Assistant Professor of Neuroscience (Start Fall 2025)

GRINNELL COLLEGE invites applications for a tenure-track appointment in Neuroscience beginning Fall 2025. The successful candidate will have expertise through their research or teaching in an area of neuroscience that involves problems or systems outside the realm of the sciences. We are expanding our curriculum and seek a neuroscientist who will develop and teach a new course that emphasizes the interdisciplinary connections between neuroscience and areas considered as humanities or social science disciplines. The candidate will be appointed in the department most appropriate to their disciplinary training and will join a rotation of faculty who teach our 200-level core course with laboratory and our senior seminar. Other teaching will include an advanced course in the candidate’s area of specialization, suitable existing courses in the home department, and our first-year tutorial, which all faculty teach once every three or four years. Ph.D. in neuroscience or a closely related field is required.  Assistant Professor preferred; Associate Professor possible. The teaching load is five courses over two semesters; lab sections count as 1/2 course. The successful candidate will have a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and the interest and demonstrated ability to maintain a research program that involves undergraduate students.
