The successful candidate will have the extraordinary opportunity to lead efforts focused on expanding the reach of the existing successful national Alzheimer's clinical trials program at WFUSM throughout the Atrium/Advocate health system in collaboration with our NCCT. The candidate will also play a leadership role in clinical research conducted by the WFUSM NIH-funded Alzheimer's Disease Research Center of Excellence, one of only 35 such Centers, creating an immediate connection to Alzheimer's programs at premier academic institutions across the nation. Generous dedicated research time and resources will be provided to ensure the candidate's success.
