The Department of Neuroscience at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) invites applications for a tenure-track assistant or associate professor position in the research area of developmental neurobiology and its disorders. Major topics of interest include, but are not limited to, genetics, epigenetics and molecular mechanisms of neural development, neuroimmune biology, and circuit development and plasticity. We are interested in applicants that use cutting-edge molecular-genetic technologies or brain imaging to study important questions in the field of neurodevelopment. Applicants should have a PhD and/or MD with appropriate research expertise and are expected to possess an outstanding record of high-quality publications, a strong potential to secure extramural research funding, and a clear commitment to promoting workplace diversity in all its forms.

Successful candidates will benefit from a competitive start-up package in a basic science department that consistently ranks in the top 10 in NIH awards and has a strong commitment to faculty mentoring and collegiality. The research-oriented department comprises a successful PhD graduate program, two NIH-funded T32 training grants for pre- and postdoctoral scholars, and two NIH Center grants.

MUSC is located in the coastal city of Charleston, SC – a city known for its rich history, arts and culture, higher education, architecture, beautiful beaches, top-rated restaurants and wonderful people. Charleston receives perennial honors as a most desirable place to visit and live.

Interested applicants should submit a CV, a 3-page statement of research interests, a 1-page diversity statement, and contact information for three professional references to Amanda Felix (felixam@musc.edu). Please reference “neurodevelopment search” in the subject line. Applications submitted before December 1, 2020 will receive full consideration.

The Medical University of South Carolina is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to workplace diversity. Applications from individuals with disabilities, females, minorities and veterans are particularly welcome.
