Tenure-Track Faculty Openings in Neuroscience at Georgetown University

Georgetown University invites applications for tenure-track positions at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in the Department of Neuroscience. As part of an expansion of neuroscience research, we are seeking exceptional candidates in the following two areas:

Molecular mechanisms of acute brain injury or neurodegeneration, with a preferred focus on preclinical stroke models.

Human cognitive neuroscience or animal electrophysiology, with a preferred focus on brain plasticity / learning and memory.

The successful applicant will have access to significant research resources at Georgetown University. The vibrant neuroscience community includes the Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience (PhD training, https://neuroscience.georgetown.edu), a modern brain-imaging facility with research dedicated human 3T and animal 7T magnets, a fully AAALAC- accredited nonhuman primate facility, and extensive shared resources (https://lombardi.georgetown.edu/research/sharedresources), as well as a multi-institutional CTSA for clinical and translational research (http://georgetownhowardctsa.org/about-ghuccts/about- ghuccts).

QUALIFICATIONS

Candidates should have a cutting-edge research program with a theoretical and experimental basis that straddles disciplinary boundaries.
