Description: The University of Toledo
College of Medicine seeks an internationally-recognized
neuroscientist as Professor and Chair of the Department of
Neurosciences. The recent merger of the University of Toledo
with the former Medical University of Ohio has created
dramatic growth opportunities, and neuroscience research has
been targeted for significant development. Substantial
resources including new research space and faculty positions
are available to create a nationally-recognized department,
complementing current departmental research strengths http://hsc.utoledo.edu/depts/neurosciences/index.html
including sensory physiology, neurodevelopment,
neuroendocrine synaptic physiology, and related areas in
structural anatomy and intravital imaging. State-of-the-art
imaging, proteomics/genomics and flow cytometry cores as
well as AAALAC-accredited animal facilities are available on
the modern Health Science Campus. The new Chair must have a
distinguished record of extramural-funding, strong
leadership and administrative skills, and should promote
alliances with clinical neuroscientists to stimulate
research with translational implications in such areas as
drug abuse, developmental neurobiology, stroke, epilepsy,
neurooncology, neuroimmunology, functional brain imaging,
Parkinson’s disease or neurodegeneration. The successful
candidate must also be committed to medical and graduate
education, supporting the use of innovative educational
technologies in gross and microscopic anatomy, and fostering
development of the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders
Ph.D. training program. The University of Toledo is a state
supported institution in the vibrant port city of Toledo http://www.toledo.com
