The University of Delaware invites applications
for a tenured associate professor (or assistant professor nearing tenure) in behavioral
neuroscience to begin September 1, 2019. We are
seeking to hire a scholar with a solid background in small animal fMRI
and/or DTI at ultrahigh fields for linking systems neuroscience and brain MR
imaging (the university has a 9.4T/30cm Bruker MRI for animal research). The exact discipline area is open for this position as scholarly
excellence will be the primary consideration. Ideal candidates will have
extensive experience in brain science-oriented MR research, demonstrate
outstanding and innovative scholarship, and have collaborative and synergistic possibilities
with existing researchers at UD. The candidate should enjoy collaborating with
researchers from various disciplines (e.g., medical engineering, biochemistry) and
helping researchers new to MRI.
This is an outstanding opportunity for a scholar
to join and strengthen the growing Department of Psychological and Brain
Sciences (https://www.psych.udel.edu) and University of Delaware (https://www.udel.edu) that already has a promising core of interdisciplinary
researchers utilizing cutting edge methodologies.
An innovative leader in research and teaching, the University of Delaware
combines a rich historic legacy with a commitment to education and the latest
in advanced technology. With external funding exceeding $200 million per year,
the University ranks among the top 100 universities in federal R&D support
for science and engineering. Enhanced by state-of-the-art facilities, research
is conducted across all seven colleges and numerous interdisciplinary
institutes and centers. Relevant facilities on campus include the new 11,600
square foot Center for Biomedical and Brain Imaging, housing the 9.4T/30cm
Bruker MRI, a 3T Siemens Magnetom Prisma, and transcranial magnetic stimulation
machine; a 103,000 square foot Health Sciences Complex, a facility that
includes labs for small animal and human-based studies, and an active outpatient
clinic; a 194,000 square foot Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering
Laboratory; and the Delaware Technology Park, where entrepreneurial and
academic research labs are co-located. The Delaware Health Sciences Alliance
(DHSA), a partnership among the University of Delaware, Christiana
Care Health System, Nemours/Alfred I. du Pont Hospital for Children,
and Thomas Jefferson
University, provides infrastructure and opportunity
for innovative clinical and translational collaborations.
The University of Delaware is located in Newark, Delaware, which is only a
short drive or train commute from Philadelphia, PA. UD is also within driving
distance of New York City, Baltimore, Washington DC, the Poconos and some of
the finest beaches in the country, making it an ideal location for day or
weekend trips.
Applicants for this position must have earned a Ph.D., tenure (or be nearing
tenure), have a history of high-level publications in behavioral neuroscience
or related fields, and conduct fundable research.
Using the Interfolio system at UD, http://apply.interfolio.com/58701,
applicants submit a cover letter, a statement of research, a current curriculum
vitae, three representative publications, and three confidential letters of
reference. Inquiries, but not application materials, should be emailed to
Jeffrey Rosen, Chair of the small animal MRI Faculty Search committee,
jrosen@psych.udel.edu. Review of applications will begin on January 15, 2019
and will continue until the position is filled.
