UF PAIN TEAM T90/R90 Training Program
Partnerships Across Interdisciplinary Networks: Training Through Engineering, Epidemiology & Addiction Medicine
The UF PAIN TEAM training program offers advanced training for postdoctoral fellows focused on the interdisciplinary study of pain.

About the program
Team science has propelled advancements in solving some of the most complex research problems, often yielding solutions that would not emerge from isolated efforts. The University of Florida Partnerships Across Interdisciplinary Networks: Training through Engineering, Epidemiology & Addiction Medicine (UF PAIN TEAM) offers advanced training for postdoctoral fellows focused on the interdisciplinary study of pain. The program is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and emphasizes the importance of team science and translational research in pain management. UF PAIN TEAM includes a combination of required and elective coursework, hands-on research experiences, and training in manuscript and grant writing.
Our distinguished mentors bring a wide array of expertise to the program, including but not limited to:
The UF PAIN TEAM is committed to producing the next generation of pain researchers who are equipped to tackle complex challenges through innovative, interdisciplinary approaches. Fellows involved also benefit from career development opportunities that are tailored to their specific research interests.
training Requirements
We seek candidates interested in clinical pain research across multiple disciplines both from traditional (e.g., neuroscience, psychology, physical therapy, nursing) and non-traditional (e.g., engineering, epidemiology, addiction medicine, bioinformatics) backgrounds.
By the appointment, trainees must have completed a doctoral degree (e.g., PhD, MD, DMD, DDS, DVM). For the T90 positions, candidates must be a U.S. citizen, a non-citizen national, or a permanent resident. For the R90 position, candidates must be non-citizens currently residing in the U.S. who intend to pursue careers in clinical pain research within the U.S.
