The Center for Molecular & Behavioral Neuroscience at Rutgers University
has TWO openings for tenure-track Assistant Professors in SYSTEMS
NEUROSCIENCE. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience or a
related field and have completed at least two years of post-doctoral
training.
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is a leading national public
research university and the state's preeminent, comprehensive public
institution of higher education. Rutgers is dedicated to conducting
research that breaks new ground; to teaching that meets the highest
standards of excellence; and to providing services, solutions, and
clinical care that help individuals and the local, national, and global
communities where they live.
The Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience (CMBN) is located in
Newark NJ, a short drive from New York City. CMBN is part of a large
community of neuroscientists at Rutgers Newark, with additional
researchers in the Departments of Biological Sciences and Psychology as
well as in the Rutgers University New Jersey Medical School. Collectively,
these researchers represent all levels of analysis in neuroscience
The ideal candidates for these two assistant professor positions ask
fundamental hypothesis-driven questions about brain structure and function
and are open to establishing collaborative research efforts within the
Rutgers neuroscience community. Research areas of particular interest are
sensory-motor integration, learning and memory, and emotional regulation.
We are especially interested in candidates who use a range of experimental
methods, including in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology in rodents or
non-human primates, optogenetics, tract tracing and immunohistochemistry.
The successful applicants will be expected to maintain an active
externally-funded research program, to teach undergraduate and graduate
courses in neuroscience, and to mentor Ph.D. students in our Behavioral
and Neural Sciences program.
Applicants should apply as soon as possible, but no later than 10/15/2013.
Rutgers is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and has a
strong commitment to diversity. Women and members of underrepresented
minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Rutgers-Newark is noted for
its exceptionally diverse student population.
