Duties Description

The Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities (IBR) seeks a Geneticist (MD) for our George A. Jervis Diagnostic and Research out-patient clinic. IBR is the research arm of the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD). OPWDD is responsible for coordinating services for New Yorkers with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD), including intellectual disabilities, Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorders, rare genetic syndromes, and other neurological impairments. Through our Jervis Clinic, a unique Article 16, Part 676 Clinic, IBR provides clinical evaluations with a multi-disciplinary approach. Our Geneticist will evaluate children and adults with the support of a full-time Genetic Counselor and collaborate on-site and remotely with a developmental behavioral pediatrician, adult and child psychiatrists, psychologists, and nursing staff. On-site diagnostic testing for Fragile X Syndrome is provided through our on-site clinical laboratories.

IBR has undertaken the mission of developing a Genomics Core Facility, with research goals focused on IDD. This mission is slated to be supported through the investment of the New York State Governor’s executive budget. The Geneticist we seek to hire will have the unique opportunity to play a significant role in the development of this core facility.

NYS OPWDD IBR provides a professional setting in a world-renowned research facility located on Staten Island, NY, on a wooded, suburban campus with free off-street parking. Attendance at and participation in professional meetings and conferences is encouraged and financially supported, and publication fees in professional journals are supported through the agency budget. Telecommuting work plan is negotiable.
