Director, Center of Excellence for Mental Health and PTSD

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ Central Texas Veterans Health Care System (CTVHCS), on the cutting edge of implementing psychosocial rehabilitation for the seriously mentally ill, and a teaching hospital of the Texas A&M University HSC College of Medicine, seeks a director for a new Center of Excellence for Mental Health and PTSD. Candidates must demonstrate a sustained, independent funded research program in PTSD or psychosocial rehabilitation, as well as the vision to successfully guide the Center of Excellence to national prominence. CTVHCS is currently implementing major funding for a new research program in Post-traumatic and Developmental Stress disorders, and administrative experience in overseeing translational research will be highly regarded. Funding will be immediately available to hire at least two additional experienced investigators and administrative personnel to support the program, with additional support expected as the Center of Excellence is implemented.

Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens with a current unrestricted license to practice medicine in the U.S. or an earned Ph.D. degree.

The position offers excellent benefits, low cost of living, and no state income tax.
