<div><div><b>Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit</b></div>
<div>The primary purpose of the Psychology and Neuroscience Department is to provide excellent education, research and service in the field. This goal breaks down into four important components: 1) to teach psychology and neuroscience to undergraduates in a manner that will introduce them vigorously to its broad scope; 2) to offer scientific and professional training to graduate students in the areas of behavioral and integrative neuroscience, clinical, cognitive, developmental, quantitative, and social psychology; 3) to carry out cutting-edge research in these areas, and 4) to provide consulting and administrative support services to the science and profession of psychology as well as to the university, the community, the state, and the nation.<br>
<br>
The Department consists of six programs: behavioral and integrative neuroscience; clinical psychology; cognitive psychology; developmental psychology; quantitative psychology, and social psychology. Each program is designed to acquaint the student thoroughly with the theoretical and research content of the specialty and to provide training in the research skills needed to become a competent and creative investigator. In addition, the programs focus on the development of appropriate professional skills.<br>
<br>
The Department of Psychology and Neuroscience ranks 2nd in the College in grant funding with over $12 million annually in grant expenditures and approximately $20 million annually in expenditures from all funds. The Department of Psychology and Neuroscience has the largest undergraduate major in the College of Arts and Sciences with approximately 1500 majors, and one of the largest graduate Ph.D. programs with approximately 120 graduate students. The Department is also home to four community clinics which generate fee revenue (Adult Clinic, Anxiety Clinic, Child and Family Clinic, Couples Clinic), known collectively as the UNC Psychology and Neuroscience Community Clinic (the Clinic).</div>

<div><div><b>Position Summary</b></div>
<div>The SPIRE Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is a training experience where primary research is conducted at UNC Chapel Hill and teaching responsibilities are carried out at partner institutions in North Carolina. The postdoctoral scholar will provide contributions to research progress in a laboratory research environment selected across a range of areas aligned with the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) research priorities. Opportunities to tailor the experience to meet individual training needs and professional goals include participation in formal teaching, professional development workshops, and the development of specific research, teaching, and other career related competencies.<br>
<br>
SPIRE training includes a pedagogical workshop series, IDPs and annual evaluations, and regular participation in training seminars. The SPIRE Postdoctoral Scholar will perform original, independent research in the lab setting of their choice at UNC-Chapel Hill; work closely with Principal Investigators who provide guidance and mentoring on research projects; publish in peer-reviewed journals, presenting research findings at national and international conferences and participating in journal clubs and laboratory meetings; teach courses at one of four of the program&rsquo;s partner universities; and engage in professional development that leads to academic careers.<br>
<br>
The Seeding Postdoctoral Innovators in Research &amp; Education (SPIRE) Program is administratively housed in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at UNC Chapel Hill. SPIRE&rsquo;s mission is to provide multi-dimensional professional development for science researchers and educators to succeed in academic careers, to bring engaging teaching methods into the classroom.<br>
<br>
The four major components of the SPIRE Postdoctoral Fellowship Program include research, teaching, professional development, and additional opportunities. The SPIRE Postdoctoral Fellowship Program was one of the first grantees to receive funding in 1999 from the Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) program.<br>
<br>
The primary goals of SPIRE are: 1) To provide scholars with both high-quality research training and the opportunity to develop research-based teaching skills that will inspire students across the sciences. 2) To promote effective teaching and research partnerships between research intensive institutions and partner institutions by investing in tomorrow&rsquo;s science scholars and educators and providing them with a holistic approach to postgraduate professional development. SPIRE strives to blend an outstanding research environment with broad professional development activities and hands-on classroom experiences for those scientists who want to combine research with undergraduate and graduate education.</div>
