Moss Rehabilitation Research
Institute (MRRI) seeks an Institute Investigator to join our historic program
in language and cognition and help build the next generation of translational
neuroscience/neurorehab research.
The successful applicant is
expected to conduct an independent program of research and to participate in research
collaborations within and outside MRRI. The ideal candidate is a cognitive,
clinical, or neuroscientist or speech-language pathologist who studies language
or related cognitive disorders, and who may also conduct research in
translating basic science findings to improve clinical practice. Preference
will be given to candidates who complement the faculty’s interests in areas
like language processing, language learning, semantics, action planning,
cognitive control, neuromodulation, neuroplasticity, and/or lesion-symptom
mapping (for details, consult our website: www.mrri.org).
Candidates must have a Ph.D.
in a relevant area. Evidence of research
productivity and prior grant funding are required, as salaries and labs at MRRI
are partially grant supported. Qualified candidates at all levels are
welcome to apply. We offer a competitive
start-up package, and ongoing salary support is available.
MRRI is known internationally
for its research in neuroscience and neurorehabilitation, including a long
tradition of ground-breaking research in aphasia. Our unique resources include a large research
registry of stroke and TBI research volunteers, and the long-running MossRehab
Aphasia Center, a venue for life participation activities, training, and
research. MRRI is renowned for its supportive, collegial environment, peer
mentoring, and collaborative ties with Philadelphia’s outstanding colleges and
universities. In particular, we have long-standing collaborations with the
neurology and neuroimaging faculty at the University of Pennsylvania, with
grant supported projects in structural and functional neuroimaging, TMS, and
tDCS.
Einstein Healthcare Network
is proud to offer our employees outstanding career opportunities including
