The Biomarker and Dimensional Psychiatry Center at PRIME, a program within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein), is seeking highly motivated postdoctoral scholars in the field of human *neuroimaging*. Available positions will focus on analyzing *fMRI* and proton *MR spectroscopy* data as well as acquiring or processing related MRI and biological measures. Candidates should either have completed or be near completing a PhD in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, radiology, engineering, biostatistics, 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. The primary responsibility for this postdoctoral fellow will be to run scans, analyze neuroimaging data from multiple ongoing and recently concluded research projects, and write manuscripts. *The position is hybrid, and 2 days a week can be remote. Neuroimaging scans are conducted at the Leon and Norma Hess Center of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai located in the Upper East Side, Manhattan. Salaries are highly competitive for the area!* Under the mentorship of Vilma Gabbay, MD and Benjamin Ely, PhD, postdoctoral scholars will be expected to advance *clinical* and *methodological* knowledge through their postdoctoral training. Our lab is dedicated to the study and treatment of *mood*, *anxiety*, and *substance use disorders* in *adolescent* and *high-risk adult* (e.g. HIV+) populations using innovative neuroimaging and immunological methodologies. The neuroimaging program 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. The lab is funded by 5 ongoing NIH R01 studies (R01MH120601, R01DA054885, R01MH128878, R01MH131207, and R01MH126821) as well as an NIH center grant (P30AI124414) and several smaller grants, providing unparalleled funding for active and exploratory studies. Major research topics include longitudinal studies of adolescent mood and anxiety disorders; comorbidity of depression, cannabis use, and HIV infection; and an intervention study aimed at improving well-being among healthcare workers with parental responsibilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Project abstracts with further details can be found on NIH RePORTER. Resources available on-campus and through long-standing collaborations include multiple research-dedicated 3T MRI scanners (Siemens Skyra/Prisma, Philips Elition) with cutting-edge accelerated and multi-echo fMRI sequences, high-performance scientific computing clusters, and an extensive library of analytic and statistical software. The PIs are 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 dedicated to postdocs at the Rhinelander residence is available within walking distance to the Einstein campus in the Morris Park neighborhood of The Bronx. The position is hybrid, and scans take place at Mount Sinai in Upper East Side, Manhattan. Public transit options between Manhattan and the Einstein campus include the BxM10 express bus (stop right on campus) and the 2/5/6 trains. Please send a CV, statement of interest, and contact information for three references to gabbay....@einsteinmed.edu or vilma.gab...@einsteinmed.edu. Albert Einstein College of Medicine is an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified candidates will be given equal consideration. Priority will be given to candidates available to start sooner. Compensation will be proportional to experience and exceed standard postdoctoral fellowship rates posted by Albert Einstein College of Medicine ($70,000 - $80,000).
