Neuroscience Theme Full Time Equivalent Faculty Position
University of California Los Angeles
Requisition Number: JPF09808
The UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine (DGSOM) is launching a sustained, multi-year effort to invest in neuroscience through multiple faculty appointments. We are seeking outstanding faculty members taking interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the brain and are currently inviting applications for a full-time tenure-track/tenured faculty position. We encourage applications across a broad range of fundamental questions from curiosity-driven research into the principles of brain development and function to the applied neuroscience of understanding neuropsychiatric diseases. We especially welcome candidates addressing problems in neuroscience with approaches ranging from genetics to machine learning and artificial intelligence. We will consider applicants working at a range of scales: from atomic, molecular and cellular levels to systems/circuits and cognition.
The Neuroscience faculty at UCLA occupy state-of-the-art modern laboratories, leverage cutting edge computing resources, and conduct fundamental and/or translational research in molecular, cellular, computational, and systems neuroscience. Neuroscience labs are associated with many departments, including those in the medical school and the main campus; interactions across departments and schools are facilitated by the close proximity of the departments and schools to each other, and by the many interdepartmental programs, including the campus-wide Brain Research Institute and the DGSOM Neuroscience Theme, as well as seminars and initiatives. It is anticipated that the successful candidate will be interdepartmental with a primary appointment in an appropriate clinical or basic science department.
Selected candidates will be invited to speak at one of two symposia on January 16, 2025, or January 30, 2025.
Qualifications:
Applicants must have a Ph.D., or an M.D., or equivalent degree. Preference will be given to early career applicants, i.e., at the Assistant Professor level, although exceptional candidates at any level, including Associate and Full Professor, will be considered. Emphasis will be placed on the applicants' record of research accomplishment, creativity, teaching excellence, and future research plans.
We are seeking candidates with the potential for being outstanding in the above noted requirements, in research and teaching, and in having a clear commitment to enhancing the diversity of the faculty, staff, and trainees.
To apply, submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, research statement, and a list of three references:

The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, bullying and other demeaning behavior, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment as well as a commitment to addressing all forms of academic misconduct, UCLA conducts targeted employment reference checks for finalists to whom departments or other hiring units would like to extend formal offers of appointment into Academic Senate faculty positions. The targeted employment reference checks involve contacting the finalists' current and prior places of employment to ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would violate the University's Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UCLA requires all applicants for Academic Senate faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled “Authorization to Release Information” into RECRUIT as part of their application. If the applicant does not include the signed authorization to release information with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete. As with any incomplete application, the application will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists (i.e., those to whom the department or other hiring unit would like to extend a formal offer) considered for Academic Senate faculty positions will be subject to targeted employment reference checks.
