External Email - Use Caution The Psychiatry Research Institute at Montefiore Einstein (PRIME), a division of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scholar in the field of human neuroimaging. The focus of this position will be on analyzing fMRI data as well as related MR and biological measures.
Candidates should have (or be near completing) a PhD in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, radiology, engineering, or a related field, and should have a strong background in quantitative analysis. Proficiencies with at least one major neuroimaging software suite (e.g. FSL, AFNI, SPM, Freesurfer, Caret, Connectome Workbench, etc.) and Unix/Linux environment are expected. Familiarity with Matlab, Python, and/or R programming languages is a plus. Under the mentorship of Vilma Gabbay, MD, this postdoctoral scholar will be expected to advance both clinical and methodological knowledge through their postdoctoral training. Dr. Gabbay is the Director of Research at PRIME, a unique program in the greater New York metropolitan area dedicated exclusively to the study and treatment of adolescent mood and anxiety disorders, utilizing innovative neuroimaging and immunological methodologies. The neuroimaging program, led by Benjamin Ely, PhD, features high-resolution data acquisition and analysis techniques modeled on the Human Connectome Project (HCP) and is dedicated to advancing the fields of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. Resources available on-campus and through long-standing collaborations include multiple research-dedicated 3T MRI scanners (Siemens Skyra, Philips Elition) with cutting-edge accelerated fMRI and edited MRS sequences, high-performance scientific computing clusters, and an extensive library of analytic and statistical software. The primary responsibility for this postdoctoral fellow will be to analyze neuroimaging data from several ongoing and recently concluded research projects. Dr. Gabbay is fully committed to fostering the trainee's research independence through publication of first-authored manuscripts in top journals and mentorship in grant applications. In addition to assisting with the PI’s proposals, the successful applicant will be highly encouraged to develop and pursue funding for their own research project through federal (e.g. NIH F32) or foundation grant programs by the end of their first year. The initial employment period for this position is two years, with the possibility of extension. Salary will be competitive and commensurate with experience and the cost of living in New York City. Subsidized housing close to the Einstein campus in the Morris Park neighborhood of The Bronx is available. Please send a CV, statement of interest, and contact information for three references to Dr. Ely (benjamin dot ely at einsteinmed dot org) and to our Research Coordinator, Sherry Simkovic (sherry dot simkovic at einsteinmed dot org). Albert Einstein College of Medicine is an equal opportunity employer; all qualified candidates will be given equal consideration. Priority will be given to candidates available to start sooner.
