Job Opportunities

Jefferson Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, part of Thomas Jefferson University, is seeking a research participant recruiter to join the Institute's Research Registry team. This individual will play a key role in advancing the mission of the Institute's Research Registry: to provide recruitment infrastructure and support for our research labs that study how stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and neurological disorders impact cognition, behavior, and movement.

Thomas Jefferson University offers a competitive salary and healthcare benefits package along with tuition reimbursement.

• Responsibilities include screening patients for eligibility to participate in the Research Registry using hospital charts and neuropsychological assessments.
  
• Educating patients and families about research participation opportunities at Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute.
  
• Entry and updating of research participant information in an in-house database.
  
• Working with other Registry team members to optimize Registry procedures and participant outreach. 
  
• This position is based at Jefferson Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute in Elkins Park, PA, and requires travel to other MossRehab locations.
  
• Must be a clear and effective communicator, have strong interpersonal and organizational skills, and be capable of learning on the job and working independently.
  

• BA/BS level minimum.
• The ideal candidate will have prior experience working with patients or special populations. 
• Preferred: knowledge of medical terminology and familiarity with the acute rehabilitation/outpatient therapy settings.

Eligible applicants must submit a cover letter, resume, and a minimum of two references that can attest to your work and/or academic history and why you are a strong candidate for the position relative to the above requirements.

Interested applicants may EMAIL or MAIL their resume and references to:

The Cognitive-Motor Learning Laboratory at Jefferson Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute located in Elkins Park, PA, has an opening for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow starting immediately. Under the direction of Aaron Wong, Ph.D., the postdoctoral fellow will investigate how people monitor their performance during skilled tool-use actions, and how this error awareness is disrupted following stroke. Projects will involve a combination of behavioral testing and neuroimaging methods. More broadly, this work seeks to understand how people learn and plan complex, real-world behaviors, research that lies at the intersection of cognition and motor neuroscience. The fellow will be encouraged to further explore these themes in establishing an independent line of work. Our Institute is internationally known for its research in neuroscience and neurorehabilitation and maintains a strong postdoctoral training program. This is an approximately 3 year position, and offers competitive salary and benefits.

• Applicants should hold a Ph.D. or anticipate a Ph.D. by Fall 2026 in the area of Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Kinesiology, or a closely related discipline. 
• Favorable consideration will be given to applicants with expertise or substantial interest in sensorimotor neuroscience and/or cognition; working with clinical populations; computer programming, data analysis, and statistics; neuroimaging analysis; and a strong record of research productivity.

To apply, please email a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references to Dr. Wong:
