The Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology at the University of California Irvine School of Medicine invites applications for a tenure track appointment in neuroscience at the Assistant/Associate Professor level.
Ideal candidates will use cell biological and/or molecular approaches to investigate mechanisms and modulation of synaptic transmission in mammalian brain. We anticipate that candidates will employ innovative experimental and computational technologies to analyze fundamental brain operations. A strong interest in how disturbances to such cellular substrates relate to neuropsychiatric disorders would be desirable.
The successful candidate will have a strong publication record and a well-defined vision for future research. Once hired, the individual will be expected to establish and maintain an externally funded research program, to contribute to teaching in medical and graduate courses and to demonstrate a commitment
to service and leadership at UCI and beyond. As a faculty member, the successful candidate will interact closely with the strong and vibrant UCI neuroscience research community which offers outstanding collaborative opportunities involving basic, behavioral and clinical neuroscience, imaging, translational biomedical science, stem cell research and pharmaceutical sciences.
UCI is a world-class research university and global model of inclusive excellence. We seek faculty who are committed to diversity as well as diverse faculty who will be role models for our students. The Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, which is one of four basic science departments in the UCI School of Medicine, consistently ranks among the nation’s top programs in Anatomy and Neuroscience. UCI is a Minority Serving Institution (MSI), a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI). These federal designations align with UCI as a national leader of inclusive excellence.
