Postdoctoral Fellowship — Alcohol Research Group (ARG) at UC Berkeley

About this program

The Alcohol Research Group (ARG) at UC Berkeley offers a two‑year postdoctoral fellowship to train independent investigators in alcohol and addictions research, providing individualized mentorship, an Advanced Alcohol Research Seminar, NIH-focused grant‑writing and statistical support, professional development funds, and a stipend of $64,480–$66,868/year plus UC postdoctoral benefits. Second‑year continuation is contingent on satisfactory completion of first‑year requirements and a required second‑year project (literature review or analytic project); hybrid remote/in‑person arrangements may be possible. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. (conferred less than five years ago or within three months of filing), may not have held faculty rank (assistant professor or higher), and total postdoctoral service including prior appointments may not exceed five years; U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible. Application materials — cover letter, CV, graduate transcripts, two writing samples (at least one solo), a 2–3 page statement of purpose addressing mentor choices, and three recommendation letters sent directly to kkapiteni@arg.org — are reviewed on a rolling basis; prospective applicants are encouraged to contact Kwinoja Kapiteni for details.
