Neuroscience Initiative and invite applications for up to three full-time (1.0 FTE), 12-month tenured or tenure track open rank faculty positions. The successful candidates will be part of an academic community that prioritizes innovation, creativity, and collaboration. The University of Florida has significant breadth and depth in neuroscience research. This includes, for example, research in neuro- and
neuromuscular imaging, movement disorders, spinal cord injury and stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, and neurorehabilitation. Focus is now being placed on leveraging the existing strengths of UF to recruit faculty in biostatistics and epidemiology who can serve as neuroscience principal investigators and collaborators. There is a tremendous need for faculty who can perform epidemiological/clinical
epidemiology/biostatistics studies in neurosciences. Some examples include the genetics of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson’s disease; risk factors for poor neurodevelopment in children; neuroprevention; the effects of exposure (e.g., cannabis) on neurocognition; the downstream effects of early- and mid-life social determinants of health on late life cognitive trajectories; rehabilitation for those with neurological
disorders; proper modeling of neuroimaging data; and integration of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and imaging data to understand neurological conditions and responses to therapy. A ready collaborative infrastructure exists across UF; for example, the departments of Clinical and Health Psychology, Neurology, Neuroscience, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy, and the McKnight Brain Institute and the
1Florida Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. The successful candidates will be expected to contribute both collaboratively and independently to externally funded research. Applicants will be expected to be principal investigators of extramurally funded research projects. Placement within PHHP/COM will be determined upon identification of a candidate for hire but are expected to be within the Department of
