Neuroscience Research Analyst II, Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer's Center
Vanderbilt Health
| Description JOB SUMMARY: Department Summary: The Behavioral and Cognitive Neurology Division serves to evaluate and treat patients with behavioral and cognitive symptoms that are a result of aging, neurodegeneration, or neurological disease. These progressive changes in the way individuals think and behave are most often related to structural changes in the brain that can be caused by Alzheimer's disease, Frontotemporal Dementia, Vascular Dementia, Lewy Body disease and other neurological illnesses. As life expectancy is extended, a corresponding increase in these disorders means there is a growing need for academic physicians serving these populations in clinical care, education, and research. Vanderbilt is on the forefront of interdisciplinary care for Behavioral and Cognitive Neurology, with a particular emphasis on research. Expert faculty members work interdepartmentally to evaluate symptoms and discover ways to diagnose and manage symptoms through clinical and family interviews, neurologic exam, neuropsychological testing, neuroimaging, laboratory work, and an abundance of ongoing research. This commitment to discovery medicine enables faculty to offer breakthrough management options for patients and their families. .
