Full Job Description

Job Summary:

Under the supervision of the Principal Investigator and the Clinic Director, and in collaboration with physicians, researchers, and study staff at the Fein Memory and Aging Center (MAC) and UCSF Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC), the Genetic Counselor will provide clinical and research genetic counseling services to patients, research participants, and their families who are at risk for Alzheimer's disease and related adult-onset neurodegenerative disorders.

The Genetic Counselor will obtain and interpret personal and family medical histories, construct and analyze multigenerational pedigrees, assess genetic risk, facilitate informed decision-making regarding genetic testing, obtain informed consent, communicate genetic test results, and provide supportive counseling to individuals and families as they adapt to the medical, emotional, and psychosocial implications of genetic information. The incumbent will coordinate care with physicians, laboratories, community resources, and external specialists as appropriate.

The incumbent will support both clinical and research initiatives within the Fein MAC and ADRC, including participant recruitment, consent, education, and longitudinal follow-up for genetics-related studies. The Genetic Counselor will assist investigators with the interpretation and communication of genetic findings and will contribute to research projects focused on the relationship between genetics, biomarkers, neuroimaging, and neurodegenerative disease risk and progression. The position will work closely with the PET Program to support studies integrating genetic information with PET imaging and other biomarker measures.

The Genetic Counselor will participate in educational activities involving trainees, students, faculty, and staff and will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team that includes neurologists, neuropsychologists, geneticists, imaging scientists, nurses, and clinical research professionals.
