The Department of Neurology seeks an open-rank faculty-level scientist with neurodegeneration or caregiver science expertise as part of a major University-wide investment in this area. The University of Virginia's 2030 plan recognizes Brain and Neuroscience as a major societal challenge and opportunity that draws on an existing strength. In partnership, the Provost and the Deans of various schools are making multiple, coordinated faculty recruitments to strengthen the community of neuroscientists across the University. In addition to enhancing ongoing research in the neurodegeneration/caregiver science space in the Department of Neurology, the successful recruit will also be involved in the broad University-wide initiative. Recruits will receive support from the Provost and their School Dean and will join the UVA Brain Institute and the broader neuroscience community. Areas of particular interest and strength include (but are not limited to) the discovery and characterization of early biomarkers of dementia, understanding how risk factors impact the onset of neurodegeneration, dementia, cognitive decline and caregiver health, and/or developing interventions to mitigate the onset of dementia or mitigate the negative impacts and cognitive and other health risks of caregiving.

The successful candidate will be an investigator with an MD, DO, PhD, MD PhD, or DO PhD, a record of research accomplishments demonstrating current achievements, and a strong ongoing innovative research program that can attract and sustain extramural funding. They will demonstrate the ability to facilitate connections between fundamental and applied scientists by directly linking findings from the bench to the bedside. They will be deeply committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Clinicians will be expected to be board-eligible or board-certified and provide clinical care to adults within their specialty of neurology, neuropsychology, sleep or behavioral psychology.

The University of Virginia and affiliated UVAHealth form the premier institution for medical research and clinical care in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Virginia Alzheimer’s Disease Center forms a nexus of research and scholarly activities as well as cross-discipline care for people with dementia and their caregivers. The faculty member will be welcomed into the highly collaborative environment of the University of Virginia and have ready access to several research-oriented schools and centers across the University of Virginia grounds, which provide a rich platform for shared discovery.
