The Institute of Neurobiology of the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus seeks applicants for two tenure-track positions at the Assistant Professor level. We are conducting a broad search and will consider candidates who have a record of innovative research in the areas of neuroscience or neurophysiology.

Researchers who use invertebrate model and non-model systems are encouraged to apply. The candidate should have a doctoral degree, a minimum of two years postdoctoral training, and research productivity commensurate with experience.

The successful candidate will be expected to establish an active, externally-funded research program. Fluency in Spanish is desirable but not essential.

This is a full-time research position that carries no teaching obligations; however, opportunities to obtain an academic appointment in a relevant department of the School of Medicine are available. In addition, 100% of the base salary is guaranteed by the institution and competitive researchers have the opportunity to receive significant bonuses and tax breaks.

Neuroscience has been targeted by UPR as a special area of growth, and this is reflected in both infrastructure investment and faculty hiring. The successful candidate will receive a competitive start-up package and laboratory space at the Institute of Neurobiology, in the heart of historic Old San Juan.

Assemble a curriculum vitae, a description of research interests, a plan for obtaining funding, the names and contact information of three referees, and reprints of two significant publications into a single pdf document and email it to: Dr. Joshua Rosenthal (rosenthal.joshua@gmail.com).

In order to receive full consideration, applications should be received by December 15, 2015. The start date for these positions will be July 2016. For more information please contact Dr. Joshua Rosenthal at the above email.
