Posting Summary
Rutgers University Department of Neurosurgery at Robert Wood Johnson and New Jersey Medical Schools and Rutgers Brain Health Institute (BHI) seek to recruit outstanding federally funded faculty to help execute our mission of building a world-class translational neuroscience research program in one of the leading academic medical centers in the United States. Openings will be filled at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. The Departments of Neurosurgery at Robert Wood Johnson and New Jersey Medical Schools, under the leadership of newly recruited Chair, Dr. Robert Gross, MD, PhD, is composed of basic and translational research scientists, clinician scientists, and clinicians working collaboratively on high-impact basic and clinical research. The scientific focus of the Department is on bench-to-bedside research to understand mechanisms of disease development, progression, and prevention in the areas of epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, movement disorders, memory dysfunction, psychiatric disorders (e.g., addiction), and cancer; and to translate research findings into novel therapeutic approaches with a particular focus on neuromodulation, gene and cell therapy, metabolism, and epigenetics. In addition, we apply in vivo recording and neuroimaging techniques in understanding disease processes and monitoring their response to therapy. These research topics are also part of the four focus areas at BHI, which is the home for the overall Rutgers neuroscience initiative. BHI is a growing interdisciplinary institute consisting of more than 300 principal investigators with neuroscience laboratories across various campuses of Rutgers University.
