About The Position

The Department of Psychiatry at Oregon Health & Science University seeks an established investigator at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor to join the faculty of the Steven J. Sharp Center for Mental Health Innovation (CMHI). The CMHI advances mental health discovery and its translation into practice. Its faculty study developmental origins of mental health, child and adolescent behavioral risk, ADHD, depression and suicide risk, and substance use through a variety of methods, including genetics, neuroimaging, neuropsychology, computational approaches, advanced analytics, and clinical trials. The appointee will maintain an active, externally funded research program and provide research leadership through collaborative scientific initiatives, team science, multidisciplinary research, and contributions to the CMHI's long-term scientific direction. Mentorship of faculty, trainees, and other investigators in grant development, research execution, publication, and career advancement will be a central responsibility. The appointee will help mentees develop competitive grant portfolios and participate substantively in funded research. The successful candidate will bring broad translational expertise in developmental psychopathology and a transdiagnostic perspective that meaningfully includes relevance to externalizing disorders and ADHD. Experience with neuroimaging and/or clinical trials is desirable.
