Research Fellowships

Research fellowships at the Montefiore Einstein Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences are fueled by a culture of interdisciplinary collaboration and supported by a robust research infrastructure, including the Psychiatry Research Institute at Montefiore Einstein (PRIME), the Harold and Muriel Block Institute for Clinical and Translational Research at Montefiore Einstein, a wide range of shared scientific facilities and cores and a community of devoted research mentors.

The scope of research activities oriented toward mental illness, addiction and behavioral health extends from fundamental science to health services research. Our investigators share an overarching commitment to marshal every plausible and promising approach for addressing the profound disability, premature mortality, suffering and stigma associated with psychiatric conditions. The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and collaborating departments are dedicated to creating new knowledge that advances the mental health and well-being of local and global communities and nurturing the research careers of promising trainees and young investigators.

Autism & Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Program Research Fellowship

Our work seeks to bridge and translate fundamental neuroscience discoveries into innovative experimental therapeutics and new clinical treatments for a unique group of overlapping conditions that include autism spectrum disorders (ASD), Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).
