Position announcement - The University of Oregon invites applications for the position of Assistant Professor with a focus on Developmental Neuroscience. The position is based at the University of Oregon's main campus in Eugene, Oregon, and is associated with the Institute of Neuroscience and the Department of Biology. A successful candidate will display a strong record of research accomplishments in the area of Developmental Neuroscience with the expectation that they will build a strong, externally-funded research program. The specific area of focus within developmental neuroscience is open, though very strong preference will be given to research programs focusing on fundamental mechanisms of neural circuit wiring, circuit maturation, and behavior that intersect with genetics, neural activity, and environmental influences using animal model systems. Critically, a successful candidate's expertise should synergize and advance the research programs of the institute, department, and university. Additionally, the candidate must show a strong commitment to the educational mission of a public university with the expectation that they will contribute to the neuroscience and biology curricula. The candidate will be committed to the university mission of diversity, equity, and inclusion with the expectation of fostering a healthy and respectful community across the range of research, teaching, and administrative duties. The applicant should currently be in a position equivalent to an assistant professor or postdoctoral fellow.
