Position Summary
The Neuroscience Institute at JFK Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey (NSI), part of the Hackensack Meridian Health Network, invites applications from outstanding neuroscientists for two faculty positions at the Assistant or Associate Professor level.
We seek excellent scientists in the areas of stroke and balance/movement disorders focusing on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease and utilizing both in vitro and small animal models. Expertise in CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing techniques is advantageous.
Current basic research strengths at NSI include molecular, cellular and systems level studies of traumatic brain and spinal cord injury, RNA biology and the epigenetics of stroke. The clinical facilities at NSI, including adult and pediatric neurology, neurosurgery and neuropsychology, are located immediately adjacent to the research division. Current clinical strengths include neurological and neurosurgical approaches to brain tumors, stroke, sleep disorders, Parkinson’s Disease, neuro-ophthalmology and neuro-otology. The Institute fosters and encourages collegial interactions between bench and clinical practitioners, affording scientists the opportunity to conduct translational research projects. Applicants with research programs that include such translational approaches are particularly encouraged to apply.
Minimum Requirements
Candidates must have a Ph.D., M.D. and/or D.Sc. degree (or equivalent) and a minimum of 3 years of postdoctoral research experience. Desired applicants should have a strong record of scholarship and a commitment to translational efforts bridging basic science discoveries with clinical applications. An established track record of participating in multidisciplinary team-based collaboration is a plus.
Rolling review of applications will commence immediately and will continue until the positions are filled. Please submit a CV, statement of research plans, three relevant publications and the names and contact details for three references to Andrew.Porter@hmhn.org
