Nathan S. Kline 精神病學研究所
Nathan S. Kline 精神病學研究所（NKI）正在招聘一名研究助理，參與在強迫症（OCD）及相關障礙領域開展的腦功能與行為研究，研究由 Emily Stern 博士指導。該職位將參與組織和實施一項由美國國立衛生研究院（NIH）資助的功能磁共振成像（fMRI）研究，研究物件為強迫症（OCD）和重度抑鬱症（MDD）患者的異質性。此外，還需要協助研究者進行其他行為和神經影像學研究。
該職位的主要職責包括：
-
招募和篩選研究參與者，組織和管理心理學實驗（包括在MRI掃描器內外的實驗）。
-
參與資料整理與管理、資料分析以及實驗室的行政工作，包括協助撰寫基金申請和機構審查委員會（IRB）申請，並參與預算管理。

NKI was founded in 1952 by Dr. Nathan Kline, whose pioneering research into
psychopharmacological management of schizophrenia and major depression revolutionized treatments for
serious mental illness. The named investigators are part of the Clinical Research Department (CRD) and
Center for Biomedical Imaging and Neuromodulation (CBIN) at NKI, which contains several
investigators, trainees, and staff working on studies examining treatments and biomarkers in a variety of
psychiatric disorders. NKI’s academic affiliate is the New York University School of Medicine
(NYUSoM) located in midtown Manhattan, and investigators and trainees at NKI have access to many of
NYUSoM’s research tools and resources. NKI is located in suburban Rockland County, home to many
beautiful hiking and cycling trails overlooking the Hudson River. Located approximately 20 miles north
of New York City in Orangeburg, New York, NKI is a short drive away from Westchester County,
northeastern New Jersey, and northern points in Manhattan. This is an in-person position that is not
readily accessible via public transportation, thus access to transportation (i.e., a car) is necessary.
