Assistant Professor in Neuroscience (two positions available)
Position description
The University of California Santa Barbara invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant Professor Level in neuroscience. The expansion in neuroscience is intended to build and interface with other strengths at UCSB including physics, engineering, molecular and cellular biology, psychology and evolutionary biology. Applicants applying state-of-the art experimental approaches that address animal behaviors in model organisms are especially encouraged to apply. Candidates may hold postdoctoral (or equivalent) appointments, although applicants currently holding the rank of Assistant Professor (or equivalent) are also welcome to apply. Applicants should have outstanding records of research accomplishment and will be expected to establish highly creative research programs. A commitment to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels is also important. The Department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching and service. One position will be in the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (MCDB). The home department for the second position will be determined based on research area.
Applications should submit a statement of past and future research interests, a curriculum vitae, and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be submitted directly to our website. Materials should be submitted electronically via https://recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/apply. Applications are due November 5, 2014 for primary consideration, but applications will continue to be accepted until the positions are filled. Questions can be emailed to ap@mcdb.ucsb.edu.
