Research Scientist

The Swank Autism Center at Nemours Children’s Health is seeking a Research Scientist (open rank) to join our team. The Swank Autism Center provides comprehensive clinical services for children up to age 21 years and conducts research and community-based outreach and training. We are seeking applicants with demonstrable training and experience working in clinical and/or research settings with autistic/neurodivergent children, adolescents, and/or young adults, and their families. The Research Scientist will develop a targeted research program in autism. Start-up funding is available to cover a substantial amount of the researcher’s time, or to add to funding the researcher might bring with them. Current research studies or immediate potential opportunities are available in examining inequities and disparities in healthcare delivery, progressive assessment models, hospital-wide autism initiatives, adolescence/postsecondary transition, and other areas. The Research Scientist will also provide some clinical services as a part of this role, which might include autism diagnostic services, individual/group therapy, and supervising trainees in working with patients and families from the larger Delaware Valley community.
