Post-Doctoral Associate
Rutgers University
Recruitment/Posting Title Post-Doctoral Associate Department SASN - Center for Molecular & Behavioral Neuroscience (CMBN) Salary Open Posting Summary The Aging & Brain Health Alliance in the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience at Rutgers University-Newark seeks a Post-Doctoral Associate interested in applying a broad range of techniques and methodologies to the study of aging and Alzheimer’s disease prevention in older urban African Americans.
Specifically, this position requires expertise in neuropsychology, with a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, or experimental psychology. We seek a candidate with a strong background in behavioral studies of cognition, especially in the elderly or in those with neurological disorders.
This opportunity includes collaboration on new data collection and/or secondary data analysis from the Pathways to Healthy Aging in African Americans longitudinal cohort study (NIH/NIA R01AG053961) and the Exercise to Improve Brain Health in Older African Americans randomized controlled trial (NIH/NIA R01AG078211). Primary responsibilities include data management (e.g., merging datasets, longitudinal data management, creating variables), and data analysis (e.g., advanced multivariate and longitudinal analyses such as latent class analysis, mixed effects models, structural equation modeling, linear and logistic regression). The position offers the opportunity to build and develop skills related to research including, training in career development and the disciplines of neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience and gerontology; serving as a leader within a research team (e.g., managing projects and mentoring research assistants and students); data management and analysis; development of manuscripts and conference presentations; and development of one’s own line of research.
We have an extensive program of community engagement in the Greater Newark area through which we recruit older African Americans into both longitudinal cohort studies and non-pharmacological intervention clinical trials. We have a large (over 50 people) interdisciplinary team, with over a dozen affiliated faculty members, postdoctoral personnel, staff, and students from neuroscience, psychology, public health, toxicology, criminology, biostatistics, kinesiology, and other fields.
