NEW YORK CITY: Postdoctoral Psychology Fellow, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry – The Family Studies Research Center in the Department of Psychiatry of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine has a two-year postdoctoral fellowship position in our research program in autism and related disorders. The fellow will participate with other postdoctoral fellows in closely related projects in a mentor-based training program with core faculty.
The Family Studies Research Center is primarily oriented toward the identification and refinement of phenotypes for genetically complex psychiatric disorders, in particular, autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s disease. Such phenotypes are then available to serve molecular genetic studies seeking to identify vulnerability genes for these disorders. In autism, we are studying a variety of personality traits and candidate neuropsychological endophenotypes (e.g., those pertaining to executive functions) in affected and unaffected family members as well as controls.
Competitive candidates will have a Ph.D. in clinical, developmental, personality, social psychology or a related field and a strong research background and interest in pursuing an academic career. Salary range: $35-45K, depending on background and experience. Mount Sinai health benefits, etc., apply. Interested applicants should forward a CV, representative manuscripts, statement of interests and future goals, and three letters of recommendation to: Jeremy M. Silverman, Ph.D., Department of Psychiatry, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Box 1230, One Gustave L. Levy Place, New York, NY 10029, or email materials to jeremy.silverman@mssm.edu.
Mount Sinai is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Women and minority group members are encouraged to apply.
