Postdoctoral Fellowship in Pediatric Pain Clinical Research

The Division of Behavioral Medicine and Clinical Psychology and the

Pediatric Pain Research Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center

announce the availability of a 2-year Postdoctoral Fellowship position. The fellow will primarily work with an interdisciplinary team of researchers on a clinical‑translational project in pediatric musculoskeletal chronic pain. The study is part of the NIH HEAL KIDS Chronic Pain initiative in which the fellow will have the opportunity to work with a consortium of investigators dedicated to understanding the biobehavioral mechanisms underlying pediatric‑onset chronic pain. The fellow can also be involved with delivering cognitive behavioral and exercise‑based treatments for adolescents with chronic pain (the FIT Teens Program). The fellowship offers structured training in clinical research methodologies, analysis of electronic medical record data, and collection of patient‑reported outcomes. Fellows may also engage in ambulatory monitoring of sleep and physical activity and quantitative sensory testing. Mentorship in scholarly activities such as manuscript and grant writing will be included. The PPRC is a dynamic multidisciplinary group with multiple ongoing collaborations between pediatric experts in pain neuroscience, behavioral medicine, rheumatology, anesthesia and sports medicine. Additional clinical training opportunities are available within the interdisciplinary Pain Service. Applicants with strong clinical and translational research interests in pediatric pain are encouraged to apply. For more information, please contact Susmita.Kashikar‑Zuck@cchmc.org or Christopher.King@cchmc.org.
