About The Position
The Department of Neuroscience at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania is seeking candidates for a Research Assistant Professor position in the non-tenure research track. This role is focused on neurophysiology, requiring expertise in in vivo recording techniques, including electrophysiology, optogenetics, and behavioral neurophysiology at both cellular and system levels. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an independent research program that aims to understand adult neurogenesis and the circuit-level mechanisms of brain function specifically in the dentate gyrus. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or an equivalent degree and should have a distinguished record of scholarship, particularly in the area of recording neuronal activity in the dentate gyrus of the mouse hippocampus in vivo. The position also entails the responsibility of attracting and maintaining extramural funding to support research initiatives. Additionally, teaching responsibilities may include mentoring and training graduate students and post-doctoral investigators, contributing to the academic development of the next generation of neuroscientists. The University of Pennsylvania values diversity and encourages candidates who reflect this commitment to apply. The institution is an equal opportunity employer, welcoming applications from minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, and protected veterans.
