Job description

The Department of Pharmacology and Physiology at the OSU Center for Health Sciences (OSU-CHS) in Tulsa Oklahoma invites applications from translational neuroscientists whose work is positioned for real-world therapeutic impact, whether through pre-clinical models and pharmacology, studies of human tissues and biomarkers, or direct investigation in human participants. The successful candidate will be well suited to build their program utilizing the new OSU-CHS vivarium, OSU Biomedical Imaging Center (e.g., fMRI, TMS, fNIRS, EEG), and future OSU Bioincubator and Clinical Research Hub, leveraging CHS’ infrastructure to accelerate the translation of basic findings into candidate interventions. We are particularly interested in scientists whose work intersects with OSU-CHS strategic priorities in childhood adversity, addiction and motivated behaviors, and the development of novel therapeutics, and who are eager to grow collaborations across preclinical and clinical domains. Candidates at all career stages are encouraged to apply, and we especially welcome those whose research vision emphasizes interdisciplinary partnership and a clear path toward improving human health.

History of extramural funding or evidence of potential to obtain extramural funding is preferred; areas of expertise/interest may include, but are not limited to, translational neuroscience, neuropharmacology, neural basis of substance abuse, neuroinflammation, or neurotoxicology. Good communication and interpersonal skills are preferred to facilitate interactions with faculty, students, and administration. Ability to perform in a collegial and professional manner.
