Assistant professor levels

Center for Learning and Memory
Institute for Neuroscience
The University of Texas at Austin

The Center for Learning and Memory at the University of Texas at Austin invites applications for a number of tenure track faculty positions at the assistant professor levels. While the field of research is open, we are particularly interested in candidates using genetic and molecular approaches to investigate plasticity and learning and in candidates using systems levels of analyses of learning and memory in behaving animals. This recruitment effort is partially supported by a P30 Faculty Recruitment Grant from the National Institute of Mental Health and as such the research areas of successful candidates will be expected to fit within the overall basic science mission of the NIMH. Successful candidates will join an expanding and vibrant neuroscience environment within the Center for Learning and Memory and the Institute for Neuroscience and will be expected to develop and maintain an active research program while having minimal teaching responsibilities. Academic appointments will be made in the appropriate academic unit within the College of Natural Sciences, College of Liberal Arts, School of Pharmacy, or School of Engineering. The positions will include competitive salary and start-up packages and have laboratories within Center for Learning and Memory in the Neural and Molecular Sciences Building located in the heart of the beautiful UT campus.

Austin is located in the Texas hill country and is widely recognized as one of America’s most beautiful and livable cities (see: www.austintexas.org/home/). Please send curriculum vitae, summary of research interests, and names of five references to:
