The BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF EMORY UNIVERSITY in Atlanta, GA is a broadly based biology department within Emory’s College of Arts and Sciences. We seek candidates for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the area of neuroscience. The successful candidate will use experimental approaches to examine any aspect of neural function, including molecular, cellular, systems, or developmental neuroscience, and will ideally integrate computational approaches into their research as well. We encourage outstanding candidates to apply, even if their most recent findings are still in the form of preprints. We hope to recruit a colleague who will complement areas of existing research strengths in the department. Successful applicants will have a PhD, post-doctoral research experience, a record of productivity, and a commitment to evidence-based undergraduate teaching and mentoring.
