Position(s) in the Department of Pharmacology and

Experimental Neuroscience (PEN)

University of Nebraska Medical Center

PEN and the Nebraska Center for Nanomedicine seek candidates for tenureleading faculty positions to join an interdisciplinary research program focusing on CNS disorders, their diagnosis and treatment. One position seeks a committed scientist with expertise at the crossroad of nanoformulation synthesis and neurosciences. The other seeks a scientist with interests in Neuropharmacology. The competitive candidates would be knowledgeable in neural, chemical biology, and/or pharmaceutical sciences to join an established research team with multiple nanoscale, neuroscience, immune, and proteomics technologies operative. The research environment involves team pursuits, to improve the diagnosis, therapeutic monitoring, and treatment of neurological disorders.  Parallel programs in stem cell biology, cancer biology, and HIV/AIDS enhance the research environment. Core facilities abound for quality control of nanoformulations and in disease-relevant model systems. The positions will create a “new” nanotoxicity initiative at the Medical Center and serve to broaden ongoing research on neurodegenerative disorders. Both PEN and the Nanomedicine Center interact with the University’s Neuroscience and Virology Centers, and the Eppley Cancer Institute. The positions are open at all academic ranks. A Ph.D. degree or equivalent is required and junior investigators welcome. Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.
