The Center for Molecular & Behavioral Neuroscience (CMBN) at Rutgers University seeks outstanding
candidates for a tenure track Assistant Professor position in NEUROSCIENCE. Applicants should hold a
Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience or a related field and have completed at least two years of post-doctoral
training.
The ideal candidate for this position asks fundamental hypothesis-driven questions about brain structure
and function and is open to establishing collaborative research efforts within the Rutgers neuroscience
community. Research areas of particular interest are executive control, sensory-motor integration,
learning and memory, and emotional regulation. The successful applicant will likely use a broad range of
experimental approaches in non-human primates, and/or humans. The assistant professor will be
expected to maintain an active externally-funded research program, to teach undergraduate and graduate
courses in neuroscience, and to mentor Ph.D. students in the Behavioral and Neural Sciences program.
