Job Description
FACULTY POSITION : Neuroscience Faculty Positions MARSHALL UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES The Department of Biological Sciences in the College of Science at Marshall University is seeking candidates for two fulltime tenuretrack faculty positions at the level of Assistant Professor. Applicants must have a PhD in neuroscience biology or a related field at least two years of relevant postdoctoral experience and a research program in the general area of neural plasticity. These positions are partially funded through the NSF EPSCoR Track I award West Virginia Network for Functional Neuroscience and Transcriptomics (WV NFNT . WV NFNT will help build interinstitutional capacity for investigating synaptic and circuit plasticity through high resolution structurefunction techniques specifically super resolution microscopy and spatial transcriptomics. New hires and capability will expand on existing strengths in neuroscience imaging and omics science. The successful candidates will join a growing and dynamic team of scientists and educators and will be expected to become part of the WV NFNT team linking institutions across the state. We are interested in several research foci and model organisms within the broad WV NFNT scope in particular research related to immune function metabolic regulation and dysregulation and responses to exogenous or other stimuli. Teaching responsibilities will be in the departments general education and core courses along with development or redesign of upper level and graduate courses in the candidates fields of interest. We are particularly interested in candidates with qualifications and a desire to teach immunology metabolism or histology along with neurosciencerelated topics. Our Department and College value a commitment to excellent teaching and research.
