Neuroscience Positions at Georgia State University

Georgia State University (www.gsu.edu) invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions at all ranks. These positions are part of a major initiative to enhance existing strengths in neuroscience at GSU over the next three years. The GSU neuroscience initiative is coordinated by the Brains & Behavior Program at GSU and the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience. The Brains & Behavior Program is a University Area of Focus that sponsors collaborative research and instruction in all areas of neuroscience across ten Departments (see http://brainsbehavior.gsu.edu). The Center for Behavioral Neuroscience is a multi-institutional NSF Science and Technology Center for neuroscience research and teaching across seven Atlanta institutions of higher education (see www.cbn-atl.org).

Outstanding applicants from all areas of neuroscience are welcome, although preference will be given to applicants working in the areas listed at http://brainsbehavior.gsu.edu, one of which is:

Behavioral neuroscience in nonhuman primates: Research on comparative cognition, social behavior, communication, or higher-order cortical processing in nonhuman primates with a neuroscience or neuroendocrine focus. Primarily behavioral approaches will be considered provided the work has a direct connection to brain function. Research that complements current work at the Georgia State University's Language Research Center (http://www.gsu.edu/lrc) is especially attractive.

(See http://brainsbehavior.gsu.edu for a complete list of positions.)

We particularly encourage applications from individuals who use a variety of approaches and who span two or more of these categories. Successful applicants will be individuals who are prepared to take advantage of the interdisciplinary collaborative research opportunities available within the Brains & Behavior Program and, where appropriate, the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree with relevant postdoctoral experience and demonstrated ability to conduct an independent research program using modern techniques. They must also have skills and interest in teaching. Submit curriculum vitae, bibliography, a brief statement of professional goals and research interests, and the names and contact information for 3 references either electronically to Ms. Tara Alexander at biotea@langate.gsu.edu, with the subject line "Neuroscience Search", or by mail to Brains & Behavior Program, Attn. Ms. Tara Alexander, Georgia State University, P.O. Box 4010, Atlanta, GA 30302-4010, USA. The review of applications will begin Nov. 15 and will continue until positions are filled.
