Training Opportunities

You've come to the right place if you're looking into becoming an addiction researcher but don't know where to start. Pitt offers a variety of addiction training opportunities that are designed to advance your knowledge of interdisciplinary research and network with other post-doctoral trainees through professional development opportunities. Learn more.

Mentor Matching

Mentor Matching provides one-on-one guidance (via email, phone, or in-person) to discuss your goals and work. Sessions last up to six months and are guided by mutually agreed upon meeting times and goals for both parties. This is not a consultation program to offer medical advice for patients. Rather, this program is designed for faculty and staff to offer career coaching and professional development guidance to junior faculty, trainees, students, and other interested parties.

This is a BCAR pilot program. If you are interested in helping us test this program, please contact us at bcar@pitt.edu.
