Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School: The Translational Post-Doctoral Training Program in Neurodevelopment (Neurodevelopmental T32 Fellowship)

DMLAdmin — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 18:20:40 +0000

Program Description

We will be offering two, 1-year postdoctoral fellowships funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), available to researchers who seek to improve or expand their ability to conduct interdisciplinary, translational neuroscience research in neurodevelopment and neurodevelopmental or mental health disorders.

Note: There is a possibility of a second year of support based on the success of our renewal application and/or the ability of individual Principal Investigators to support candidates independent of the T32.

Research Areas

Postdoctoral projects can encompass basic and/or clinical research and might include investigation into one or more of the following areas:

Developmental psychopathology
Interventional studies
Molecular or behavioral neurogenetics
Neuroimaging
Neurobiology
New diagnostic methods
Outcomes research

Program Areas / Faculty Department Affiliations

Fellows with MD or PhD degrees conduct research during the program with mentors and advisors from the following areas:

Computer Science
Developmental / Behavioral Pediatrics
Genetics
Neurology
Neurobiology
Neuroradiology
Neuroscience
Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Psychology

Trainee Program

This training program provides trainees with the essential guidance, training, and mentoring critical to launching an independent career in academic research. The training program starts by recruiting the most talented trainees from MD/PhD, MD, and PhD programs who are interested in pursuing a career in translational neuroscience research and academia. Close interaction between T32 mentors and trainees are supplemented by a structured training program that provides a common knowledge base with respect to translational neuroscience research.

Supplemental work will focus on the Translational Neuroscience Seminar Series and Proseminars complemented by trainee-specific coursework. Administratively, the program consists of co-directors (Drs. Nelson & Glahn) and a group of 19 highly skilled and successful training faculty from a diverse array of disciplines.

How to Apply

Applicants should first consult the list of potential mentors and confirm that he or she is willing to serve as a primary mentor. Eligible candidates should submit one PDF via email to T32translationaldevelopment@childrens.harvard.edu with the following documents: (1) trainee’s CV, (2) trainee’s research statement (maximum 2 pages) describing research interests and specifically why this training program was selected, and (3) names and contact information of two potential letter writers. Project proposals should clearly state the interdisciplinary nature of the project.

If selected for an interview, the following additional materials will be required: (4) two letters of support (one from the trainee’s mentor) and (5) the mentor’s NIH other support document.

Applications should be submitted by March 13, 2026, with the expectation that trainees will be selected by April 30 and may start as early as July 2026. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents with an MD and/or PhD (completed by the time training begins). Commitment to the goals of the program and strong academic and research credentials are important criteria used in the selection process.

Further inquiries can be made by reaching out directly at T32Translationaldevelopment@childrens.harvard.edu.
