Paula J. Bice, PhD, MS

Dr. Paula Bice received her M.S. and Ph.D. in behavioral neuroscience from Kansas State University. She worked as a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and subsequently within the Molecular Biology Core in the Indiana University School of Medicine. After becoming a faculty member, she worked in the Alcohol Research Center, where she obtained funding for several NIH funded grants, including an RO1 and two contract grants through the Center for Inherited Disease Research at Johns Hopkins University. Her work focused primarily on the identification and characterization of candidate genes for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). After completion of her funded research obligations, she began teaching in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at IU in Bloomington. Her courses included Neuroscience (with molecular biology/genetics lab), Neurobiology of Addiction, Drugs in the Nervous System, and Drugs and Behavior. Along with these teaching obligations, she worked as a grant and scientific writer/editor and data coordinator for the I³ Mentoring Program at IU, a program designed to help junior faculty obtain extramural funding. Dr. Bice is currently a faculty member in the Center for Neuroimaging in the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, where her primary focus is to aid faculty in the Indiana Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (IADRC). She provides professional expertise in neuroscience, aids researchers in grantsmanship and project development, gathers/tracks various research related metrics, and assists in manuscript development and writing.
