What are the responsibilities and job description for the Open Rank: Assistant Professor/Associate Professor/Professor of Psychiatry (Computational Psychiatry - Tenure Track) position at Columbia University Irving Medical Center?
The Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University is inviting applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant to full professor level. We seek candidates whose research is focused on computational approaches to understand neurocognitive mechanisms of psychiatric disorders. Expertise in theory-driven cognitive paradigms and computational analysis of neurofunctional (e.g., fMRI/EEG) and behavioral data is required, along with strong skills in advanced data-driven methods. Emphasis on translation into clinical applications and bridging preclinical to clinical work is strongly preferred. The successful candidate will be engaged in multidisciplinary, translational, collaborative work with clinical and preclinical researchers within and beyond the Department, who are studying related processes in humans and non-human model systems across the lifespan. Candidates will have a background in psychiatry, neuroscience, psychology, or related areas (holding an MD, MD/PhD, PhD or equivalent degree) and should have, or demonstrate strong potential to obtain, sustained extramural funding to support an independent research program. We encourage members of minority groups, women, persons with disabilities, and covered veterans to apply. Applicants should send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, short research and teaching statements, 2-3 key publications, and arrange for 3-5 letters of recommendation.
Please note that suggested salary ranges are subject to adjustment based on professional rank and a number of additional factors. Applications for this position will begin to be evaluated in October.
The successful candidate will join a highly dedicated community that offers extraordinary clinical, educational, and research resources. The position offers opportunities for collaboration with multidisciplinary teams in a dynamic academic research and clinical environment.
