Undergraduate Research Assistants
Typically new research assistants are invited at the beginning of the semester, around the same time that one would sign up for classes. A one-year commitment of at least 3 hours per week is required. At least one hour will be allotted to daily lab tasks (e.g., data entry, survey/program management, assisting with preparation for research appointments). All undergraduate students must complete at least 1 semester of training before being permitted to conduct research for credit. If you are interested in becoming part of our research team, fill out our online application:
Medical Students
Given the intense nature of medical training, medical students should ensure that they have at least 1 hour of time available for research activities each week. Please reach out to Dr. Miller directly if you are interested in pursuing a summer research fellowship in the HIT lab.
Postdoctoral Training
Please reach out to Dr. Miller directly if you are interested in applying for a postdoctoral fellowship. Postdoctoral fellows will undertake advanced training in addictions while also pursuing their own research interests – and are eligible for MU’s addiction T32 training experience, if interested (T32AA013625, PIs McCarthy/Sher; funded continuously by NIAAA since 2002). The goals of the training experience are (1) to support the individual development of diverse early career scientists who want to conduct addictions research; (2) to provide hands-on training in grant writing, publication, and research design (especially randomized controlled trials); and (3) to foster collaborative relationships with addiction scientists and community stakeholders, both locally and across the nation.

Lab Dress Code
All Research staff are expected to maintain a clean, professional, and well-groomed appearance. Business attire is required for all intervention and clinical interview appointments with participants (no jeans).
Letter of Recommendation Policy
Dr. Miller will consider writing a letter recommendation for any student/trainee who works in the lab for 1+ year and consistently receives satisfactory performance reviews.
