The Department of Neurosciences invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. We seek highly motivated applicants who utilize innovative and cutting-edge approaches to investigate fundamental mechanisms of neural development, regeneration, circuit plasticity, systems function, and neural computation in vertebrate nervous systems and how perturbation of these mechanisms contributes to neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative, and/or psychiatric diseases. The new investigator will have the opportunity to interact and collaborate with a diverse group of individuals in basic science and clinical departments within the School of Medicine, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic, Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, and MetroHealth Medical Center. Case Western Reserve University has outstanding core facilities for biomedical research including state-of-the-art services in cellular and whole animal imaging, genomics, gene targeting, proteomics/mass spectrometry, cryo-EM/ET, bioinformatics, and mouse behavioral phenotyping. Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine has committed significant resources for major expansion of neuroscience research, including the appointment of C. Ron Yu as chair of the department. We offer competitive salary and startup packages.
The School of Medicine has committed resources for major expansion of the Neurosciences including hiring of tenure track research focused faculty at the rank of assistant or associate professor. To accomplish this objective, the Department of Neurosciences will initiate a nationwide search during FY2026 with the expectation of recruiting new faculty for FY2027.
In the initial year, the new assistant professor faculty member's responsibility will be to equip the new independent investigator lab, hire staff, recruit trainees, write and submit new principal investigator grant proposals, and begin pursuing research objectives. The development of the assistant professor faculty member's role will include, beginning in year 2 or 3, teaching in graduate level coursework and/or in the Case Western Reserve Medical School curriculum. During the pretenure years, the faculty member will analyze new findings and assemble the findings into manuscripts for publication. The assistant professor will begin to pursue activities at the national and international levels such as journal article refereeing, national and private foundation grant review, and invited seminar presentations at other institutions. Locally, the faculty member will begin to contribute service in years 3 and beyond by participating on departmental, medical school and/or university committees. Faculty recruited at the associate level will begin teaching in years 1 or 2. These faculty will continue their research programs, continue pursuit of grant funding, and develop new collaborations with existing CWRU faculty. Associate level faculty will expand their existing national and international research and service activities and take on leadership roles in departmental activities and committees.
