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.
