Two Faculty Positions in Neuroscience

The Department of Neuroscience at the University of Minnesota Medical School is seeking candidates for tenure-track (Assistant Professor) and tenured (Associate or Full Professor) faculty appointments. The department spans a wide range of research questions with a proven dedication to team science and collaborative work.

Basic scientists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines are encouraged to apply.

Strengths at the University of Minnesota include: MnDRIVE initiative, which supports research and translation relevant to neuromodulation for brain conditions; the Institute for Translational Neuroscience, which supports research at the interface between the bench and the bedside. the UMN Viral Vector and Cloning Core, which allows onsite vector production and development; the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research, which is at the forefront of high magnetic field strength imaging in both humans and animals, and the UMN Imaging Center, which is a Nikon Center of Excellence. The Department of Neuroscience also leads the Medical Discovery Team (MDT) on Addiction and the Medical Discovery Team (MDT) on Optical Imaging – two world-class, neuroscience-based programs that have established many interdisciplinary and collaborative new laboratories at UMN. The University also offers the Institute for Therapeutics Discovery and Development with the resources and expertise to develop new drug therapies; the Clinical and Translational Science Institute, which provides resources to implement new treatment strategies and is a conduit to promote the community-wide understanding and application of scientific discoveries; Minnesota is also the home of multiple biomedical research companies and world-renowned hospitals. The University of Minnesota is dedicated to improving diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, and the Department of Neuroscience has developed a number of programs in this area.

Candidates must have a PhD and/or MD degree and must be a US citizen or be able to secure permanent resident status. Candidates with non-traditional backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.
