Neuroengineering and Computational Neuroscience - Center for Advanced Circuit Therapeutics - New York, NY

The Center for Advanced Circuit Therapeutics (c-Act) at the Icahn School of Medicine in New York invites applications from rising and established leaders in the fields of Neuroengineering and Computational Neuroscience for a tenure-track/tenured position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. 

Successful applicants will have an outstanding record of research in one or more of the following areas: real-time neural signal decoding, human invasive high-resolution electrophysiology, computational modeling of neural dynamics, machine learning approaches, responsive/closed-loop neuromodulation, and translational engineering. 

The ideal candidate will integrate with existing research projects at the c-Act and with the broader Neuroscience community at the Friedman Brain Institute and the Icahn School of Medicine, and will collaborate and lead research projects with the goal of developing novel neurotherapeutics approaches to restore or repair healthy brain function in neurologic and psychiatric diseases. 

Experience with clinical and invasive research across multiple modalities (deep brain stimulation, stereotactic EEG, single-unit recordings, invasive electrode arrays) is strongly encouraged. We are interested in scholars who demonstrate commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in the brain sciences and engineering. Applicants with postdoctoral and/or industry experience are encouraged, as are more established academic investigators.

About the Environment

Serving as a hub linking multiple scientific disciplines and clinical teams, the Nash Family Center for Advanced Circuit Therapeutics (C-ACT) brings neurosurgeons, neurologists, psychiatrists, and psychologists together with neuroimaging specialists, electrophysiologists, data scientists, engineers, and basic neuroscientists to address unmet clinical need through research. Our Center merges scientific discoveries of our research team with the empirical insights of our expert clinicians to rethink the way neuromodulation treatments are developed, personalized, and delivered to patients.

Our Center, based at Mount Sinai West, focuses on innovative research strategies to advance the use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) and other therapies to treat medication-resistant neuropsychiatric disorders including:

• Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder
• Tourette’s syndrome
• Depression
• Chronic pain
• Addiction
• Epilepsy

We seek to hire a faculty member who will work closely with the Neurosurgery, Psychiatry, Neurology and Neuroscience communities at the Icahn School of Medicine.

The Friedman Brain Institute

The Friedman Brain Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is one of the world’s premier institutions dedicated to advancing our understanding of brain and nervous system disorders, and driving innovative approaches to new treatments and diagnostic tests through translational research. We are committed to the best in education, research, clinical care, and community outreach.

Mission Statement on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Our goal is to support highly innovative research in basic and translational neuroscience by creating an equitable, diverse and inclusive environment that empowers all members of our community to contribute to scientific discovery. Our goal is to generate an equitable, diverse and inclusive environment that fosters creativity to fully understand nervous system function and develop therapies and cures for nervous system disease. We commit to listening to and learning from the many diverse voices of our community in order to remove barriers to opportunities and success while promoting equality for everyone.

Applicants must have a PhD and/or MD at the time of joining the faculty. The start date can be anytime between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025.

Compensation range from 150K to 250K (not including bonuses / incentive compensation or benefits)
