Clinical Scientist- Neuroscience or Rehabilitation
Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare has two open Clinical Scientist opportunities.
The PhD scientist will provide oversight and leadership of the Rehabilitation Research Program or Neurosciences Research Program in a dyad role with the Rehabilitation Research or Neuorscience Research physician leader/s. They will establish and identify research needs and priorities within the Cerebral Palsy Institute and will design, conduct, facilitate, and disseminate clinically focused research that aligns with the vision and mission of the Rehabilitation Research Program or Neuroscience Research Program and the Gillette mission and strategy. The incumbent will also provide mentorship, teaching, and supervision to clinical staff in the review, design, analyses, and dissemination of clinical research.
Specific duties are determined by the work setting or patient population served; however, in all positions, serving patients with challenging and complex conditions requires a concentration of specialized staff able to work in highly coordinated teams. We organize care around each patient’s condition which requires staff at multiple levels and across many departments to exhibit exceptional teamwork qualities including communicating efficiently and effectively and adopting the behaviors required for high functioning integrated teams, consistent with our Gillette CARES expectations.
Major Challenges
Prioritizing continuous, multiple interpersonal interactions, projects and deadlines with clinicians while balancing your own related research projects and deadlines.
