| Full time tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Human Physiology, in the area of Neural Control of Movement or Neuromuscular Physiology, beginning Fall 2011.
The Department of Human Physiology at the University of Oregon has strengths in biomedical and rehabilitation research that span the fields of biomechanics, physiology, motor control, and athletic training (physiology.uoregon.edu). The Department has undergone a substantial expansion over the last 5 years and now has over 800 undergraduate majors. In addition, the department has primary responsibility for developing a Human Health and Performance Initiative that is one of only five focus areas across campus that the President and Provost have targeted for external funding and philanthropic giving over the next 3-5 years. As part of our growth, the department invites applications for a tenure-track position at the level of Assistant Professor.
The ideal candidate for this position will have a proven record of research investigating the neural principles underlying human movement or other aspects of neuromuscular physiology. All areas of research related to neural control will be considered; however, experience with clinical populations with central and/or peripheral nervous system disorders is highly desirable. Candidates with expertise in human-based research using state of the art techniques are strongly encouraged to apply.
A PhD or MD in a related field and at least two years of postdoctoral training or independent university research experience are required. Previous university-level teaching experience is highly desirable. A demonstrated ability or high potential to attract external funding is required. The successful candidate is expected to establish a vigorous research program supported by extramural funding, contribute to the mission of the department in undergraduate and graduate teaching, and engage in departmental and university service. The successful candidate will also have the ability to work effectively with faculty, staff and students with diverse backgrounds. Competitive salary support and start-up funds will be provided.
