The Carney Institute for Brain Science at Brown University is seeking Postdoctoral Fellows to join the NIMH funded T32 Training Program in Computational Psychiatry. The program’s goal is to train research fellows with expertise in computational cognitive and systems neuroscience, capable of collaborating with clinical researchers to advance knowledge of psychiatric disorders and treatments. Eligible research topics include brain and cognitive modeling over multiple scales and levels of analysis (ranging from biophysics to artificial intelligence), and the use of these models to understand mechanisms of psychiatric disorders with the ultimate goal of improving treatments. The program applies an apprenticeship model in which fellows work with a primary research trainer in a computational field and a secondary research mentor in clinical psychiatry. In this apprenticeship model, the trainer works closely with the fellow and a secondary clinical psychiatry mentor, who is conducting research in areas such as neuroimaging, neurostimulation, digital phenotyping, and/or animal models. The list of eligible faculty trainers can be found on the Training Program in Computational Psychiatry’s website.
Applicants must have completed all requirements for a doctoral degree before start of the position and be US citizens or permanent residents as per the requirements of the NIH T32 funding mechanism. Salary will be based on Brown’s minimum pay scale and is commensurate with experience.
Applicants should submit a CV, statement of research interests, up to three representative publications, and names of three references through Interfolio.
Application review will begin September 1, 2024.
