*NEUROSCIENCE FACULTY POSITIONS*

The Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center seeks outstanding neuroscientists to fill one or two tenure track positions.  Appointments can be at any rank (ASSISTANT, ASSOCIATE, FULL PROFESSOR). The Department is the center of a well-established, collaborative multidisciplinary neuroscience program.  Our facilities include state-of-the-art laboratories, a unique mouse genetics reference population (http://cgb.utmem.edu) and we offer competitive salary and start-up packages. We seek candidates to complement existing departmental strengths, which include electrophysiological, anatomical, behavioral, and genetic approaches to understand normal and pathological brain function.  For additional information, see departmental (http://www.utmem.edu/anatomy-neurobiology/) and Neuroscience Institute (www.utmem.edu/neuroscience/) websites. We are particularly interested in candidates using molecular / genetic and/or optical imaging approaches for the study of excitability, synaptic function, neural development, sensory or motor systems, or neurodegenerative diseases.  The successful candidate is expected to establish or maintain an independent, extramurally funded research program, and contribute to the department’s teaching mission.  Candidates must have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent, and relevant postdoctoral experience.  Submit curriculum vitae, summary of current and proposed research programs, teaching experience and interests, and contact information for three to five references, in a single Word or PDF document to bjsmith@utmem.edu.  For best consideration, applications should be received by December 1, 2009, however review of applications will begin immediately. The University of Tennessee is an affirmative action employer, and we encourage applications from women and underrepresented minorities. The University of Tennessee is an EEO/AA/Title VI/Title IX, Section 504/ADA/ADEA Employer.
