The successful candidate will have current NIH grant funding and evidence of current or potential impact on their field of interest through publications and other significant contributions. As one of only two independent medical school departments wholly dedicated to child and adolescent psychiatry in the nation, NYU Langone Health's Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is on the forefront of change, transforming child and adolescent mental healthcare through innovative education, research, patient care and community engagement. Comprised of over 100 clinicians, researchers and educators, a substantial NIH funding portfolio and more than 45k patient visits annually, our highly specialized team combines passion, purpose and precision to support the distinct strengths and challenges of every child. Through leading-edge treatments, training, and research and technologies, we address the unmet and urgent mental health needs of children, families and communities everywhere. Our Child and Adolescent Psychiatry research program spans basic science, clinical research, and population health, and our investigators collaborate with experts across NYU Langone and at other institutions to study autism, depression, ADHD, anxiety and disruptive disorders, eating disorders, trauma, parent-child relationships, gender and sexuality, clinical effectiveness, and many other areas of psychiatry and psychology. Breadth of our research includes serving as primary recruitment sites for the NIH HEALthy Brains and Child Development (HBCD) national study and the NIH RECOVER COVID national pediatric study.

We utilize two research-dedicated Siemens 3.0T Prisma scanners located within 10 minutes of our Midtown location. Our department prioritizes inclusivity, accessibility and neurodiversity in research. Notably, the research and clinical enterprises of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry are co-located in the same space, which facilitates significant clinical-research collaboration and opportunity for translation and implementation science. Our clinical programs provide services to children and families at multiple locations across New York City and the surrounding areas.

Our educational programs include Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies for NYU undergraduates and advanced training for medical, nursing, and social work students, including a child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship and child and adolescent psychology fellowships, internships, and externships. We proudly serve as a New York City Regional Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders, one of seven sites across the state to offer professional training to improve access to services and outcomes for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We have a community-based webinar and workshop series that provide families, healthcare professionals and educational professionals with information on the latest research and clinical approaches for a range of mental health and behavioral concerns. We maintain several internal programs for growth and development, including a facilitated dialogue series led by our departmental Anti-Racism Task Force.
