The Post-Doctoral Training Program in Schizophrenia Research provides extensive training in cutting-edge basic and clinical research strategies for schizophrenia.

Fellows receive training in a range of molecular, developmental, computational, cognitive, systems, and clinical neuroscience approaches to the analysis of cortical circuitry in both primate and human brain in order to better understand the cognitive deficits of schizophrenia. Post-doctoral participants will gain a strong knowledge base in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, with opportunities available for studies in the normal functional architecture of primate neocortex, the postnatal development of this circuitry, brain imaging techniques, and animal models of the disease process of schizophrenia.

Post-doctoral fellows are immersed in the world-class research environment of the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University that enables trainees to explore and define their individual research interests in the broader context of program objectives.
