Recruit

The Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology welcomes applications from outstanding candidates at the Assistant and Associate Professor levels whose research addresses fundamental questions about mammalian nervous system function. We welcome innovative research, including work with translational relevance, at levels ranging from molecular and cellular processes to synapses, neural circuits and behavior. Areas of interest include neuronal communication, synaptic biology, cellular physiology, synaptic plasticity, mechanisms underlying learning, memory, and cognition and disruption of these processes in association with neuropsychiatric disorders.

The successful candidate will have a record of outstanding scientific accomplishments commensurate with career stage, a compelling vision for future research, and a plan to establish and sustain an externally funded research program. Applicants are expected to contribute to teaching in medical and graduate courses and demonstrate a commitment to mentoring and service at UCI and beyond. The successful candidate will contribute to the strong and vibrant UCI neuroscience research community, which offers outstanding collaborative opportunities involving basic and clinical neuroscience, imaging, genomics/epigenomics, translational biomedical science, stem cell research, and pharmaceutical sciences.

UCI is a world-class research university, a national leader in basic neuroscience research. 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 Neuroscience.
