    UW faculty and staff also enjoy outstanding benefits, professional growth opportunities and unique resources in an environment noted for diversity, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits and natural beauty.


    The UW Alzheimer Disease Research Center (ADRC) has an exciting opportunity for a Research Coordinator (NE S 6) to manage and coordinate studies in Alzheimer and related dementias.

    This position will function under the general direction of the Program Manager and Principal Investigator to implement clinical observational and interventional trials.
