Assistant/Associate Professor Faculty Position within The McLean Imaging Center at McLean
Hospital, Belmont, MA
McLean Hospital, the McLean Imaging Center, and the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard
Medical School, invite applications for a faculty position at the Assistant or Associate
Professor level from qualified individuals engaged in high-impact neuroimaging research
aimed to improve understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment of psychiatric,
neuropsychiatric, and/or neurodevelopmental disorders. Embedded within a private
psychiatric hospital with the largest research program in the US, the McLean Imaging
Center
(
www.mcleanmri.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ww…)
offers a highly multi-disciplinary and collaborative environment conducive of neuroimaging
research on a variety of conditions, including—but not limited to—mood and anxiety
disorders, drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, personality disorders, developmental
disorders (e.g., autism), and neurodegenative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease). We
seek an investigator to extend or complement our existing research programs. Priority
areas include pediatric neuroimaging relevant to neurodevelopmental and psychiatric
disorders, but any strong candidate engaged in patient-oriented neuroimaging research will
be considered.
Opportunities exist for developing strong collaborations within McLean Hospital and across
Harvard Medical School. Depending on research focus, candidates will have access to three
research-dedicated human (two 3T and one 4T) and animal (9.4T) MRI scanners, 128-channel
EEG systems, MR-compatible EEG systems, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a mock scanner,
as well as comprehensive array of imaging capabilities (e.g., fMRI, sMRI, DTI,
high-density EEG, Proton MRS, Phosphorus MRS).
Applicants must have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. or professional doctorate, appropriate
postdoctoral experience, and a record of extramural funding and publications indicative of
demonstrated expertise. Depending upon qualifications, the applicant must either meet the
academic criteria for appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor or Associate
Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. The position offers
laboratory space as well as affiliation with a large clinical and basic neuroscience
research program and research infrastructure support. The successful candidate will be
expected to develop a competitive, independent, and largely externally funded research
program. Salary and recruitment packages will be commensurate with qualifications and
experience. Qualified women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
Applicants should submit a cover letter (addressed to Diego A. Pizzagalli, Ph.D. &
Scott E. Lukas, MIC Search Committee Co-Chairs, McLean Hospital, 115 Mill Street, Belmont,
MA 02478-9106), a curriculum vitae, a concise statement of research interests, and the
names and addresses of three references by email to Terry Bragg, Director of Professional
Staff Affairs (tbragg@partners.org<mailto:tbragg@partners.org>).
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the positions are
filled.
