At the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Center for Precision Psychiatry & Mental Health, we envision a time in the near future when mental illness is treated in novel, targeted, and tailored ways, based on an understanding of disease etiology and pathophysiology. Our mission is to apply advances in neuroscience, technology and precision medicine to psychiatry. The SNF Center is dedicated to identifying scientific breakthroughs that further our understanding of the biological causes and underpinnings of mental illness. By addressing biological causes, and identifying genetic and other biological markers, the SNF Center aims to contribute to reduce the stigma of mental illnesses and address societal disparities by ensuring equitable access to breakthrough Precision Psychiatry treatments.

The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will be responsible for establishing and leading a research program located within the Zuckerman Mind Brain and Behavior Institute that aims to study the development, organization and function of neural circuits in mouse models of psychiatric disorders using advanced molecular, cellular and brain imaging methods with the ultimate goal to facilitate translational efforts and develop new targeted treatments. Successful candidates will have opportunities to interact and collaborate with researchers and research platforms at the Institute as well as across Columbia’s top-tier stem cell and neuroscience community.

The Zuckerman Institute’s home, the Jerome L. Greene Science Center is a state-of-the-art facility on Columbia’s Manhattanville campus. Situated in the heart of Manhattan in New York City, the Zuckerman Institute houses over 50 laboratories employing a broad range of interdisciplinary and diverse approaches to transform our understanding of the mind and brain. In this highly collaborative and inclusive environment, experimental, computational, and theoretical labs work together to gain critical insights into how the brain develops, performs, endures and recovers.
