The university consistently ranks among the top 10 in NIH funding for neuroscience and neurology research.

This leadership role offers immediate opportunities for collaboration across a robust research and clinical ecosystem at the University of Florida. The selected individual will hold joint appointments and benefit from close partnerships with the Center for Translational Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases and the McKnight Brain Institute, ensuring access to shared resources and an actively engaged research community.
