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.
