We are looking for colleagues who will complement our existing strengths in molecular and systems neuroscience, disorders of the nervous system, central control of energy homeostasis and cardiovascular function, cell signaling, aging, and cancer biology. Neuroscience and Pharmacology faculty members direct a long-standing NIH funded training program for predoctoral students in Pharmacological Sciences and have strong collaborative interactions with colleagues throughout the Carver College of Medicine, Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, Cardiovascular Center, Iowa Neuroscience Institute, and the Fraternal Order of Eagles Diabetes Research Center. Both the college and university support core research facilities to aid faculty efforts in discovery and scholarship. These tenure-track positions include a 12- month salary with benefits, a highly competitive start-up package, and research space in state-of-the-art facilities. In addition, mentoring is in place to help facilitate professional success.

Candidates must have a relevant doctoral degree (Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent), demonstrated ability in research and teaching and/or mentoring, and documented potential to direct an innovative and productive research program.  For the Assistant Professor rank, this includes a minimum of 3 years of postdoctoral training and a strong record of research accomplishments. For the Associate and Full Professor rank, this additionally includes a record of teaching excellence, commitment to service, and a productive research record of broad interest to neuroscience and/or pharmacology.
