NEUROIMAGING AND CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH

MOOD AND ANXIETY DISORDERS PROGRAM

ICAHN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AT MOUNT SINAI

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

We seek candidates with a PhD who have completed doctoral training in cognitive neuroscience and functional neuroimaging who are highly motivated to develop expertise in applying cognitive science methodology 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. The mentored training experience may be augmented by formal coursework in molecular and behavioral neuroscience, neuroimaging methods and biostatistics. 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 curriculum vitae to Dr. James Murrough (212-241-7574; james.murrough@mssm.edu) .
