Pre and Post Doctoral Fellowships
The Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies offers post-doctoral fellowships in a multidisciplinary training program funded by NIAAA. Research is focused on molecular and cellular studies on alcohol actions. Applicants must have an M.D. or Ph.D., U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, and an interest in alcohol research. Pre Doctoral candidates are chosen from a pool of UNC graduate students to work in the laboratories of CAS scientists.
