Overview The Department of Psychiatry at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) seeks Research-Track faculty at any rank to expand our research portfolio. Research-track faculty are matched to a specific research group/lab and work to support the research initiatives of that group/lab under supervision of the principal investigator and/or center director. The Department has a very robust research portfolio, with over $25 million in awards in the last fiscal year. Department research is conducted among the Rutgers Addiction Research Center, the Center for Psychiatric Health & Genomics, the Division of Addiction Psychiatry, the Center for Advanced Human Brain Imaging Research, and individual labs including basic science and animal models.

Research-Track faculty will perform research activities on behalf of the Department of Psychiatry in strategic growth areas, function collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team, and maintain effective communication with staff and administration. They are expected to have developed sufficient expertise to contribute immediately to the research initiatives of the program they join without a significant training period. They may be asked to contribute to, and/or submit as principal investigator, applications for extramural funding to support their position. The Research-Track faculty position is contingent upon continued funding availability.
