"Open-Rank Faculty Position in Neuromodulation for Psychiatry"

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSUWMC) Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health is seeking several faculty members (open rank) to join our Department to complement our current strengths and enhance our research mission. We seek to hire faculty members to expand our departmental mission in neuromodulation and/or interventional psychiatry research. Our ideal candidates are clinician-researchers whose research program focuses on evidence-based neuromodulation treatments for individuals with psychiatric conditions, either in mood disorders, addictions, or combining both areas. The broad search could include any or all of the following. First expertise in use of neuromodulation techniques, including others not mentioned; such as low frequency ultrasound, transcranial magnetic stimulation, psilocybin, ketamine/esketamine, etc. Second, applicants may have expertise and funding in evaluating the mechanisms and moderators of these treatments. Third, applicants may have expertise in examining clinical and functional outcomes, treatment satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness. Although not required, the ideal candidate(s) may also have experience and demonstrated commitment to working with patients in these same areas, (be licensed or eligible) and in training residents, medical students, postdocs, and interns in these methods. The candidate must have a strong record of external research funding, as well as expertise in developing, leading or substantially contributing to clinical, education, and research programs with regard to interventional psychiatry.

Faculty will join a multi-disciplinary team of clinicians and scientists in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health and will be locating within the Mood and Anxiety Program and/or the Addiction Program. Individuals in these positions are expected to contribute to training, research, and other scholarly pursuits as well.

Those with clinical degrees must be licensed in Ohio by the time of appointment. In some cases, individuals with substantial research programs and funding, and without clinical training or eligibility may be considered for this role (e.g., Ph.D., in Cognitive Neuroscience or similar), provided they are actively interested in, and demonstrate prior commitment to training clinical professionals and supporting clinical care.
