Seeking Candidates: Director, BU Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center
Dr. Neil Kowall would like to retire from the position of Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) Director, and thus we are seeking candidates for the ADRC Directorship position.
The director of the Boston University Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center reports to the BUSM Dean and will be an MD, PhD or equivalent, with an outstanding record of federal funding, leadership, rigorous research and mentorship in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias sufficient for a professor-level rank, and an inspiring leader who will guide the growth of Alzheimer's disease research at BUSM.
They are expected to pursue research that will advance our understanding of the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, and to improve therapeutics. The successful candidate will have a bold, purpose-driven mission that builds on existing expertise and resources at Boston University and will demonstrate a commitment to diversity and inclusion in the brain sciences. They are responsible for the overall organization and performance of the Center, and with the ADRC Executive Committee, responsible for its governance and fiscal decision-making.
Interested candidates should send a cover letter and CV to BUSMDean@bu.edu. Applications will remain open until a candidate is selected.
