A postdoctoral fellowship focused on studying the neural correlates of pediatric depression is now available at the Mount Sinai School Medicine in New York, NY. This is an exciting opportunity to apply a multimodal imaging approach to the study of mood disorders, combining resting state functional MRI, task-based fMRI, structural MRI and spectroscopy. The fellow will report to PIs including Drs. Vilma Gabbay (primary mentor; Mount Sinai School of Medicine), Emily Stern (Mount Sinai School of Medicine), and Michael Milham (Child Mind Institute). Responsibilities include collecting, analyzing, and interpreting fMRI data along with preparing manuscripts. The fellow will receive support and mentorship in obtaining their own grant funding.

Applicants should have a PhD in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, computer science, psychology, psychiatry, or other relevant disciplines. Applicants should also be proficient in one or more neuroimaging analysis packages (e.g., SPM, AFNI, FSL), scripting/programming (e.g., Python, Matlab) and statistical analysis (e.g., R, SPSS, SAS).
