16 PhD Positions to advance psychedelic therapy research in mental health

INTEGRATE is an international, multidisciplinary Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Network funded by the European Commission under Horizon Europe (Grant agreement ID: 101226862), coordinated by the University Center for Psychiatry (UCP) at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). The network aims to train a new generation of interdisciplinary experts to implement psychedelic therapy (PT) in healthcare, addressing challenges such as mechanisms of action, clinical standards, regulatory obstacles, and ethical considerations. The consortium includes 11 academic beneficiaries and 23 associated partners across Europe and worldwide, offering cutting edge research, training schools, and secondments in industry, civil society organizations, regulatory agencies, and more.

The network will provide scientific and translational skills training to 16 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) with three-year fixed-term positions, divided over the 11 beneficiaries in 9 countries in Europe. Each DC will work on an individual PhD project, combining cutting-edge science with training in personal development, ethics, regulation, and societal impact. The program offers excellent supervision, interdisciplinary collaboration, and secondments across academic, clinical, and industry partners to prepare DCs as future leaders in this emerging field.
