Program Description:
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.
Dr. Eric Hollander is a Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and the Director of the Autism and OCD Program at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medicine. He has been the PI of 10 federal grants, authored 528 publications, has 22,574 citations and an h-index of 84. He was chair of the DSM-5 Research Planning Agenda for Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorder; was director and PI of the NIH STAART Autism Center of Excellence, and PI of the NIMH Psychopharmacology Training Fellowship. The program has received funding from the Department of Defense, and the Orphan Products Division of FDA, for autism, body dysmorphic disorder, and Prader Willi Syndrome.
Fellowship Description:
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.
