MOOD AND ANXIETY DISORDERS PROGRAM

DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY

ICAHN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AT MOUNT SINAI

The Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program (MAP) is pleased to announce the opening of a postdoctoral research fellowship in clinical neuroscience and experimental psychopathology. Located within the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai —internationally acclaimed for excellence in scientific research, clinical care, and education — MAP conducts clinical and translational research across the mood and anxiety disorder spectrum. The primary mission of MAP is to identify the fundamental mechanisms of disease and to discover novel treatments for patients suffering from mood and anxiety disorders.

We are seeking a candidate with experience in experimental design and implementation, psychophysiological experimentation (e.g., Startle-blink, skin conductance, etc.), and/or neuroimaging methodology (e.g., fMRI). A Ph.D. in experimental or clinical psychology, cognitive science, clinical neuroscience, and/or related field is required. Experience in computational methods used in neuroimaging and psychophysiology (e.g., Matlab, Python, UNIX, LINUX, AFNI, FSL, SPM, Freesurfer) and computer programing is desirable.  Exceptional skills in experimental design, quantitative methods, statistical modeling, and the ability to carry out independent data entry and statistical analyses using standard software packages (e.g., SPSS, SAS, R) are particularly desirable.  The successful candidate must demonstrate solid mastery of written English and show academic productivity.

Candidates must be highly motivated to develop expertise in applying cognitive science and experimental psychopathology methods to problems in clinical and translational research. Postdoctoral fellows will receive one on one mentoring in clinical research methodology and work in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment to gain experience in patient-centered research. Fellows will have the opportunity to draw from the substantial resources of the School of Medicine, including resources located within the Friedman Brain Institute, the Translational and Molecular Imaging Institute and the Brain Imaging Center in order to carry out high-impact research across Departments. Upon completion of the fellowship, trainees will be well positioned to pursue an independent research career in mood and anxiety disorders.

We offer a competitive salary plus full benefits.  Please email a CV and cover letter to Dr. James Murrough ([log in to unmask]).

Mount Sinai Medical Center is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. We recognize the power and importance of a diverse employee population and strongly encourage applicants with various experiences and backgrounds.
