Faculty Positions in Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research

The Stark Neurosciences Research Institute (SNRI) of the Indiana University School of Medicine is seeking outstanding investigators for 3 tenure-track faculty positions at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in its Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Group (SCBIRG). More senior candidates with outstanding credentials in research and extramural funding may also be considered. Primary faculty appointments will be in the Department of Neurological Surgery and/or the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, although other department affiliations are possible. Of particular interest are candidates with one or more of the following expertise: 1) molecular mechanisms underlying axonal guidance, plasticity and regeneration, 2) cell death mechanisms and neuroprotection, 3) traumatic brain and/or spinal cord injury models and functional assessments, 4) high throughput screening of therapeutic small molecules, and 5) transgenic animal models in spinal cord regeneration.
Qualified applicants should have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree, at least several years of postdoctoral experience, and a consistent history of high quality publications. Candidates will be expected to develop a successful, funded research program and participate in graduate and medical student training. Exceptional resources include generous start-up funding, ample lab space in a new research building, and access to excellent core facilities including DNA array and mass spectral analyses, viral vector generation, transgenic facilities, multi-photon microscopy, and small animal functional imaging.
Interested individuals should send a curriculum vita, a cover letter stating research interests and accomplishments, a prospectus of future research plans, and names and addresses of 3 professional references. Please address application materials to Faculty Search Committee and submit in electronic format to iusneu@iupui.edu. Evaluation of applications will begin upon receipt and continue until the positions are filled. Women and minority candidates are especially encouraged to apply. IU is an EEO/AA Employer, M/F/D.

Faculty Positions in Molecular Neuroscience
Stark Neurosciences Research Institute
Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology
Indiana University School of Medicine

The Paul & Carole Stark Neurosciences Research Institute (SNRI) of the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis announces a search for three new faculty in the area of molecular mechanisms underlying nervous system plasticity as part of a major expansion of neuroscience research over the next several years. The SNRI, in partnership with the Departments of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and of Pharmacology & Toxicology, seeks three outstanding individuals for faculty positions at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. More senior individuals with exceptional credentials will be considered. A Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree and at least 3 years of postdoctoral research experience are required, and strong evidence of productivity and grant support are desirable. Of primary interest are candidates who employ pharmacological, molecular, genomic/proteomic and/or chemical approaches to the study of signaling networks underlying synaptic plasticity in the following areas: mechanisms of substance abuse and addiction, neuropsychiatric disorders, or nervous system repair and regeneration. Competitive start-up packages include ample space in a new research building and access to exceptional core research facilities. Primary departmental affiliation will reside in one of the partner departments to be negotiated by mutual interest. Successful candidates will be expected to develop strong extramurally supported research programs, contribute to an already strong, collaborative research environment, and to excel in mentoring graduate and postgraduate trainees. More information about the SNRI and partner departments can be found on our websites (snri.iusm.iu.edu, www.biochemistry.iu.edu, and pharmtox.iusm.iu.edu). Interested individuals should send a curriculum vita, a research prospectus, and the names and addresses of 3 references. Application materials will only be accepted in electronic format by submission to the attention of Dr. Gerry Oxford, Executive Director, SNRI, IU School of Medicine at snri@iupui.edu. IU is an EEO/AA Employer, M/F/D.

Faculty Positions in Environmental Toxicology of the Nervous System
Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology
Center for Environmental Health
Stark Neurosciences Research Institute
Indiana University School of Medicine

The Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology of the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis in partnership with the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) and the Paul & Carole Stark Neurosciences Research Institute (SNRI) announces a search for new faculty in the areas of molecular mechanisms underlying the impact of environmental toxins on the nervous system. This effort is part of a major expansion of environmental health research over the next several years. The partnering organizations seek outstanding individuals for faculty positions at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. More senior individuals with exceptional credentials may be considered. A Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree and at least 3 years of postdoctoral research experience are required, and strong evidence of productivity and grant support are desirable. Of primary interest are candidates who employ pharmacological, molecular, genomic/proteomic and/or chemical approaches to the study of the impact of environmental toxins on physiological and pathological processes with emphasis in the neurosciences. Competitive start-up packages include ample laboratory space and access to exceptional core research facilities. Successful candidates will be expected to develop strong extramurally supported research programs, contribute to an already strong, collaborative research environment, and to excel in mentoring graduate and postgraduate trainees. More information about the department and partnering centers can be found on our websites (pharmtox.iusm.iu.edu, ceh.iu.edu and snri.iusm.iu.edu). Interested individuals should send a curriculum vita, a research prospectus, and the names and addresses of 3 references. Application materials will only be accepted in electronic format by submission to the attention of: Neurotoxicology Search Committee at cehinfo@iupui.edu. We encourage applications from women and other underrepresented groups. In addition, it is the University's policy to provide reasonable accommodations for qualified persons with disabilities.
