The Department of Biological Science at Florida State University invites applications for TWO tenure-track Assistant Professors in Neuroscience. These positions offer the opportunity to join a dynamic and supportive community within the Department, and the broader, multidisciplinary Graduate Programs in Neuroscience, Molecular Biophysics, and Cell and Molecular Biology. Our collaborative environment is designed to foster the development of an outstanding research program in neuroscience while contributing to the education and mentorship of the next generation of scientific leaders. We are particularly interested in candidates with a research focus in the following two categories:

• Chemosensory/Systems Neuroscience with a focus on investigating chemosensory processes, ingestive behavior, neural circuitry, or gut-brain interactions in vertebrates or other model organisms. Preferred expertise in advanced techniques such as large-scale neural recording (e.g., electrophysiology, imaging), and/or behavioral assays with neural manipulation (to link neural circuits to behavior) is highly desirable. We are seeking collaborative preceptors to join our longstanding (>30y) NIH Chemosensory Training Program.
• Cellular/Molecular Neuroscience focusing on synaptic structure, gene regulation, stem cells or disease mechanisms. The ideal candidate will have expertise in investigating neural circuits, glia biology, neuroimmunology, development, cellular and/or molecular functions and utilize advanced, cutting-edge in vitro and/or in vivo techniques. We are seeking new colleagues that would complement existing specialties in epigenetics, development, drug addiction, circadian biology, and aging.

The Department of Psychology and the Neuroscience Program are inviting applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in Neuroscience, with the appointment expected to start in August 2025.

The role involves teaching and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, conducting and publishing research in Neuroscience, and contributing to departmental service through committee participation.

Candidates with lines of laboratory animal research in any area of Neuroscience are encouraged to apply, particularly those who work to understand experience-dependent neural activity in the normal or diseased brain. Such research might include spatial navigation, decision making, and/or learning and memory. Applicants with a demonstrated commitment to expanding access to neuroscience through their program of research are encouraged to apply.
