Posted 1 week ago – Be among the first 25 applicants
Posting Summary We seek an accomplished scientist or physician‑scientist eligible for the rank of tenured Associate or Full Professor to join the Department of Neurosurgery under new leadership at Rutgers Health and Rutgers Brain Health Institute as Director of the new Neurotechnology Innovation Center (NTICe). NTICe aims to develop a world‑class research center that serves as a platform for interdisciplinary collaborations among basic and translational scientists, clinicians, engineers, and industry partners to propel discovery of innovative, groundbreaking neurotechnology that can be translated from the bench to the bedside to treat debilitating neurological and psychiatric diseases.
Ideal candidate:
A leader in Translational Neuroscience, Neurosurgery, Neurology, Psychiatry, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, or Biomedical Engineering with an established track record of federally funded research and academic productivity. Candidates with broad interdisciplinary interests in neurotechnology – e.g., brain‑machine interface, neural prosthetics, gene‑based neuromodulation – are encouraged. The candidate should have demonstrated ability to organize and coordinate multidisciplinary research teams and possess leadership skills to create an inclusive and culturally diverse collaborative milieu.
We offer considerable resources to develop and advance NTICe and to support the Director’s own research. The Director will build on existing strengths in Neuroscience, Neurosurgery, Neurology, Psychiatry, Engineering, Data Science, Medical Device Development, Biotechnology, Technology Transfer, and Industry‑Faculty Partnership to spearhead pioneering breakthroughs in neurotechnology and improve existing approaches and devices to treat neurological and psychiatric conditions.
Overview Rutgers offers a vibrant collaborative environment across its Newark, New Brunswick/Piscataway, and Camden campuses. Rutgers Health comprises nine schools, including New Jersey Medical School, Robert W. Johnson Medical School, School of Health Professions, and School of Public Health. The School of Engineering features seven departments, including Biomedical Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering, and Industrial & Systems Engineering, with expertise in cell & tissue engineering, neuroprosthetics, neural imaging, signal processing, neural networks & AI, robotics, biomechanics, biocompatible materials, nanotechnology, and neural systems integration. The School of Arts and Sciences houses the Computer Science department with expertise in computational neural modeling and data analytics.
The large research network includes basic scientists, clinician‑scientists, and clinicians within Rutgers and partner institutions such as New Jersey Institute of Technology, Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation, East Orange VA Medical Center, and Princeton University. With an NIH CTSA and a Comprehensive NCI Cancer Center, Rutgers can accelerate translation of research discoveries into improved patient care. The NTICe will be located in the new Rutgers Health Building in New Brunswick, close to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, Bristol‑Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital, and Nokia Bell Labs, providing incubator space for start‑up companies.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to be women and underrepresented in medicine candidates. Submit a CV, statement of research accomplishments, and names of three to five references to Stella Elkabes, Ph.D., Chair of the search committee, at bhi@bhi.rutgers.edu.
