Position
Description: Synaptic Plasticity/Glial-Neuronal
Interactions (Assistant Professor). The Department of Cell
Biology & Neuroscience (http://cbns.ucr.edu/) at the
University of California, Riverside, is strengthening its
faculty in the area of synaptic plasticity/glial-neuronal
interactions. Construction of a new laboratory building, the
Biological Sciences Building, is now complete (as of June
2006) and will house the new faculty as well as most of
those in the current department. This search seeks
applicants at the assistant professor level whose primary
research interests are directed towards investigating
signaling underlying synapse formation and plasticity.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D., and postdoctoral experience is
essential for candidates at the assistant level. It is
expected that this hire would interact broadly with faculty
in our Neuroscience Graduate Program as well as department
faculty with interests in other areas of cell biology, and
with members of the Center for Glial Neuronal
Interactions at UC Riverside. Additionally, this person
could further strengthen our links with the Center for
Nanoscale Science and Engineering and the stem cell focus.
Opportunities for graduate student training are available
through participation in several interdepartmental graduate
programs, including the Neuroscience Program (http://neuro.ucr.edu/)
and the Cellular, Molecular and Developmental Biology
Program (http://www.cell.ucr.edu/). Other teaching
responsibilities would be at the undergraduate level. Send
applications, including Curriculum Vita, personal research
statement and at least three letters of reference to: Chair,
Plasticity Search Committee, Department of Cell Biology
& Neuroscience at the University of California,
Riverside, CA 92521 USA. Review of applications will begin
October 2, 2006 and will continue until the position is
filled. The University of California is an equal
opportunity/affirmative action employer.
