Position
Description: The Program in
Neuroscience at the Florida State University seeks to fill
six new tenured or tenure-track faculty positions over the
next two years as part of a major university initiative to
expand neuroscience research across campus. The initiative
includes the development of a major basic science
quadrangle, already home of the newly established College of
Medicine, and the construction of two new research buildings
for the Departments of Biological Science and Psychology.
When completed, these three projects will collectively add
about 490,000 gross square feet of new space and 120 new
research laboratories dedicated to biomedical and behavioral
research.
The Program in Neuroscience (http://www.neuro.fsu.edu) is a
highly interactive and interdisciplinary program that
encompasses 25 faculty members in 8 departments. Current
research strengths include motivated behaviors, sensory
systems, biological rhythms, learning and plasticity,
development, ingestion and metabolism, neuroendocrinology,
and computational neuroscience. We seek applications from
noted scholars with a track-record of productivity and
independent support who will enhance our current strengths
or expand the program in novel directions. We invite
applications for faculty positions at the rank of assistant,
associate, and full professor. Appointments will be in
relevant departments. Senior investigators are encouraged to
contact Rob Contreras, the Program Director, (contreras@neuro.fsu.edu)
to discuss the possibility of multiple hires to form a
specific research cluster.
Review of applications will begin on 1 December 2005, but
the search process will remain active until the positions
are filled. Please send a cover letter, curriculum vitae,
representative papers, a 2 to 4 page research plan, and the
names and contact information of 3 references. Application
materials can be sent electronically to search@neuro.fsu.edu,
or by mail to: Janice Parker, Administrator, Program in
Neuroscience, Room 18, LON-1280, Florida State University,
