Position Summary:
This position is located in the Department of Medicine, Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology, under the supervision of Dr. Carey Gleason. Research studies in this lab focus on improving diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (RD) for all individuals including women, African Americans, Native Americans, and other groups traditionally under-represented in research. The lab is founded on the premise that diversity makes for better science. The belief that research discoveries should benefit all groups unifies seemingly disparate lines of scientific inquiry. This program of research partners with underserved communities using the state-of-the-art resources available at the UW, and additionally involves partnerships with colleagues across numerous UW departments.

This is a qualitative Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) project, in collaboration with the University of Minnesota - Duluth, which seeks to improve the health and quality of life of American Indian and First Nations (AI/FN) people who are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias. The project spans across five AI/FN communities located in WI, MN, and Ontario, Canada. Dr. Carey E. Gleason is the PI for the WI Oneida Nation site.
A high level of professionalism is required of all UW Department of Medicine faculty and staff. The candidate is expected to exhibit and promote the finest characteristics of his/her profession and a colleague. Professionalism is demonstrated by altruism, accountability, fairness and treating everyone with kindness, respect and dignity.
The School of Medicine and Public Health and the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center have a deep and profound commitment to diversity both as an end in itself but, also as a valuable means for eliminating health disparities. As such, we strongly encourage applications from candidates who foster and promote the values of diversity and inclusion.
