World-class leadership in sexual and gender wellbeing.
The Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health (formerly the Program in Human Sexuality) is one of the largest clinical, teaching, and research institutions in the world specializing in human sexuality. We have a strong research agenda that has been supported by millions of dollars in state and federal funding, and we have developed innovative and effective treatment approaches to sexual and gender problems.

Postdoctoral Fellowships at ISGH
Job ID 352513
The Institute for Sexual and Gender Health (ISGH) at the University of Minnesota Medical School is inviting applications for three (3) postdoctoral fellows to join a vibrant team of faculty and postdoctoral fellows for a two-year program beginning Fall 2023.
All ISGH fellowships are designed to support a balanced mix of clinical and research training in gender and sexual health care and have three areas of specialized focus: transgender and nonbinary health (child, adolescent, adults, and elders), relationship and sex therapy, and compulsive sexual behavior. Fellows identify a research mentorship team who they work collaboratively with throughout their postdoctoral experience.
All ISGH fellowships meet the postdoctoral licensure requirements for the Minnesota Board of Psychology and are also a member of the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC). In addition, fellows have opportunities to work towards certification as a sex therapist by the American Association for Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT).
The goals for the Fellowship program, with a combined 60% clinical care/40% research model, are to:
- Provide up-to-date training in the assessment and treatment of a variety of sexual and gender health concerns
- Provide education to medical students and family medicine residents on topics such as sex history taking and basic counseling skills for sexual and gender concerns
- Engage in scholarly activity that advances skills in research design, analysis, writing, and presentation in the area of the various specialized fellowships.
Applicants must have a PhD or PsyD in psychology or marriage and family therapy and be eligible for licensure in the State of Minnesota. We prefer applicants to have experience or an interest in a career that combines clinical and scholarly endeavors in the areas of gender and sexual health. Our fellows enjoy a competitive salary, excellent benefits, and a professional travel stipend.

The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (UMTC), is among the largest public research universities in the country, offering undergraduate, graduate, and professional students a multitude of opportunities for study and research. Located at the heart of one of the nation's most vibrant, diverse metropolitan communities, students on the campuses in Minneapolis and St. Paul benefit from extensive partnerships with world-renowned health centers, international corporations, government agencies, and arts, nonprofit, and public service organizations.
The Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Minnesota Medical School was created more than 50 years ago in response to a legislative mandate to train primary care physicians. Since then, we have been leaders in transforming the specialty through education, research, and patient care. We are the academic sponsor of eight family medicine residencies—five in the Twin Cities, three in Greater Minnesota. We are involved in medical student education activities across the Medical School's two campuses: Twin Cities and Duluth. We sponsor four fellowship programs—sports medicine, hospice and palliative medicine, behavioral medicine, and human sexuality— and offer continuing medical education opportunities. We are regularly among the top National Institutes of Health-funded family medicine departments. Our faculty are actively researching health disparities, healthcare delivery, and population health.
