Job Description

The MIND Institute at the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine, is recruiting for 1-2 full‑time faculty member(s) in the In‑Residence or Regular/In‑Residence split series at the Assistant or Associate Professor rank in the field of translational research in neurodevelopmental conditions. Faculty in this series are expected to engage in teaching, independent research and creative work, demonstrate professional competence and activity, and provide University and public service.

Expectations

The successful candidate will have a strong interest in neuroscience with demonstrated ability to garner external funding. Understanding that the term translational neurodevelopmental disabilities research holds many meanings, we provide examples of areas of study that candidates may be engaged in, although this list is not necessarily exhaustive:

  • Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) research that helps clarify basic biology, the existence of phenotypic differences, and/or treatment strategies for autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions.
  • Clinical and basic cognitive neuroscience using novel neuroimaging or other techniques, and sophisticated data analytic methods or computational approaches to help reveal how brain circuits process information through development. Such studies might offer leads for biomarker development, early diagnosis and treatment, clarification of the link between brain functioning and symptoms, better understanding of how interventions work, and that generally promote precision medicine approaches that help autistic persons and individuals with other neurodevelopmental conditions.
  • Behavioral neuroscience that utilizes animal models that incorporate genetic or environmental constructs, to promote the understanding of behavioral and biological phenotypes, and to identify biomarkers and molecular mechanisms that may underlie them, with the goal of improving the precision of pharmacological interventions and other treatments for autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions.
  • Genetics and genomics research that clarifies molecular contributions to autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions and phenotypes to identify relevant pathways and druggable targets that more precisely map to autism biology, leading to advances in drug development for autistic persons and individuals with other neurodevelopmental conditions.
  • Other efforts to understand the factors at the genetic, molecular, and cellular systems level that contribute to the development of the autism phenotype and those of other neurodevelopmental conditions through different phases of the lifespan with the goal of improving the lives of individuals with these phenotypes.

More specifically, they will be expected to:

Responsibilities
  • Lead and conduct translational science research in neurodevelopmental conditions, as evidenced by appropriate scientific publications.
  • Provide leadership by bringing national and international recognition to the MIND Institute via understanding and treatment for neurodevelopmental conditions.
  • Garner funding for their own research and programmatic efforts across MIND Institute disciplines and expertise.
  • Maintain an active relationship with the local professional community and enhance the academic and intellectual life of the MIND Institute, UC Davis Health, and UC Davis.
  • Participate in appropriate professional societies and educational organizations, including taking a leadership role in those organizations.
  • Participate in service on research review boards.
  • Engage in teaching and scholarly activities focused in the area of neurodevelopmental conditions.
  • Teach courses regularly for undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, or medical students in the area of neurodevelopmental conditions.
  • Mentor early career scientists, including graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
  • Provide service to department, school and campus committees.
  • Foster collegiality and work collaboratively in a diverse environment.
  • Adhere to University policies and procedures.
  • Research focus area should be in translational neurodevelopmental disabilities research, including but not limited to iPSCs, cognitive neuroscience, genetics/genomics, and genome manipulation using diverse model systems.

The incumbent will be named the Translational Research Program Director at the UC Davis MIND Institute. The MIND Institute is an interdisciplinary, collaborative research, clinical, and educational center committed to deepening our scientific understanding of the challenges associated with autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions. Founded in 1998 by families of children with autism, they envisioned experts from disciplines related to brain development to work towards finding and developing treatments to reduce the challenges and improve the quality of life for individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions and their families. The MIND Institute is especially known for research and clinical therapies developed for Autism, Fragile X Syndrome, Down syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and Chromosome 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome.

In addition, the incumbent will meet the criteria to be appointed at Assistant or Associate Professor rank, in an appropriate academic department within the School of Medicine at the University of California, Davis.

