Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Postdoctoral Associate Position in Human Neuroimaging
University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, Florida, USA

The Gabbay Laboratory within the Department of Psychiatry at the University of 
Miami Miller School of Medicine 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 responsibilities for this 
postdoctoral fellow will be to run scans, analyze neuroimaging data from 
multiple ongoing and recently concluded research projects, and write 
manuscripts.
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 committed to the highest standards for magnetic resonance 
imaging and spectroscopy.
The lab is funded by four ongoing NIH R01 neuroimaging studies (R01MH120601, 
R01DA054885, R01MH128878, and R01MH131207) 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/Vida/Prisma) 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.
Please send a CV, statement of interest, and contact information for three 
references to axo...@med.miami.edu<mailto:axo...@med.miami.edu>. 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 will follow standard postdoctoral fellowship rates posted by 
University of Miami.
