Tenure - track Faculty - Department of Neuroscience

Job Details

The Department of Neuroscience at Yale University seeks to hire multiple new tenure track faculty members with interests in molecular, cellular, systems or cognitive neuroscience in health or disease.  We are enthusiastic about candidates bridging between traditional conceptual or methodological boundaries.

The successful candidates will be embedded in a richly collaborative community supporting intellectual creativity.  The Yale Neuroscience Department realizes that the full potential of our research lies in the power that diverse perspectives bring to the field. We are working to foster an environment where individuals of any race, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic class, sexual orientation, and geographical background feel supported and empowered to push forward the frontiers of neuroscience based on the principles of inclusivity, equity and belonging. We therefore strongly encourage applicants from historically minoritized backgrounds to apply.

Emphasis will be placed on recruiting at the level of Assistant Professor, but applicants at Associate Professor level will also be considered. The neuroscience community at Yale is dynamic and expanding, and includes the Kavli Institute for Neuroscience, the Wu Tsai Institute, the Program in Cellular Neuroscience, Neurodegeneration and Repair (CNNR) and the Swartz Program in Theoretical Neuroscience. The Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program provides robust Ph.D. training to a large group of students. The Department provides outstanding support to researchers via shared facilities such as microscopy and neurotechnology cores, and growing cores in iPSC biology and data science, as well as resources for nonhuman primate research.  By mid 2023, the Department will occupy new space optimized for modern science and maximal interaction and collaboration. New faculty will be supported by a generous start-up package and ongoing salary support.  Faculty are expected to develop a productive and innovative research program that will include the opportunity to participate in graduate and medical education.

Candidates must hold a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree. Please send a cover letter, a diversity statement, a research statement, a curriculum vitae, and arrange for submission of 3 letters of recommendation.

  • Cover letter: Indicate your desired level of appointment (Assistant or Associate Professor). Diversity statement (1-page max): Describe your understanding of the challenges facing historically underrepresented groups in science, as well as your lived experience, commitment, and ideas for addressing these inequities. Research statement (3-page max, including optional figures and references): Describe your most significant scientific discoveries and accomplishments to date, as well as the focus and goals of your future research program. Curriculum Vitae: Include links to publications or website.

All application materials should be submitted electronically to  http://apply.interfolio.com/110309.  Any questions regarding the application process may be addressed to Pauline.charbogne@yale.edu.  Applications will be reviewed as they are received until the positions are filled with priority given to those applications received by October 15, 2022.

Yale University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer. Yale values diversity among its students, staff, and faculty and strongly welcomes applications from women, persons with disabilities, protected veterans, and underrepresented minorities.
