Job Summary:

The Department of Neurology at the University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus is seeking to recruit a dynamic candidate to expand its clinical and/or basic science research programs within our Behavioral Section. The position is full time faculty, with the opportunity for academic promotion, which is determined on criteria of demonstrated excellence in the areas of education, research, clinical care, and community service. We are seeking individuals who are collaborative, communicative, caring, detail oriented, organized, proactive, able to think critically, focused on quality, dedicated to personal growth, and highly motivated. The Department is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and candidates who will help the Department expand DEI are strongly encouraged to apply.

The duties for this faculty position include teaching, research, clinical service, and administrative duties, leadership, and other roles. The overall distribution of such activities and allocation of responsibilities is determined by the Section Head based on section needs and faculty member skills, interests, appointments, and funding, amongst other appropriate considerations. Applicant must be willing to care for patients with a chronic, sometimes severe illness and be willing to perform procedures with training (including Lumbar punctures)

Specific responsibilities include providing subspecialty care to patients with Alzheimer's, Dementia, and other neurodegenerative conditions. The section has numerous grants and contracts for clinical research alone and several members also collaborate on all studies a either principal investigator or co-investigator. The section's clinical research program represents a balance between contract studies and investigator-initiated studies including funding from NINDS, NMSS, and PCORI. Additional obligations include supervision of medical students, residents, fellows supervision of patient procedures, and teaching of the house-staff as well as students.

Teaching activities including attending neurology services, leading teaching conferences and training medical students, residents and fellows.

Research, scholarship, and educational activities derive from faculty member's specific interests related to the field of Behavioral Neurology. All faculty participate in academic endeavors, including the educational conferences, research and scholarly activities of the section and the department. The section and the department assist in developing individual, scholarly projects via access to and the assistance of the department's well-established research support infrastructure (centralized within the department), including 15-20 highly efficient research coordinators.

Administrative responsibilities will include data entry into hospital systems, development of critical pathways, committee work, and projects aimed at improving the section and department functions. It is assumed the bulk of this non-clinical time will be spent working toward the production of scholarship activities. Attendance at meetings and educational events of the department and sections programs is expected.

Other duties may be assigned as need arises.

Work Location: This role is hybrid; mostly located on campus but also includes some Telehealth remote work.
