About The Position

Amae Health is interested in connecting with talented psychiatrists for potential future hiring needs; this is not an immediate opening. This onsite role provides personalized, compassionate, high-quality care to people living with serious mental illness (SMI), including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar I disorder, and treatment-resistant depression. The psychiatrist provides behavioral healthcare management and monitors patient care through treatment modalities as patients progress through recovery. The role develops individualized plans during engagement and stabilization, provides regular consultations, collaborates with integrated care teams, and addresses medical needs that may be affected by social determinants of health. Amae’s model combines psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community health workers to deliver coordinated, longitudinal outpatient care. Clinicians practice in a team-based environment with manageable caseloads, purpose-built tools, and ongoing training, supervision, and mentorship in evidence-based SMI care through Amae’s collaboration with Mass General Brigham. Clinicians may also contribute to research, outcomes frameworks, and the development of care delivery tools and precision medicine for SMI. The stated base salary range is $320,000–$350,000 per year for full-time work, with a performance-based bonus opportunity. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, parental leave, and well-being programs are offered. Part-time compensation and benefits vary by schedule.
