Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Professor at CUMC - Women's Mental Hea - NY Staffing : Job Details

The Research-to-Practice Center for the Transition to Parenthood, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, invites applicants for two open-rank non-tenure track positions with flexible start dates in 2025. We seek outstanding and innovative scientists with established or emerging research programs and success in garnering extramural funding.

Candidates' research must encompass one of the following themes: (1) neuroscience and/or mechanistic studies in the perinatal period focused on either generation, specifically, the prenatal influences on children's brain-behavior development or brain-behavior changes in parents-to-be or perinatal mental health; (2) implementation science that includes expertise or interest in women's mental health, father and/or partner's mental health, or broadly parent and child well-being in the transition to parenthood.

The Center, recently funded by the Bezos Family Foundation, aims to generate and leverage research to transform the prenatal ecosystem towards whole-person, two-generation, equitable, prenatal care.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. or equivalent and will be expected to maintain an active, extramurally funded research program, as well as their independent research lab, and to mentor post-docs. There are potential opportunities to teach as adjunct faculty at Columbia or Barnard College, and, for those with a clinical degree, to work in the Center's Women's Mental Health @Ob/Gyn clinical service integrated in the Department's clinical practices. Salary, start-up funds, and other considerations will be consistent with Columbia's commitment to recruit and retain exceptional individuals. Currently, hybrid-work arrangements (2-days minimum in the office) are in effect.

Applicants should apply online and submit a CV, a one-two page cover letter describing their research program, three representative publications, and three references letters. This position is subject to the University's background check policy. Applications are open to US citizens, permanent residents, and non-residents eligible for appropriate work or exchange visas. Review of applications will be on a rolling basis and continue until the positions are filled.
