Tenure-track Investigator Positions in Human Genetics and Developmental Neurobiology

Neurobiology-Neurodegeneration & Repair Laboratory
National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health

The Neurobiology-Neurodegeneration & Repair Laboratory (N-NRL) aims to facilitate translational research for treatment of retinal diseases by delineating fundamental mechanisms in development, aging and disease pathogenesis (www.nei.nih.gov/intramural/nnrl.asp).

We are seeking outstanding scientists who can establish innovative research programs in human genetics or developmental neurobiology with a focus on retinal biology and/or disease. Stem cell biology, synaptogenesis, statistical genetics and systems/network-based approaches are of special program relevance. Scientists with excellent training in diverse disciplines of biology and medicine are especially encouraged to apply. The candidates should have M.D. and/or Ph.D. degrees with training, experience and significant publication records in any of the relevant fields. No previous research in vision is required; however, applicants are expected to discuss future plans relevant to vision and/or blindness.

Salary is commensurate with research experience and accomplishments. A full Federal package of benefits is available (including retirement, health, life and long term care insurance, etc.)

Applications will be considered as they are received. The search will continue until suitable candidates are recruited. Interested individuals should send by email: a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a brief summary of research accomplishments and future goals, three significant publications, and letters from three references to:
