The Department of Neurosurgery at invites applications for an Assistant or Associate Professor. We seek a highly motivated Basic Science Researcher with expertise in neurosciences and neurosurgical-related research. Candidates with an MD, PhD, or MD/PhD degree are eligible, and clinician-researchers are encouraged to apply. Salary and FTE would be prorated for any clinical activity if relevant. The successful candidate will engage in groundbreaking basic science research, mentor trainees, and collaborate with clinical and research faculty to advance the field of neurosurgery.
Competitive applicants will have a strong history of success in securing extramural research funding in areas related to neurosurgery, such as neurotrauma, neuro-oncology, spinal cord injury, cerebrovascular diseases, or neuroregeneration and have a significant publication record in peer-reviewed journals and present findings at national and international conferences. Rank is to be determined based on qualifications and experience. In addition to conducting research, the faculty member will be expected to contribute to our educational mission through teaching and training of residents, medical students, graduate students, or postdoctoral fellows.
This is an exciting time to be at the UConn School of Medicine. The State of Connecticut has provided substantial support to the university through BioScience CT, an initiative that has rapidly expanded research infrastructure through lab construction and renovation and expansion of research faculty. Research and scholarship are a very high priority of the university.
We offer a collegial environment, competitive salary, and benefits. Candidates for this position should have experience and a strong interest in teaching, research, resident/medical student supervision and fellowship training, mentoring junior faculty and working with cross-disciplinary teams.
Interested candidates should submit a cover letter and curriculum vitae to Ketan Bulsara, M.D., M.B.A, Chairman, Neurosurgery. [email protected] .
