The Clinical Addictions Research Laboratory offers employment and training opportunities at several levels, including full- and part-time lab coordinator and research assistant positions, research externships, Master or Doctoral research options, and post doctoral fellowships. 

Post-Doctoral Fellowship Opportunities - NOW RECRUITING FOR AUGUST/FALL 2026

We invite applications for post-doctoral training in clinical addiction science starting August 2026. Funding for one or two positions is provided by NIDA (Integrative Training in the Neurobiology of Addictive Behaviors) and NIGMS (Clinical Therapeutics) T32 training grants. Click here for details. All inquiries should be directed to Claire Wellendorf.

 Student Externship Opportunities - Available Winter/Spring 2026

Our lab occasionally offers volunteer externship positions, which in the past have included either summer projects or research experience (5-10 hours/week) for UChicago or other undergraduates during the school year. As a student researcher, you may be involved in participant recruitment and screening, data entry and management, and other supportive study tasks.

​Please contact our lab coordinator, Claire Wellendorf, for inquiries regarding setting up an externship. Availability of these opportunities is generally based on the availability of staff to train and supervise.
