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.

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.
