Open Rank
About The Position
The Department of Psychiatry is seeking an open rank, tenure-track researcher to advance its mission of scientific discovery in psychiatric disorders and neuroscience. The department offers an outstanding environment for basic, translational, and clinical research, clinical care, career development, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The ideal candidate will possess strong skills in circuit mechanisms that influence how the brain synthesizes auditory information to extract complex sound features, such as language, and how these mechanisms relate to psychiatric disorders. This individual is expected to have a strong track record of successful mentorship and external funding. The applicant should be a skilled, independent researcher with excellent experience in designing and executing research studies, mentoring graduate students and other trainees, and writing research papers and grants. Experience in processing and analyzing neuronal data is essential. The successful applicant will demonstrate a track record of outstanding accomplishment appropriate for their seniority level and significant potential to improve the lives of women and girls through the institute's work. The hired faculty member will be expected to lead externally funded research projects within the Neuroscience Center, focusing on understanding the complex human brain circuits that enable verbal communication and their failure in psychiatric disorders. This will involve developing community partnerships, designing and executing research studies, performing data analysis, writing manuscripts, and publishing results. The faculty member will also collaborate with other researchers and clinicians in the Department of Psychiatry and support the educational mission by training graduate students, interns, and fellows.
