Faculty and Senior Staff Positions in Neuropharmacology:
 |
Tenure Track/Tenured Faculty Positions
The Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology in the School of
Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo under
the leadership of the newly appointed Chair, Dr. Margarita L.
Dubocovich, will recruit six tenure track faculty positions
at the level of Assistant, Associate or Full Professor. All
positions are 12-month fully funded state appointments. The
University at Buffalo (UB), the most comprehensive center for
professional education, training and research within the 64-campus
State University of New York (SUNY) system and a member of the
prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU), is
implementing the UB2020 strategic plan that will grow its faculty,
staff and student population by as much as 40% by 2020.
POSITION DESCRIPTION: Successful candidates should have strong
interest and/or experience in the pharmacological and toxicological
sciences to undertake research in drug discovery and targeted
therapeutic approaches to diseases and/or environmental health
science. Research interests in one or more of the following areas
are preferable: neuropharmacology, receptors, molecular recognition
and signal transduction, drugs of abuse, circadian biology,
neuroscience, endocrinology, cardiovascular, metabolism and membrane
transport, cancer and developmental pharmacology/toxicology. Faculty
will be expected to develop funded research programs and participate
in educational activities and teaching of pharmacology and
toxicology, as well as service to the University. Mentorship to
strengthen academic, research and grantsmanship skills will be
available.
STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES: In addition to modern well-designed
laboratory space, there are cutting edge research cores in many
areas, including genomics, proteomics, microscopy/imaging,
macromolecular crystallization, and transgenic animals. Diverse
opportunities for collaboration also exist at nearby Roswell Park
Cancer Institute, the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute,
the New York Center of Excellence for Bioinformatics and Life
Sciences, the Research Institute on Addictions and the Center for
Excellence in PK/PD in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT: Buffalo has unique characteristics, which
make it an ideal place to live and work. Buffalo, called “The City
of Good Neighbors,” is the second largest city in New York State.
Amherst, a nearby suburb, has been rated as one of the safest
communities in the nation. Area public schools are outstanding and
housing is very affordable. Buffalo is a cultural center with
excellent theater, museums and an exceptional symphony. In addition,
the surrounding environment contains two of the Great Lakes for
sailing, boating and fishing, hills for skiing and hiking and the
beauty of Niagara Falls which combine to create an optimal
environment. To learn more about the Buffalo/Niagara region visit:
www.buffalo.edu/aboutub/region.html.
CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS: All applicants should have a Ph.D., M.D.,
D.V.M., or an equivalent degree with appropriate postdoctoral and
professional experience. Applications for academic ranks other than
Assistant Professor will be considered from individuals with well
established and funded research programs, and evidence of academic
leadership, history of collaborations, mentoring skills, and
commitment to lead and promote educational programs.
APPLICATIONS: Applications including a C.V., statement of current
and future research interests, and the names and email addresses of
three references, should be submitted to:
http://www.ubjobs.buffalo.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=52223
(posting 0800424). Applications received by October 1st, 2008 will
be considered for interview in fall 2008. Search will continue until
all six positions are filled.
Additional information on departmental programs may be obtained on
the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology home page, accessible

Postdoctoral positions, Department of Pharmacology
and Toxicology, University of Utah
Three postdoctoral positions are available in the
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Utah, to
work on a NIDA-funded Program Project Grant and other RO1s assessing
the impact of psychostimulants and related agents on monoaminergic
systems. The first is in the laboratories of Drs. Annette
Fleckenstein (fleckenstein@hsc.utah.edu)
and Glen Hanson (Glen.Hanson@pharm.utah.edu),
and involves assessing the impact of psychostimulants on
monoaminergic transporter function. Experience with contingent drug
administration is preferred, but not required. The second is in the
laboratory of Drs. Diana Wilkins (Diana.Wilkins@utah.edu)
and Annette Fleckenstein, and involves assessing factors
contributing to the persistent deficits caused by methamphetamine.
The third is in the laboratory of Dr. Kristen Keefe (k.keefe@utah.edu)
and involves studying cellular and systems-level mechanisms
underlying methamphetamine-induced damage to striatal dopamine
systems. Experience in stereotaxic surgery, site-specific injection
of drugs, in vivo microdialysis, and/or in situ hybridization
histochemistry and immunohistochemistry is desired. Applicants
should have a Ph.D. in pharmacology or neuroscience. However,
candidates with strong scientific skills in any neuroscience-related
area and strong written and verbal communication skills also will be
considered and are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants
interested in one of these positions should send a cover letter,
curriculum vitae, statement of research experience/interests, and
names of three references to the PI listed above for the relevant
project. The University of Utah is an Equal Employment
Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. Posted June 21, 2009
