Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Neuroscience. The Neuroscience
Department at Wellesley College invites applications for a tenure-track faculty
position at the assistant professor level to begin in July 2023. We seek
candidates who share our strong commitment to increasing diversity, equity and
inclusion in STEM undergraduate research and education. We are especially
interested in a broadly trained neuroscientist whose teaching, research, service,
and/or personal experience has prepared them to successfully attract, retain, and
mentor underrepresented students in neuroscience, and has a research agenda
with the potential to attract extramural funding. Candidates should have a PhD
and preference will be given to those with postdoctoral experience. This position
is open to all areas of neuroscience, to candidates who complement and extend
our existing program in new ways. Those areas include, but are not limited to,
cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease, neurodevelopment, and
neuroengineering. If you are committed to research and teaching in a liberal arts
environment, we welcome your application. The successful candidate will teach
courses within the Neuroscience curriculum, including an upper-level course in
their area of expertise. We have a new, $200 million Science Complex that is
well-equipped for research and teaching, including cutting-edge instrumentation
and an AAALAC accredited Animal Care Facility with housing and surgical suites
available to all faculty.
Applications should submit the following: 1) cover letter, 2) curriculum vitae, 3)
statement of research experience, interests and future plans, 4) statement of
teaching philosophy and interests, 5) diversity statement discussing how the
candidate will contribute to Wellesley College’s commitment to diversity, equity
and inclusion, and 6) arrange for 3 references to submit letters of
recommendation. Materials should be submitted electronically here (and at the
link below) Review of applications will begin October 3, 2022 and continue until
the position is filled.
