Rutgers University, Piscataway, New Jersey, United States
Director of Neurotechnology Innovation Center at Rutgers Brain Health Institute
We seek an accomplished scientist or physician-scientist eligible for the rank of tenured Associate or Full Professor to join the Department of Neurosurgery at Rutgers Health and Rutgers Brain Health Institute as Director of the new Neurotechnology Innovation Center (NTICe). The goal of NTICe is to develop a world-class research center that serves as a platform for interdisciplinary collaborations among basic and translational scientists, clinicians, engineers, and industry partners to propel the discovery of innovative neurotechnology that can be brought from the bench to the bedside to treat debilitating neurological and psychiatric diseases. The ideal candidate will be a leader in Translational Neuroscience, Neurosurgery, Neurology, Psychiatry, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, or Biomedical Engineering with an established track record of federally funded research and academic productivity. We seek candidates with a broad interdisciplinary interest in neurotechnology (e.g., brain-machine interface, neural prosthetics, gene-based neuromodulation). The candidate should also have demonstrated the ability to organize and coordinate efforts among researchers from multidisciplinary scientific and medical backgrounds and possess leadership skills to create an inclusive and culturally diverse collaborative environment. We offer considerable resources to develop and advance NTICe and to support the Director’s own research. The Director will build on existing strengths at Rutgers in Neuroscience, Neurosurgery, Neurology, Psychiatry, Engineering, Data Science, Medical Device Development, Biotechnology, Technology Transfer, and Industry-Faculty Partnership to spearhead pioneering breakthroughs in neurotechnology and improve existing approaches and devices to treat neurological and psychiatric conditions. Qualifications
Minimum Education and Experience:
Applicants must hold a Ph.D., M.D., M.D./Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree. Must have an established track record of federally funded research and currently active US federal funding. Experience with translating research into early-stage clinical trials and/or start-ups will be viewed favorably. Rutgers values a culturally diverse faculty; we strongly encourage applications from women and underrepresented in medicine candidates. Applicants should submit a CV, statement of research accomplishments, and names of three to five references to Stella Elkabes, Ph.D., Chair of the search committee, at
