Summary

The Rush Alzheimers Disease Center is seeking a Research Scientist II. This person will be involved in helping to examine how life-course risk factors interact with plasma biomarkers and genetics to influence cognitive decline in the Black Womens Health Study. The Black Womens Health Study (BWHS), initiated in 1995 to assess causes of cancers and non-malignant illnesses among Black women, is conducting a cognitive aging study with Rush University. The position at Rush will utilize knowledge of cognitive function, epidemiology, and health disparities, statistics, and other fields. Specific conditions of study will include cognitive decline, Alzheimers disease, related dementias, health disparities, and others. This person will troubleshoot and evaluate data, contribute to planning of analyses, and prepare manuscripts based on results. The work requires the application of highly specialized knowledge of neuropsychology. Some of the related techniques that may be applied in the research will include comprehensive literature reviews with summarization, working with data management and laboratories to identify variables for projects, harmonize data between BWHS and Rush cohorts, writing detailed biostatistical requests, summarizing data outputs, drafting, and revising manuscripts for publication, presentations at scientific meetings, and otherwise. The Research Scientist II is involved in training students (such as PhD candidates) and postdocs and will be expected to do occasional presentations within the scientific group.
