ORCCAMIND Postdoctoral Positions
The post-doctoral fellowships are available for up to three years. After completion of the first two years, a third may be granted based on review of the fellow’s success by the T32 Executive Committee. Fellows conducting clinical research are expected to participate in the Human Investigations Program at OHSU. Fellows are primarily located at either OHSU or the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. Collaborative opportunities are also available with the University of Western States, the National University of Natural Medicine and the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. A list of potential mentors is listed on this website. Some mentors may only be able to act as a co-mentor, depending on their experience in mentorship and research.
