Description

Faculty Position - Assistant Professor

The Center for Neuroethology and Physiological Plasticity (https://medicine.yale.edu/neuroethology-physiological-plasticity/) and the Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology (https://medicine.yale.edu/physiology/) at Yale are conducting a faculty search at the assistant professor level.

The Center harnesses the extraordinary adaptations of specialized vertebrate organisms to uncover fundamental biological principles driving the plasticity and resilience of neurophysiological, metabolic, sensory, and reproductive systems-principles with relevance to human health, aging, and therapeutic innovation that would remain hidden in conventional laboratory models.

We seek creative investigators whose research program aligns with the Center's mission. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying sensory processing, neural and physiological plasticity, metabolic regulation, or reproductive physiology.

Qualifications

Candidates must hold a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree.

Application Instructions

Applicants should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a 2-page statement that describes past research accomplishments and future goals and should arrange three letters of reference. Applicants should apply at the following website: https://apply.interfolio.com/191722. Applications will be reviewed as they are received until the positions are filled, with priority given to those applications received by November 1, 2026.
