Open Rank Tenure Track Faculty in Neurodegenerative Disorders, Treatment and Systems Solutions

The Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research (IFH), a unit of Rutgers Health, is recruiting tenured/tenure-track faculty as part of the Addressing Health Equity in Age-related Disorders (AHEAD) strategic diversity cluster hire supported by the Rutgers Presidential Diversity Hiring Initiative.

About the Addressing Health Equity in Age-related Disorders (AHEAD) Initiative

This recruitment is part of a larger AHEAD initiative that is recruiting faculty members across multiple Rutgers units including the Schools of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Social Work and Rutgers Health Brain Health Institute and Institute for Health. The Institute for Health plans to hire up to two AHEAD faculty members for the positions described in this announcement.

The faculty hired under this recruitment will advance knowledge of other neurodegenerative disorders and their treatment and systems and supports to help people experience a higher quality of life and contribute to deepening understanding of the behavioral, social, racial, ethnic, and other systemic disparities associated with these disorders. Age-related conditions are of special interest (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body disease, frontotemporal degeneration, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, vascular cognitive impairment/dementia, and multiple sclerosis) although investigators studying other conditions of the central nervous system are also encouraged to apply.
