Can you post this listing?  Thanks!
-----------------
Senior Scientist Position

The Traumatic Brain Injury Laboratory at Kessler Medical Rehabilitation Research and Education Center (KMRREC), located in West Orange, NJ, is seeking PhD-level candidates for a research position within a non-profit rehabilitation research organization.  The Senior Research Scientist will conduct independent, externally funded clinical research and will assume an active role on the TBI Model Systems grant.  The Candidate will also direct the Mitchell Rosenthal Memorial TBI post-doctoral fellowship.  

Candidates must have a human-centered research program.  KMRREC has no wet lab capability. Experience and enthusiasm in analyzing secondary datasets would fit well with this environment, although data-driven clinical studies at KMRREC are also very diverse (for activities in our laboratories, see our website at www.kmrrec.org.)

Responsibilities will include developing and submitting applications for grant support to external funding agencies; recruiting, training, and mentoring students, junior-level scientists, and research assistants; managing grant-supported projects and developing inter-institutional collaborations.  Qualifications include at least five years of related research experience; experience leading a research program with a national reputation, directly relevant to traumatic brain injury; a history of external grant funding; strong organizational, leadership, and interpersonal skills; excellent scientific qualifications, including scientific writing; and a current academic rank of Associate Professor, Professor, or equivalent.

We offer a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits package, and recommendation for faculty appointment at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-NJ Medical School, in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Qualified candidates should submit a letter outlining their career goals and interests, CV, and sample reprints to careers at kmrrec.org.  For further information, please contact Anna Barrett, M.D., Director, Stroke Rehabilitation Research at abarrett at kmrrec.org or Elie Elovic, M.D., Director, Traumatic Brain Injury Research by e-mail at eelovic at kmrrec.org.

KMRREC is the research division of The Henry H. Kessler Foundation.  We are committed to creating a diverse, cooperative work environment.  Women, members of under-represented minority groups, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
