Posting Summary
The Center for Advanced Human Brain Imaging Research CAHBIR a component of the Rutgers Brain Health Institute BHI on the Busch campus in Piscataway NJ is recruiting for multiple faculty positions at all levels (Assistant/Associate/Professor). We seek investigators who use innovative MRI approaches to image human brain structure and function. Individuals who utilize additional approaches such as EEG tDCS and rTMS to study human brain function would also be attractive. Applicants must have a doctoral degree and a research program with currently active US federal funding. Applicants with an MD or MD/PhD are particularly encouraged to apply. Quality of research and fit within one or more of the four focus areas of BHI are important criteria. Ideal applicants would have federally funded research programs in neurology neurosurgery pediatrics psychiatry otolaryngology or other clinical departments. We offer a highly competitive salary and an excellent startup package. With over 300 neuroscience faculty labs engaged in basic and clinical research and proximity to New York Princeton and Philadelphia neuroscience communities the BHI and CAHBIR offers tremendous collaborative opportunities and core facilities to support and grow an active research program. Outstanding core facilities will support this position including a new researchdedicated 3T Siemens Prisma MRI scanner EEG and TMS facilities and a human behavioral testing core developed and operated in collaboration with Princeton University.
