JOB TITLE: Postdoctoral Research Scientist

DEPARTMENT: SNF Center for Precision Psychiatry & Mental Health

DEPT CODE:

TITLE THIS POSITION REPORTS TO: Joseph Gogos and Steven Kushner

POSITION DESCRIPTION:

At the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Center for Precision Psychiatry & Mental Health, we envision a time in the near future when mental illness is treated in novel, targeted, and tailored ways, based on an understanding of disease etiology and pathophysiology. Our mission is to apply advances in neuroscience, technology and precision medicine to psychiatry. The SNF Center is dedicated to identifying scientific breakthroughs that further our understanding of the biological causes and underpinnings of mental illness. By addressing biological causes, and identifying genetic and other biological markers, the SNF Center aims to contribute to reduce the stigma of mental illnesses and address societal disparities by ensuring equitable access to breakthrough Precision Psychiatry treatments.

The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will be responsible for establishing and leading a research program located within the Zuckerman Mind Brain and Behavior Institute that aims to study the development, organization and function of neural circuits in mouse models of psychiatric disorders using advanced molecular, cellular and brain imaging methods with the ultimate goal to facilitate translational efforts and develop new targeted treatments. Successful candidates will have opportunities to interact and collaborate with researchers and research platforms at the Institute as well as across Columbia's top-tier stem cell and neuroscience community.

The Zuckerman Institute's home, the Jerome L. Greene Science Center is a state-of-the-art facility on Columbia's Manhattanville campus. Situated in the heart of Manhattan in New York City, the Zuckerman Institute houses over 50 laboratories employing a broad range of interdisciplinary and diverse approaches to transform our understanding of the mind and brain. In this highly collaborative and inclusive environment, experimental, computational, and theoretical labs work together to gain critical insights into how the brain develops, performs, endures and recovers.

Duties involve the following tasks:

  • Conduct laboratory research in translational neuroscience projects Design and perform experiments; collect and analyze data Prepare manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals
  • Engage in scientific communication at conferences and training of junior lab members

    QUALIFICATIONS/SKILLS:

    Candidates should have recently obtained or be nearing completion of a Ph.D. in neuroscience or related fields, have a strong publication record and demonstrated experience working with mice. We welcome applicants with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise, including in vivo functional imaging, neural circuit tracing and manipulations, electrophysiology, neurodevelopmental biology, as well as molecular and cellular neuroscience. Strong computational skills, including programming in MATLAB or Python, superior motivation, drive and demonstrated aptitude for carrying out independent research, as well as experience and interest in training and mentoring team members, are highly desirable qualifications.

    Candidates should submit their application, including a curriculum vitae, a brief cover letter outlining their research interests and goals, and the contact information of three individuals who will provide letters of reference. Informal inquiries are also welcome.
