Career Opportunities

The Center for OCD and Related Disorders is pleased to provide you with insight into the exciting career prospects within our dynamic research clinic.

Current Opportunities

The Center for OCD and Related Disorders is recruiting two postdoctoral research fellows (MD, PhD/PsyD, or MD, PhD) to start Summer 2026. These positions will be funded by NIMH T32 awards.

One T32 is focused on implementation science. The fellow would work with Drs. Sapana Patel and Blair Simpson to improve quality of care for OCD in New York State (see IMPACT-OCD). 

The other T32 is focused on pathophysiology and treatment development. The fellow would work with Dr. Simpson and collaborators to examine how treatments affect the brain and how brain markers guide treatment development. Those with an interest in big data and/or AI are encouraged to apply.

To apply, please send a cover letter and CV by October 15th to Dr. Simpson at blair.simpson@nyspi.columbia.edu to ensure a good fit. Please note that formal T32 applications are due in November 2025.
