Position Description
The Department of Pharmacology, Physiology & Biophysics at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine is seeking to recruit a new research-track faculty member at the Research Assistant Professor level, with a salary range of $82,000–$87,000. We seek an accomplished research scientist with expertise in cellular and molecular neuroscience, behavioral pharmacology, and disease-relevant models of brain plasticity. Candidates with experience in metabolic-epigenetic regulation of brain function, chromatin biology, molecular and cellular biology, quantitative imaging, biochemistry, and mechanistic studies linking cellular function to behavior are especially encouraged to apply. The successful candidate should have a strong record of rigorous experimental research, peer-reviewed publications, collaborative science, and mentorship. Experience with rodent behavioral models, brain-region- or cell-type-specific molecular analyses, and molecular approaches to transcriptional or epigenetic regulation is highly desirable.
