Description du poste

The Department of Biological Sciences at The George Washington University (GWU) invites applicants for a tenure-track faculty position in Neurobiology at the rank of Assistant Professor, to begin as early as Fall 2027. The Department of Biological Sciences brings together investigators using diverse experimental systems and cutting-edge molecular, cellular, genomic, physiological, and computational approaches to address fundamental questions in biology. The Department has broad strengths spanning neuroscience, anatomy and physiology, cell and molecular biology, immunology, developmental biology, evolution, ecology, and organismal biology.

The department seeks a candidate with complementary expertise who investigates fundamental questions in cellular and molecular neuroscience using non-mammalian experimental models, including but not limited to neural development and function, neurophysiology, neurobiology of behavior, neuroimmune interactions, and neural regeneration and repair.

The successful candidate will be expected to establish and maintain an externally funded research program that integrates graduate and undergraduate students and investigates basic cellular and molecular questions in neurobiology. The successful candidate will also strengthen our multidisciplinary teaching program by teaching a course in Molecular Biology and a new course for our Neuroscience major, related to the successful candidate’s area of expertise.

Required Qualifications: (1) a completed PhD in neurobiology or a closely related field; (2) research expertise in cellular and molecular neuroscience using non-mammalian experimental models; (3) at least 2 years of postdoctoral experience at the start of the position; and (4) research accomplishments as demonstrated by peer-reviewed publications.
