and Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Program Clinical Research Fellowship

Our program is currently recruiting licensed physicians for research fellowships at the Autism and Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Program, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medicine, directed by Eric Hollander, MD.

Program Description We are located in the Research Institute at Montefiore Einstein (PRIME) of Albert Einstein College of Medicine. The Autism and Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Program focuses on 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 (TS). We aim to develop innovative, novel and breakthrough treatments for unique overlapping conditions; and to clarify the underlying mechanisms of core symptom domains across these conditions. Our work seeks to bridge and translate basic neuroscience discoveries into innovative experimental therapeutics and new clinical treatments.

Our 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. We also work with multiple industry partners to study novel compounds in these and related populations. Our Clinical Director, Dr. Eric Hollander, is a Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.
