Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator Positions
Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator: MarkVCID
The Kramer Lab is currently accepting applications for an Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator who will have the opportunity to work on research projects aimed at developing new diagnostic and treatment approaches to Vascular Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (VCID), Alzheimer’s disease, and other related dementias. The aCRC will interface with all of the projects his team leads, with more focus on our MarkVCID study. They will be responsible for maintaining and building up studies examining the impact of vascular disease and inflammation on brain structure and function in healthy aging and neurodegenerative disease states.

Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator: Aging and Cognitive Decline
The Kramer Lab is also currently accepting applications for an Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator who will have the opportunity to delve into cutting-edge research on Aging and Cognitive Decline. The aCRC will participate on a multi-disciplinary research team examining how factors from lifestyle to genetics contribute to the aging process in the absence of neurodegenerative disease. They will contribute to a longitudinal study of over 500 cognitively normal adults, as well as subprojects examining the impact of vascular disease and inflammation on cognition in healthy aging, MCI, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Neuropsychology Postdoctoral Fellowships
Research opportunities in biological and behavioral drivers of aging and neurodegenerative disease
We are seeking curious, interdisciplinary postdoctoral fellows to contribute to ongoing clinical research and pursue related areas of their own focus on the Brain Aging for Cognitive Health (BrANCH) Team. Interest in clinical training is not required but available for qualified neuropsychology fellows. Clinical training opportunities in neuropsychology are aligned with Houston guidelines. The ideal candidate has clinical research experience, demonstrated research productivity, and is interested in specializing in cognitive aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Training in one or more of the following areas is helpful, though not necessary: molecular biology, computational biology, neuroscience, biostatistics, and/or neuropsychology.
Interested fellows will work collaboratively with our mentorship team from the UCSF Brain Aging Network for Cognitive Health (PIs: Dr. Joel Kramer, Dr. Kaitlin Casaletto, Dr. Emily Paolillo, Dr. Rowan Saloner). Postdoctoral fellows with interest in clinical training typically spend approximately 60-80% of their time engaged in research activities, 20-30% in clinical activities, and the rest of their time in training, supervision, supervising predoctoral trainees, and a wide variety of didactic opportunities.

UCSF Postdoctoral Fellowship: Kramer Lab
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biological and Biomarker Discovery of Cognitive Aging and Neurodegeneration
We are seeking curious, interdisciplinary postdoctoral fellows to contribute to ongoing clinical research and pursue their own areas of interest under the supervision of Drs. Casaletto & Saloner at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Memory and Aging Center (MAC). This joint position offers the opportunity to lead innovative, high-impact research at the intersection of human fluid biomarkers (e.g., proteomics from plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, brain tissue), neuropsychology, and precision medicine in cognitive aging and neurodegenerative disease.
The fellow will have the opportunity to work across multiple NIH- and foundation-funded projects that integrate molecular screening tools in human biospecimens with detailed clinical phenotyping across diverse cohorts of aging and neurodegenerative disease. The position is ideal for candidates looking to advance discovery, translational, and data science efforts related to understanding Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). Additional training opportunities at the UCSF MAC include interdisciplinary clinical training/observation, internal and external investigator collaborations, and extensive didactic series.
