Job Category: Academic Staff
Employment Type: Regular
Job Profile: Nurse Practitioner
Job Summary:
The Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) within the School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) is seeking a research Nurse Practitioner (NP) to complement the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS), a world-renowned study that has followed its participants for nearly 70 years. In the current effort (the Initial Lifetime's Impact on Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (WLS-ILIAD)), the ADRC has partnered with WLS and the University of Wisconsin - Survey Center (UWSC) to map dementia prevalence within this unique cohort. This aim will help us to understand the complex relationship between life-course sociodemographic, health and lifestyle factors, and late-life dementia risk.
The successful candidate will assist the Principal Investigators (PIs) and the clinical research team with the operations of clinical research studies, under the guidelines of research protocols and UW Madison policies. Primary responsibilities include conducting comprehensive medical assessments of research participants (neurological/physical exams and detailed health history) and contributing to a multi-disciplinary clinician panel, alongside a geriatrician and neuropsychologist, to arrive at a consensus-based research diagnosis of dementia.
Travel is required to conduct study visits in participants' homes across the country in coordination with trained field interviewers from the University of Wisconsin Survey Center. For travel outside the Midwest, the cost of flights, hotel stays, and rental cars is fully reimbursable, although may require upfront costs to be paid by the employee when booking (up to ~$500). Local travel within the Midwest will be arranged using University-sponsored Fleet vehicles. Amount of travel will vary from week to week but is estimated at 1 day per week on average. Although rare, some study visits to participants' homes may occur in the evenings or on weekends.
