We’re seeking a senior research leader to direct a comprehensive rehabilitation research program within a leading specialty rehabilitation environment. This role combines scientific leadership, research portfolio management, federal grant development, investigator mentorship, and executive-level strategy

• Lead and mentor investigators, research staff, and emerging research leaders
• Develop major research initiatives and identify funding opportunities, particularly federal research funding

.

Professionals with a strong national reputation, significant federal funding history, substantial peer-reviewed publication record, and experience leading complex research programs will be particularly well positioned for this opportunity.
