Two postdoctoral positions are available within the Translational Research on Affective Disorders and Suicide Laboratory at Columbia University (auerbachlab.com). Fellows will be co-mentored by Dr. Randy P. Auerbach and Dr. David Pagliaccio. The postdoctoral fellows will support NIH/NIMH and foundation-funded projects that aim to identify neural (structural and functional MRI) and real-time (e.g., experience sampling, passive sensor) markers of depression and suicide in adolescents. Postdoctoral fellows will have opportunities to pursue independent research, grants (e.g., K-awards), and interdisciplinary collaborations across Columbia University.

Applicants should have a PhD or MD with a strong track record in clinical, affective, and translational neuroscience. Applicants should be comfortable with processing and analysis of multi-modal neuroimaging data. Review of applications will begin immediately, and questions about the position can be sent directly to Dr. Auerbach (rpa2009@cumc.columbia.edu). Applicants should submit a single pdf, including: (a) cover letter, (b) curriculum vitae, (c) 3 representative publications, and (d) list of 3 referees (including contact information). Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until a candidate is selected. There is a preference for a summer 2021 start date, but this is negotiable.
