McLaughlin Research Institute

The McLaughlin Research Institute in Great Falls, Montana, invites applications for two faculty positions in mammalian biology, genetics and/or neuroscience; one is open-rank and the other is for an assistant professor.  We seek individuals who can take advantage of the Institute 's strengths and address important fundamental mechanisms in neurobiology, neurological, psychiatric diseases, or related areas. We are undergoing a time of expansion built on a foundation of pre-clinical animal models of neurological and neurodegenerative disease. Applicants with an interest in basic, translational, clinical, and/or computational approaches to solving complex human health problems are encouraged to apply. Candidates should possess a medical or doctoral degree and have a record of research excellence. Successful candidates are expected to develop a productive research program that can compete successfully for grant funding. Willingness and ability to establish both intramural and extramural collaborations is essential.
