College invites applications for two tenure-track positions at the rank of
Assistant Professor, to begin July 1, 2021. One position is in the area of cellular/molecular
neuroscience, and one is in human neuroscience with emphasis on computational
analysis. Successful candidates should be prepared to engage actively
with liberal arts students of diverse backgrounds. Teaching responsibilities
for both positions include both introductory and advanced courses (2 fall and 2
spring), including courses centered on the candidate’s field of
specialization. Our introductory curriculum includes Fundamentals of
Neuroscience and Experimental Methods in Neuroscience.<span> </span>Successful candidates for the
cellular/molecular position must be able to teach an advanced course in
Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience. We would welcome a human neuroscience
candidate’s ability to offer a course using computational approaches within
neuroscience. A Ph.D. in Neuroscience or a related field is expected by
the time of appointment, and teaching experience is recommended. Candidates
from groups underrepresented in STEM are strongly encouraged to apply.</span><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><span></span></span></span></font></p><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">
