Posting Summary

Under the direction of the Herbert and Jacqueline Krieger Klein Alzheimer's Research Center at the Brain Health Institute (BHI), we seek a faculty level expert in fluid biomarkers for a tenure-track position at the Associate or Full Professor level at BHI, and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) within Rutgers Health. We seek a faculty member who is experienced in the identification, validation, and utilization of fluid biomarkers in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD related disorders (ADRD).

The successful candidate will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team including neurologists, neuropsychologists, neuroimaging experts 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 large-scale longitudinal fluid biomarker studies, and an interest in studying the earliest stages of AD. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading and conducting cutting-edge research in fluid biomarkers associated with ADRD.

Qualifying tenure-track 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 Herbert and Jacqueline Krieger Klein Alzheimer's Center at BHI, with a primary appointment in one of the relevant departments at RWJMS, including Psychiatry, Neurology and Neurosurgery.

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 ADRD. 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 team science and collaboration.

Applicants representing diverse backgrounds of all sorts are highly encouraged to apply. Rutgers University is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. The AD research 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).
