The College of Health Professions at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is recruiting for a senior faculty member (Associate Professor or Professor rank) to establish a neurorehabilitation research program within the Department of Health Sciences & Research. We are especially focused on multisystem, whole person approaches to rehabilitation involving multidisciplinary teams capable of addressing issues faced by individuals across the spectrum of injury/disease (with and without disabilities). Accordingly, in addition to this senior leader, it is anticipated that we will add one or two additional junior or mid-career faculty hires, allowing the senior recruit to either bring researchers with them or lead the recruitment of synergistic faculty to facilitate their vision. Areas of interest that are synergistic with existing research programs at MUSC include cognitive and physical rehabilitation of aging related dysfunction, cognitive effects/benefits of exercise, neural control of movement, brain stimulation/neuromodulation, mindfulness and other rehabilitation approaches for improving brain and body function. Expertise in brain health, especially studying the overlapping neurocircuitry involved in neuroplasticity/neural recovery and aging/degeneration processes is considered a priority area of interest. We are looking for a researcher capable of developing a research program that will synergize with the exceptionally strong local environment in neurorehabilitation provided by two existing NIH-funded centers - the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence for Restoration of Neural-Based Function and the Neuro-PRECISE: Center for Advancing Precision Neural Circuit-Based Rehabilitation - amongst the total research funding of nearly $17.2 million received in fiscal year 2024 (ranked 11th nationally in NIH funding for Schools of Allied Health Professions). Additionally, in fall 2026 the College of Health Professions will open 15,000 sq. ft. of new research space, the Center for the Restoration of Neural-Based Function in the Real World (the RENEW Center), which was funded by a $7.9 million NIH construction grant. This state of the art space will offer spectacular neurorehabilitation research opportunities for the candidate and their research group. In addition, we have very strong existing collaborations with individuals and groups in the College of Medicine (COM) within a greater MUSC ecosystem that includes, among others, Neuroscience, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Psychiatry, Cardiology, Oncology, Pathology and Public Health Sciences. Potential areas for collaboration include; cognitive assessments and interventions for individuals with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias; Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury and other conditions; neuroplasticity and brain health; post-acute care services and outcomes; neuropsychological, language/communication, behavioral and psychosocial function related to neural impairment; neuromodulation methods (TMS, tDCS, VNS); neuroimaging (fMRI, PET, EEG, diffusion, MRS, TMS-fMRI-EEG); neurodegeneration biomarkers; advanced statistical approaches (machine learning); and connectomes.
Job Duties:
100% - The successful applicant will collaborate with and complement current research teams/centers to help grow and expand neurorehabilitation research at MUSC. Key centers and collaborative opportunities include:
* Center for Rehabilitation Research in Neurological Conditions
***********************************
* Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Stroke Recovery (NIH funded)
*********************************************
* The Center for Healthy Aging
***************************************************
* Center for Health Data Innovation & Impact
*************************************************
* MUSC Institute for Neuroscience Discovery (MIND)
**********************************************************
* South Carolina Alzheimer's Network (SCAN) - based at MUSC
***************************************************************************
Review of candidates will begin as received and continue until the position is filled.
Please submit your CV and a 1-2 page Research Program Vision Statement with your application.
Preferred Experience & Additional Skills:
Competitive applicants should have a history of obtaining external research funding as well as strong skills in fostering collaborations, expertise in cutting-edge research methodologies and design, and a strong desire to help shape the future of neurorehabilitation. Candidates must possess a PhD in a field related to cognitive or rehabilitation science and have extensive experience collaborating with rehabilitation scientists. Academic appointments will be in the College of Health Professions, Department of Health Sciences & Research. Secondary academic appointments may also be available in the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences (e.g., Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology) or other departments at MUSC dependent on candidate qualifications and teaching interests. A joint VA research appointment is also a possibility (need not be a current VA investigator).

The College of Health Professions at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is recruiting for a senior faculty member (Associate Professor or Professor rank) to establish a neurorehabilitation research program within the Department of Health Sciences & Research. We are especially focused on multisystem, whole person approaches to rehabilitation involving multidisciplinary teams capable of addressing issues faced by individuals across the spectrum of injury/disease (with and without disabilities). Accordingly, in addition to this senior leader, it is anticipated that we will add one or two additional junior or mid-career faculty hires, allowing the senior recruit to either bring researchers with them or lead the recruitment of synergistic faculty to facilitate their vision. Areas of interest that are synergistic with existing research programs at MUSC include cognitive and physical rehabilitation of aging related dysfunction, cognitive effects/benefits of exercise, neural control of movement, brain stimulation/neuromodulation, mindfulness and other rehabilitation approaches for improving brain and body function. Expertise in brain health, especially studying the overlapping neurocircuitry involved in neuroplasticity/neural recovery and aging/degeneration processes is considered a priority area of interest. We are looking for a researcher capable of developing a research program that will synergize with the exceptionally strong local environment in neurorehabilitation provided by two existing NIH-funded centers - the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence for Restoration of Neural-Based Function and the Neuro-PRECISE: Center for Advancing Precision Neural Circuit-Based Rehabilitation - amongst the total research funding of nearly $17.2 million received in fiscal year 2024 (ranked 11th nationally in NIH funding for Schools of Allied Health Professions). Additionally, in fall 2026 the College of Health Professions will open 15,000 sq. ft. of new research space, the Center for the Restoration of Neural-Based Function in the Real World (the RENEW Center), which was funded by a $7.9 million NIH construction grant. This state of the art space will offer spectacular neurorehabilitation research opportunities for the candidate and their research group. In addition, we have very strong existing collaborations with individuals and groups in the College of Medicine (COM) within a greater MUSC ecosystem that includes, among others, Neuroscience, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Psychiatry, Cardiology, Oncology, Pathology and Public Health Sciences. Potential areas for collaboration include; cognitive assessments and interventions for individuals with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias; Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury and other conditions; neuroplasticity and brain health; post-acute care services and outcomes; neuropsychological, language/communication, behavioral and psychosocial function related to neural impairment; neuromodulation methods (TMS, tDCS, VNS); neuroimaging (fMRI, PET, EEG, diffusion, MRS, TMS-fMRI-EEG); neurodegeneration biomarkers; advanced statistical approaches (machine learning); and connectomes.
Job Duties:
100% - The successful applicant will collaborate with and complement current research teams/centers to help grow and expand neurorehabilitation research at MUSC. Key centers and collaborative opportunities include:
• Center for Rehabilitation Research in Neurological Conditions
***********************************
• Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Stroke Recovery (NIH funded)
