Rutgers Brain Health Institute ( BHI ) seeks to recruit outstanding federally funded faculty to help execute our mission of building a world-class translational neuroscience research program in one of the leading academic medical centers in the United States. Openings will be filled at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor.

These research topics comprise the four focus areas at BHI , which is the home for the overall Rutgers neuroscience initiative. BHI is a growing interdisciplinary institute consisting of more than 300 principal investigators with neuroscience laboratories across various campuses of Rutgers University. The newly formed Rutgers Health, an innovative, statewide academic health care provider organization across New Jersey that brings together all Rutgers clinical activities under one umbrella, will facilitate the clinical research activities.

With 2 teaching hospitals and over 300 neuroscience faculty labs in Newark, New Brunswick, and Piscataway, as well as proximity to the New York, Princeton and Philadelphia neuroscience communities, Rutgers offers tremendous collaborative opportunities and core facilities to support a robust translational and clinical research program.
