This consortium will consist of multidisciplinary investigators dedicated to developing evidence-based strategies for the use and implementation of biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) in older patients with multiple chronic conditions and cognitive impairment. This clinical research-focused position involves working with clinical, imaging, biomarker, and genetics data across multiple studies. Expertise in biostatistics and familiarity with handling multiple data types, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally, are critical for success.
