The Neuroscience Research Axis of the CRCHUM and the Department of Psychiatry and Addictology of the UdeM are inviting applications for a faculty position in human addiction and mental health. Early career candidates are encouraged to apply (exceptional mid-career applicants will also be considered).

The candidate will be expected to develop an independent, competitive, and original research program that addresses questions linking expertise in digital phenotyping, ‘omics’ approaches (e.g., epigenomics, transcriptomics, etc.), the study of mechanisms underlying therapeutic approaches and/or functional brain imaging (MEG, PET, fMRI, etc.) applied to addiction and psychiatric comorbidities. Individuals with expertise in combining multiple cutting-edge approaches and working with human data and samples, or in conducting high-level analyses based on artificial intelligence and/or precision medicine, are strongly encouraged to apply. The selected candidate will be expected to foster collaborations with researchers within the Neuroscience Research Axis and other research axes at the CRCHUM, as well as with members of the Department of Psychiatry of the Centre hospitalier de l’UdeM (CHUM).

The CRCHUM is one of the largest hospital-based research centers in North America, with nearly 500 researchers. The Neuroscience Research Axis at the CRCHUM is primarily dedicated to uncovering the biological, environmental, and social mechanisms underlying nervous system disorders, and to developing innovative therapies to prevent, treat, or cure them. The axis includes 21 regular researchers (including 11 clinician-scientists) working across five main research themes: neurodegeneration/neurorepair, neuroimmunology, epilepsy, neurovascular research, and addiction/mental health. The UdeM is one of the world’s leading research universities, and represents the primary hub of higher education in the province of Quebec. The Department of Psychiatry and Addictology of the UdeM includes more than 330 professors and researchers across multiple sites, conducting clinical, epidemiological, basic, and social science research. The Department plays a key role in training psychiatrists and researchers with interest in mental health and substance use disorders in Quebec.
