Autism and OCD Research Fellowship

The Autism and Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Program is located in the Psychiatry Research Institute at Montefiore Einstein (PRIME) at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, NY. We aim to develop innovative, novel and breakthrough treatments for unique overlapping conditions; and to clarify underlying mechanisms that underlie core symptom domains across these conditions.

Our Autism and Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Program focuses on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), and Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) and Tourette Syndrome (TS). Our work seeks to bridge and translate basic neuroscience discoveries into innovative experimental therapeutics and new clinical treatments.

We are seeking a full-time fellow to work with our interdisciplinary team of physicians and psychologists on novel pharmacological studies for the treatment of Autism, Prader-Willi Syndrome, OCD and related disorders. The research fellow will work directly under the Principal Investigator and Director, Dr. Eric Hollander.
