Overview
Mount Sinai Health System is seeking an Associate Director of the Brain-Body Research Institute with additional appointments in the Nash Family Department of Neuroscience, Friedman Brain Institute, Marc and Jennifer Lipschultz Precision Immunology Institute, and relevant clinical departments at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. The Mount Sinai Health System is an internationally recognized leader in neuroscience and related clinical fields. Neuroscience research at Mount Sinai is consistently among the top funded research programs nationally with the Nash Family Department of Neuroscience ranked #2, the Departments of Neurosurgery and Neurology ranked #15 and 16, respectively, the Dept of medicine ranked #10, and the Department of Psychiatry ranked #7 in NIH funding in 2022. We are committed to combining our scientific expertise with the compassionate, individualized attention that ensures the best possible clinical care. Seeking applicants currently at the rank of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor (expected appointment at Associate or Full Professor) to join Mount Sinai's world-class neuroscience, immunology and clinical medicine communities in the heart of Manhattan to work with the Director to build brain-body sciences across the Health System. We are looking for investigators addressing important questions about brain-body sciences, with a focus on cutting edge clinical and translational scientists studying either brain-organ system interactions, central and peripheral neuroimmune interfaces, or physiological mechanisms of interoception in health and disease. Investigators with programs focused on analysis of human samples and cross species approaches will be prioritized. Specific areas of clinical/translational focus include cancer neuroscience, cardiovascular biology, inflammatory disease and autoimmunity, stress neuroscience focused on understanding brain and peripheral organ system interactions (i.e., heart-brain and lung-brain interactions), or mental health and interoception.
