If you would like to contribute, [[Special:UserLogin|log-in]] or [[Special:CreateAccount|request an account]]. We recommend using your e-mail address or Minnesota uniqname as your user id. For basic instructions, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial the Wikipedia Tutorial]. 

== We're hiring! ==
We're currently accepting applications for talented '''postdoctoral fellows'''. The Please contact [mailto:vrieze@umn.edu Scott] if you're interested. Our current postdoctoral advertisement can be  [https://hr.myu.umn.edu/jobs/ext/352388 found here].

Interested '''graduate students''' who would like to pursue a research-intensive PhD in Clinical Psychology can apply to work with Scott through the [https://cla.umn.edu/psychology/graduate/areas-specialization/clinical-science-and-psychopathology-research-program-cspr Clinical Psychology and Psychopathology Research] program in the [https://cla.umn.edu/psychology Psychology Department]. Scott also accepts students through the [https://cla.umn.edu/psychology/graduate/areas-specialization/personality-individual-differences-and-behavior-genetics-pib Personality, Behavior Genetics, and Individual Differences program (PIB)].

With Monica Luciana, Scott directs a [https://cla.umn.edu/psychology/graduate/funding-opportunities/training-grant T32 training program] "Training in Genetic and Neurobehavioral Mechanisms of Addiction". The program supports predoc and postdoc trainees. Click the link for more information.
