SENIOR RESEARCH SCIENTISTWILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATESJOB DESCRIPTIONWith an internationally-recognized center for the care of children with cerebral palsy (CP) and burgeoning strengths in biomedical research and pediatric neuroscience, the Nemours Children's Hospital in Wilmington, Delaware (NCH-DE), seeks a
Senior Research Scientist
to work synergistically with our clinical and research programs. The Senior Research Scientist will establish a sustainable, laboratory-based program to advance research frontiers in areas of importance to CP patients and their families and to improve understanding of the fundamental mechanisms leading to the profound disability and orthopedic manifestations of CP. The ideal candidate will be scientifically independent with a track record of successful grant funding and publication. Applicants with diverse scientific expertise that support these broad goals and that synergize with the existing clinical and research strengths at NCH-DE will be considered. Clinician scientists are encouraged to apply.As one of the largest pediatric centers in the country, NCH-DE offers state-of-the-art CP expertise and services with a Gait and Motion Analysis Lab that is one of just a few fully accredited gait labs in the U.S. As a sign of the continued excellence of our therapy services and facilities, we were recently re-accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) International.

U.S. News & World Report . NCH-DE has deep and broad expertise in all aspects of the care of children with CP at all life stages. And research from Nemours is expanding horizons for CP research - including possibilities for fundamental advances in epigenetics and molecular pathways, muscle biology, bone deformations, diagnostic & prognostic biomarkers, and advanced therapies. The successful candidate will join a growing group of biomedical researchers in an advanced facility that houses a highly-collaborative research environment with access to extensive core services and support. Recent expansion of biomedical research programs in this facility have added substantial strengths in neuroscience, the effects of perinatal injury, sepsis, advanced imaging, and pre-clinical models of neurologic disease including epilepsy.Research programs at NCH-DE are integrated across the research and clinical enterprise, and there is a strong and growing mentoring program for researchers.
