Assistant Professor, Behavior Genomics
The University of Alabama, Center for the Prevention of Youth Behavior Problems
The Center for Prevention of Youth Behavior Problems (CPYBP) at The University of Alabama is recruiting for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant professor level starting August 16, 2012. The position is broadly defined as one that could require expertise in behavioral genetics, epigenetics, or computational biology. Responsibilities include undergraduate and graduate teaching, research mentoring, development of an independent research program, and pursuit of external funding.
Candidates for this position should possess a Ph.D. in biology, psychology, anthropology or related discipline, with an emphasis in neuroscience, and demonstrate potential for a distinguished scientific career. Postdoctoral training is preferred. [The position targets individuals with a background in any area of behavioral genomics related to aggressive behavior in humans. However, specific areas that will be given preference are those focused on genetic or neural substrates for environmental interactions related to decision-making and aggressive behavior in youth. The successful candidate is expected to develop an externally funded research program and to collaborate with faculty with related interests in the CPYBP and in the Departments of Biology and Psychology. Although the faculty position is located in the CPYBP, the faculty person will be expected to have his/her academic appointment within one of the university's departments. Teaching responsibilities include graduate and undergraduate level behavioral genetic courses.
To apply, go to http://facultyjobs.ua.edu and complete the online application.
