by a grant from the NIMH (Paul Duberstein, PI). For further information visit our website: http://www.urmc.edu/smd/psych/educ_train.
