The Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and the Brain Research Centre invite applications for a full-time tenure-track assistant professorship from persons with outstanding training and promise in any area of research encompassing biochemical or molecular biological approaches to problems in contemporary neuroscience.  Areas of expertise could include membrane biochemistry and molecular biology, gene expression and regulation, signal transduction, structural biology or proteomics as applied to the visual system, neural development, neuronal plasticity, synaptic mechanisms, stroke, neuroprotection, mood disorders or neurodegenerative diseases.  The specific area of research is less important than the demonstrated and potential accomplishments of the candidate.  Applicants must hold a Ph.D. degree and have at least two years of successful post-doctoral training.

 

The Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and the Brain Research Centre offer superb environments for research and interaction.  The successful candidate will be supported for five years by an endowed junior chair funded by the Tula Foundation.  He/she will be eligible for tenure and a regular faculty position.  The start-up allowance and research space will be very attractive.  Salary and benefits will be commensurate with experience.  The expected starting date for this appointment will be July 1, 2004 or as negotiated.

 

The University of British Columbia hires on the basis of merit and is committed to employment equity.  We encourage all qualified persons to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority.

 

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, the names of three referees, and a statement of current research interests and future research plans to:
