Translational impact is expected of all research programs, and interactions with clinical colleagues that foster translational research programs are encouraged. Development of collaborative efforts with investigators in the department and/or in the greater neuroscience community at the School of Medicine and across the University are also encouraged.
Teaching: The successful candidate is also expected to support departmental teaching activities. Principal among these will be the training of MS and PhD students and postdoctoral scholars in research methods and scientific writing.
