Recruitment/Posting Title RBHS Faculty Instructor (Multiple Positions) Department RWJ-Psychiatry Research Salary Commensurate With Experience Posting Summary The Department of Psychiatry at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) seeks Faculty Instructors to expand our research portfolio. Faculty Instructors are matched to a specific research group/lab and work to support the research initiatives of that group/lab under supervision. The Department of Psychiatry has a very robust research portfolio, with over $25 million in awards in the last fiscal year. Department research is generally conducted among the Rutgers Addiction Research Center (https://addiction.rutgers.edu/), the Center for Psychiatric Health & Genomics (https://cphg.rutgers.edu/), the Division of Addiction Psychiatry (https://rwjms.rutgers.edu/department/psychiatry/divisions), the Center for Advanced Human Brain Imaging Research (https://sites.rutgers.edu/cahbir/), and individual labs including basic science and animal models.
Faculty Instructors will perform research activities on behalf of the Department of Psychiatry in strategic growth areas, function collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team, and maintain effective communication with staff and administration. The Instructor position is the junior-most faculty rank, which is designed to serve as an on-ramp to other faculty tracks. Instructors will have a faculty supervisor as well as a non-supervisory faculty mentor. At the conclusion of the first two years as an Instructor, if supported by the Instructor’s supervisor and mentor, the Instructor will apply to be re-appointed to a faculty track (e.g. tenure, research, clinical, etc.). The faculty Instructor position is contingent upon continued funding availability and is limited to no more than three years.
