High priority will be given to candidates with a track record in AD and ADRD research who can work closely with the ADRC’s Clinical Core. Successful candidates for this position will have an outstanding record of research, as well as evidence of excellent teaching and mentoring, and a commitment to equity and diversity. Candidates must have a doctoral degree in psychology or equivalent (MD/DO/PhD), with a specialization in clinical psychology or neuropsychology and eligibility for licensure.
