Job Description
Assistant/Associate/Full Professor, Psychiatry, Neuroimaging AI Research (Tenure-Track)
Location: Stony Brook, New York
Open Date: Sep 30, 2025
Deadline: Nov 14, 2025 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time
Description
The Department of Psychiatry at the Renaissance School of Medicine is seeking an investigator with expertise in the development, validation, and implementation of AI applications to neuroimaging. In psychiatry, there is an increasing focus on using AI to perform whole brain analyses that identify neural signatures of mental disorders. This rapidly evolving approach is fueled by major initiatives including large multisite imaging studies such as ABCD study, ADNI, AMP schizophrenia, and ENIGMA that have been training and publishing AI models for psychopathology based on structural MRI (including Diffusion Tensor Imaging).
This hire will be able to support this type of AI research both across Stony Brook University and SUNY-wide by leading solutions to the central challenge of this work-data harmonization and data sharing. The incumbent will outline and recommend protocols for acquisition and processing of neuroimaging data according to best practices that will facilitate pooling of data from individual studies, thus producing datasets of sufficient size to allow cutting-edge AI research.
Also, the incumbent will evaluate newly published AI models and make recommendations to the SUNY-wide neuroimaging community on which of these models should be deployed in analysis of neuroimaging data and how to deploy them. The incumbent will lead efforts to implement and disseminate data analytic pipelines tested and validated in their lab, enabling other researchers across SUNY to apply these tools effectively.
The incumbent will be supported in these efforts by a working group of neuroscientists interested in AI. This group will be based at Stony Brook University (including the Neuroscience Institute) but open to faculty from other departments and SUNY schools. The working group will meet regularly via videoconference to be maximally inclusive.
The Department of Psychiatry at the Renaissance School of Medicine is home to a world-class, interdisciplinary team of investigators with robust, extramurally funded research programs. Current focus areas include schizophrenia, depression, dementia, and substance use disorders. The Department also leads multiple large cohort studies for understanding normal and psychopathological developmental trajectories. Stony Brook University maintains a broad range of pre-clinical and clinical research cores, including fMRI, PET, ECT, and TMS and the full range of clinical psychiatric inpatient and outpatient services. Department faculty collaborate with members of the Institute for AI-Driven Discovery and Innovation, an interdisciplinary collaboration of 19 labs from computer science, neuroscience, biomedical informatics, and physics.
