The Senior Research Scientist will establish a sustainable, laboratory-based program to advance research frontiers in areas of importance to CP patients and their families and to improve understanding of the fundamental mechanisms leading to the profound disability and orthopedic manifestations of CP. The ideal candidate will be scientifically independent with a track record of successful grant funding and publication. Applicants with diverse scientific expertise that support these broad goals and that synergize with the existing clinical and research strengths at NCH-DE will be considered. Clinician scientists are encouraged to apply. As one of the largest pediatric centers in the country, NCH-DE offers state-of-the-art CP expertise and services with a Gait and Motion Analysis Lab that is one of just a few fully accredited gait labs in the U.S. As a sign of the continued excellence of our therapy services and facilities, we were recently re-accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) International. And our orthopedics program, which follows one of the largest cohorts of children with CP anywhere, is consistently ranked among the best in the country by U.S. News & World Report . NCH-DE has deep and broad expertise in all aspects of the care of children with CP at all life stages. And research from Nemours is expanding horizons for CP research - including possibilities for fundamental advances in epigenetics and molecular pathways, muscle biology, bone deformations, diagnostic & prognostic biomarkers, and advanced therapies. The successful candidate will join a growing group of biomedical researchers in an advanced facility that houses a highly-collaborative research environment with access to extensive core services and support. Recent expansion of biomedical research programs in this facility have added substantial strengths in neuroscience, the effects of perinatal injury, sepsis, advanced imaging, and pre-clinical models of neurologic disease including epilepsy. Research programs at NCH-DE are integrated across the research and clinical enterprise, and there is a strong and growing mentoring program for researchers. The Senior Research Scientist will be expected to foster the growth of this integrated and supportive culture. Faculty at NCH-DE typically have academic appointments with the nearby Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. Options are also possible for academic affiliation with the University of Delaware, which has strong programs in their Colleges of Engineering, Health Sciences, and Arts and Sciences. NCH-DE is located in the beautiful and historic Brandywine Valley with easy access to the Mid-Atlantic region from New York City to Washington, DC. We are seeking a driven and collaborative academician and innovator who can synergize with clinicians and scientists to dramatically advance research. The preferred candidate will be at the Associate Professor level or near to advancing to that level. Package of support will be commensurate to the applicant's qualifications. Interested candidates can contact us directly at the emails below with a CV and letter of interest. All applications will be treated confidentially.
