The Social Neuroscience Research Core at Marcus Autism Center, in conjunction with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University School of Medicine, is offering two-year predoctoral research fellowships in six scientific subspecialties. Fellows will participate in innovative research to provide novel solutions to complex problems in a robust clinical environment.
Our research fellowships are intended for college graduates to dedicate two intensive years to research in autism prior to entering graduate studies. Fellows will participate in and guide innovative research, working with children with autism and their families, ranging in age from week-old infants to adolescents and young adults.
Fellows receive direct research mentorship from the program directors and Marcus Autism Center faculty members, and they are involved in a highly active and productive community of clinical research scientists. In addition to research training and mentorship, fellows also complete an intensive summer training seminar covering clinical research in ASD (one week), ASD grand rounds meetings (twice per month), social neuroscience lab meetings (weekly), training tutorials in relevant statistical and programming softwares, and ongoing didactic practica. Throughout their fellowship, fellows will have the opportunity to participate in clinical observation, shadowing, and clinical research in several departments at Marcus Autism Center. Fellows are funded to attend at least one research conference per year where they present their work, engage with other researchers, and promote collaboration within the autism research community.
All six fellowship tracks are paid, two-year positions with full healthcare coverage.
