Date Position Available:
From 12/01/2005 until filled
Employment Location:
Florida State University
Program in Neuroscience
018 Longmire
Tallahassee, FL 32306-1280
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, Tallahassee FL 32306-1280, Phone: (850) 644-3076, FAX: (850) 644-0349.
