Position description

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 or Associate Professor level.

Ideal candidates will work broadly on neuronal circuit function at the cellular to systems level. We are particularly interested in individuals studying how collections of interconnected neurons produce functionally meaningful outputs and how disturbances in circuit function contribute to neuropsychiatric disorders or other mental health conditions. Researchers studying the integration of multiple afferents at the single cell level are also of interest. We anticipate that candidates will employ innovative experimental and/or computational technologies pertinent to the analysis of neuronal circuit function and have a strong interest in relating their research to neuropsychiatric disorders.

The successful candidate will have an exceptional publication record, a well-defined vision for future research and will be expected to establish and maintain an externally funded research program. Applicants are expected to contribute to teaching in medical and graduate courses and demonstrate a commitment to service and leadership at UCI and beyond. The ideal candidate will interact closely with the strong and vibrant UCI neuroscience research community that offers outstanding collaborative opportunities involving basic and clinical neuroscience, imaging, translational biomedical science, stem cell research and pharmaceutical sciences.

UCI is a world-class research university, a national leader 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.