Cognitive Neurologist Faculty Position

Tap Again To Close

Job Description

The University of California, Davis, Department of Neurology is seeking a cognitive neurologist for a full-time clinical faculty position in the School of Medicine in Sacramento, CA. The Section of Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology is growing, and we are looking for a colleague who wants to help build a modern, patient-centered clinical program and serve our community.

Our work begins with patients. We are committed to caring for people living with cognitive and behavioral disorders and to the community we serve across the greater Sacramento region and the East Bay. We are actively expanding our clinical program for disease-modifying anti-amyloid therapies and preparing for the treatments that will follow them through the pipeline. We have a dedicated, standalone program built around this work, with strong institutional backing and committed investment in its future. As part of the California Alzheimer’s Disease Center (CADC), a clinical Center of Excellence in dementia, we care for patients at sites in Sacramento and Walnut Creek, drawing referrals from one of the region’s largest primary care networks.

At the heart of these roles is direct patient care, delivered alongside a collaborative team of physicians, advanced practice providers, and staff who share the work and support one another. Teaching is part of our ethos, not an add-on to it. We hold a deliberate institutional commitment to being the place trainees want to learn and where faculty who love to teach want to stay. That commitment shows up in the rhythm of our week: clinic-based teaching, didactic sessions, dedicated anti-amyloid therapy conferences, clinical-pathological conferences, research updates, and a range of other conferences shared with the ADRC. We are intentional about building a clinic that is sustainable and well-supported, so that caring for patients, and teaching the next generation to do the same, remains the rewarding center of the work.

This role can be shaped, to a meaningful degree, around the interests and strengths of the faculty member who fills it. Truly patient-centered care can include giving patients access to the latest advances: the opportunity to participate in research and to reach emerging therapies through clinical trials. We see research and clinical care as partners in service of our patients, and we actively support hybrid clinical-research roles, scaled to a faculty member’s interests, accomplishments, and available funding. UC Davis Medical Center hosts a federally funded Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) that provides collaborative and administrative support to associated faculty, including investigator-initiated studies and a robust portfolio of clinical trials. The Department also hosts behavioral neurology and neuropsychology fellowship programs along with multiple mentorship opportunities. While research is not required for the HSCP series, participation in the ADRC clinical research program is welcomed and encouraged.

We are equally committed to the people who do this work. We invest in the professional and personal growth of our faculty through continuous learning, mentorship, and a clear path for advancement, within a thriving clinical, educational, and research community centered on the health of our patients. UC Davis is home to a remarkable community of physicians, advanced practice providers, neuropsychologists, social workers, students, residents, fellows, and staff, united by an institutional ethos of learning and growth. We are inviting a colleague to help shape what cognitive neurology at UC Davis becomes, and to build, alongside us, a clinic equipped to deliver the best of what this field can now offer patients and ready for what comes next.

Appointment and Series

The position is available at all ranks in the Health Sciences Clinical Professor (HSCP) series or the Clinical “X” series; the level of appointment will be commensurate with credentials. Faculty in the Clinical X series are expected to engage in professional competence and activity, teaching, research and creative work, and University/public service. Faculty in the HSCP series are expected to demonstrate professional competence and activity and to engage in teaching, scholarly or creative work, and University and public service.

Sacramento and the Region

The UC Davis Department of Neurology and UC Davis Health teaching hospital are nationally ranked in US News & World Report. The Sacramento region offers an enviable quality of life: more than 260 sunny days a year, an affordable footprint relative to California’s coastal metros, and quick access to the Bay Area, Lake Tahoe, and Napa. We think the climate suits us. UC Davis is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion, and to building a faculty that reflects the community it serves.

Application Process

To receive full consideration, applications must be received by July 14, 2026. However, the position will be open until filled through December 31, 2026. Qualified applicants should upload a cover letter, CV, and contact information of three references online.

  • MD or DO degree
  • California medical license or license eligibility
  • Requirements for appointment in the Clinical “X” series: The ability and experience to conduct scholarly/clinical/translational research and a record of publications in peer reviewed journals is required.
