Please see the announcement below for an exciting new post-doctoral opportunity at the Minneapolis VA:
*******
Dr. Gaugler,
I am the post-doctoral fellowship director at the Center for Chronic Disease Outcomes Research at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. We are currently recruiting for our 2011 fellow (typically starting in fall) and I thought I'd send this to you in hopes you might know a good candidate. This year, our ideal candidate would be someone interested in studying post-deployment health issues, which we broadly define as mental health, substance use disorders, physical disability and other chronic conditions veterans face due to the exposure to war. We are also keenly interested in the effects these conditions have on families and family caregivers of veterans and the care and support they provide. We would be very open to qualitative researchers, as well as those with strong quantitative skills, and to those interested in developing and testing treatment interventions. If you happen to know any doctoral students or recent graduates who might be interested in this fellowship, please feel free to have them visit our webpage to learn more (http://www.hsrd.minneapolis.med.va.gov/PageFellowships.asp) or to contact me at joan.griffin2@va.gov or the associate fellowship director, Diana Burgess at Diana.burgess@va.gov.
