Advanced Science Research Center in Manhattan, NY, invites applications for
full-time, tenure-track faculty members at the Assistant, Associate or Full
Professor rank. We seek outstanding scientists with strong records of significant
research accomplishments in the fields of: glial biology, metabolism, epigenetics,
gut/brain communication, environmental effects on brain structure and behavior,
interfacing nanotechnology or photonics with neurobiology. We are
also interested in candidates with a strong background in Bioinformatics,
Network Analysis, Large data integration. We encourage application
from candidates with innovative ideas, open to interdisciplinary approaches and
with a demonstrated use of a wide range of experimental and computational
approaches to tackle fundamental questions in neurobiology. Candidates
are expected to have advanced degrees (Ph.D., M.D. or equivalent) in any area

collaborative environment that integrates five disciplines: neuroscience,
photonics, structural biology, nanoscience and environmental sciences. Combining world-class experts in these areas
with state-of-the-art instrumentation both in the building and within the New
York City area, the ASRC offers a unique opportunity for new research programs
to flourish and bridge conceptual gaps among traditionally disparate scientific
areas.
