Human Neuroimaging Faculty Position in Alzheimer Disease at RutgersUnder the direction of the Herbert and Jacqueline Krieger Klein Alzheimer's Research Center at Rutgers Brain Health Institute (BHI), we seek a neuroimaging leader for a tenure-track position at the Associate or Full Professor level at BHI, and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) within Rutgers Biomedical & Health Sciences (RBHS). We seek a faculty member who is experienced using neuroimaging techniques to image human brain structure and activity as it relates to aging, Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. The successful candidate will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team including neurologists, neuropsychologists, and neuropathologists. The AD center will develop a research cohort of individuals at high risk for dementia. This cohort will be extensively phenotyped for clinical, cognitive, genetic, neuroimaging, behavioral, digital and blood biomarker measures. In addition to scientific leadership, responsibilities will also include mentorship of young investigators. Applicants must have experience in conducting neuroimaging in large-scale longitudinal studies, and an interest in studying the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease. Qualifying tenure-stream applicants must have an established scholarly record demonstrating ability to develop and lead a program of independent, NIH (or other extramurally) funded research. Successful applicant(s) will serve as a core member(s) within the new Herbert and Jacqueline Krieger Klein Alzheimer's Center at BHI, with a primary appointment in the Department of Neurology at RWJMS. The Herbert and Jacqueline Krieger Klein Alzheimer's Center is a new center within BHI at Rutgers University with the mission of establishing an interdisciplinary, integrated program to provide comprehensive research focused on prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. This center is the first of its kind in New Jersey, and the successful applicant will be integral to its development. Ideal candidates will bring vision and experience in modern aging and memory research and enthusiasm for collaborative team science and collaboration. Applicants representing diverse backgrounds of all sorts are encouraged to apply. Rutgers University is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. The AD center is actively working to ensure that our faculty composition reflects diversity. We especially welcome applications from backgrounds underrepresented in STEM (including women, Black, Latinx, Indigenous and LGBTQ+ scientists). To become a part of our vibrant community applicants should submit a CV and a brief statement of research accomplishments and plans to Dr. Michal Beeri at mbeeri@ifh.rutgers.edu and a copy to bhi@bhi.rutgers.edu
