| Neural Circuits and Behavior Position at Duke University.
Duke University's Department of Biology and the Duke Institute of Brain Sciences (DIBS) seek applications for a tenure-track faculty position, within the thematic core of Neural Circuits and Behavior. We are especially interested in applicants working at the intersections between molecular neuroscience, neural circuits, and behavior using an invertebrate or non-mammalian vertebrate system. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, locomotion, sound production and communication, chemo-, photo- and phonotaxis, migratory and homing behavior, sensation and perception, sensorimotor integration, and learning and memory. DIBS is a cross-school, campus-wide, interdisciplinary Institute with a commitment to building an interactive community of brain science research and scholarship. The Department of Biology is a broad department with strengths in evolution, ecology, behavior, and cell and molecular biology. It is in close proximity to the Medical School and the School of Engineering, and there are excellent opportunities for interactions with faculty and students from other departments and programs across campus. Successful candidates must have a Ph.D. and will be expected to establish extramurally funded research, train graduate students, and actively participate in undergraduate education and research. We anticipate hiring at the Assistant Professor level but will consider outstanding individuals at a more senior level.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a brief summary of current and proposed research, reprints of 2 or 3 key publications and a statement of teaching interests via the web at www.academicjobsonline.org. Candidates should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be uploaded to this website.
We will begin to review candidates on Oct 1.
Duke University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer; women and members of minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply. |
