The Biology Department at the University of Florida (UF) seeks a faculty member in the broad areas of brain and neuroscience that can synergize with pre-existing faculty in areas of signal transduction, behavior, and/or development. Contributions to undergraduate and graduate teaching are also expected. Successful candidates will already have an established and independent research program. Interested candidates should contact Keith Choe (kchoe@ufl.edu) for consideration ASAP.
This search is in conjunction with a broader University-wide initiative to recruit preeminent faculty in a wide variety of brain and neuroscience research areas. This multidisciplinary search is in conjunction with UF’s Top 10 Initiative, with the goal of strategic faculty hires to further elevate our national academic and research standing to one of the top 10 public universities in the United States.
The University is seeking a total of 10-12 tenured and tenure-track colleagues (to be recruited at the associate and full professor ranks) to join faculty in the Colleges of Engineering, Liberal Arts & Sciences, Medicine, and Public Health & Health Professions, who have expertise in one of our targeted areas :
- neuroimaging, cognitive, functional, and molecular mapping of the central nervous system
- therapeutic and biomarker discovery in neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases
- neuromuscular plasticity, neurorehabilitation, and neurotechnology
- the “adaptive brain”, including evolutionary, genetic, and epigenetic influences on brain structure and behavior
The brain and neuroscience research environment at UF is excellent and supported in part by the following programs:
•McKnight Brain Institute
•Center for Translational Research in Neurogenerative Disease
•Center for NeuroGenetics
•VA Brain Research & Rehabilitation Center
•Center for Movement Disorders & Neurorestoration
•Institute on Aging
•Center for Addiction Research & Education
•Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Program
•Nanoscience Institute for Medical and Engineering Technology
•National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
