Applications are now being accepted for the Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Neuropsychology and Neuroscience with a focus in multiple sclerosis research at Kessler Foundation.
The two-year funded program aims to prepare clinician-scientists for a career in clinical research within the specialty area of rehabilitation research. Training opportunities are provided more broadly across multiple departments, capitalizing on unique opportunities throughout the center as well as other nearby centers of excellence throughout New Jersey to pursue key clinical and research training goals. All fellows participate in an extensive training curriculum and didactic offerings. Multidisciplinary mentored training opportunities are individually tailored to achieve specific goals considering the fellows’ prior background and interests.
The successful applicant would be expected to assist in ongoing endeavors as well as develop his/her own mentored research projects. There are opportunities for fellows to join existing programs of MS research including functional neuroimaging, the assessment and rehabilitation of cognitive symptoms, functional outcomes research, cross-cultural work, virtual reality, and fatigue research. Fellows work on various aspects of research projects ranging from inception (e.g., study formulation, grant-writing, etc.) to manuscript publication. Clinical opportunities involve assessment and treatment of outpatient rehabilitation populations under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. Additional offerings are made possible through strong collaborations with additional centers including, Rutgers University, Veterans Administration New Jersey Healthcare System, and New Jersey Institute of Technology.
Salary is commensurate with NIH guidelines. Kessler Foundation is an equal opportunity employer committed to creating a diverse, cooperative work environment. Women, members of under-represented minority groups and individuals with physical disabilities are encouraged to apply. EOE/M/F/D/V
