Job description

The Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) are seeking MD, PhD, or MD/PhD researchers for full-time faculty positions investigating psychiatric illness. Positions are available at the assistant professor level.

Growth is sought in both preclinical and clinical approaches towards understanding psychiatric illness. Consequently, multiple positions are available.

Primarily, the search committee will look for:

  • Success in securing federal funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). However, success in obtaining funding from other sources (such as state and foundation funding) will also be considered.
  • Presentations of research and/or scholarly material and published abstracts associated with professional or scientific meetings.

Successful candidates will join a vibrant and highly interactive research community with a long history of excellence in basic, translational, and clinical research. The Department of Psychiatry is prepared to invest substantial resources to ensure success.

Qualifications:

  • MD in Psychiatry or Neurology/PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience or related field
  • Demonstrated research skills
  • Strong organizational skills
  • Flexibility and ability to work in a rapidly changing/growing educational institution
