Join the Kramer Lab!
It’s our goal to bring together innovative thinkers with common goals to make a difference in neuroscience research. If you're committed to our mission of understanding normal cognitive aging and uncovering neurodegenerative risk factors, we encourage you to apply to one of our open positions!

Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator Positions

The Kramer Lab is currently accepting applications for an Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator who will have the opportunity to delve into cutting-edge research on The Active Mind Clinical Trial, as well as contribute to research projects aimed at developing new diagnostic and treatment approaches to Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias. The Active Mind Trial is a multi-site study, with UCSF being one of the 4 sites. The assistant CRC will be responsible for maintaining and recruiting for an interventional study examining the effect of cognitive training for individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

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.

Applications: The Kramer Lab is hiring. Please visit the link below for more information and instructions on how to apply:

UCSF BRANCH 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.

Applications: The Casaletto/Saloner Lab is hiring. Please visit the link below for more information and instructions on how to apply:

Visiting Students

The Kramer Lab is currently accepting applications for a visiting student at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center. 

The Memory and Aging Center Visiting Student Program offers training and observation of research studies under the supervision of a principal investigator. In addition, visiting students attend lectures and didactics. Visiting students are undergraduates or graduates enrolled in a degree-granting program at a university in the United States. Visiting students can stay for up to a year.

If you are interested in the US Visiting Student Program, please fill out the program application and send the completed application with the required documents in one PDF document to [email protected].
