Job Summary:The Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery ((Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).) in conjunction with the Department of Physiology & Biophysics () invite applications for a tenure eligible faculty position at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (UC-AMC) in Aurora, Colorado. This joint hire seeks to expand and synergize research directions within the Hearing and Balance group at the UC-AMC. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with the group which includes several NIH-funded investigators with broad interests in mechanisms associated with auditory and vestibular function from animal models to humans and includes Drs Agrawal, Greene, Klug, Manchaiah, Peng, Rennie, Santos-Cortez, Tollin, Uhler, and others.
The ideal candidate for the position will have a Ph.D., MD or MD/PhD degree and will lead an active extramurally funded research program focused on central /cortical mechanisms of auditory and/or vestibular function. Applications are encouraged from individuals using cutting edge technologies incorporating techniques such as in vivo Ca2+ imaging, electrophysiology, bioengineering, brain computer/machine interfaces, neuromodulation and/or computational approaches.
The appointee will have the opportunity to participate in the Department of Otolaryngology's NIDCD R25 training program which is led by Dr. Yuri Agrawal, (Chair of the Department) and Dr. Sue Kinnamon. The recruit will also be well positioned to join the UC-AMC's vibrant cross-departmental Neuroscience Graduate Training Program which has > 100 faculty members conducting basic and clinical research. Notable areas of strength within these programs include sensory neuroscience and synaptic plasticity.
Outstanding collaborative opportunities and core facilities exist at the medical campus to facilitate translational research including a recently renewed NIH CTSA program. Effective mentoring will be provided for junior and mid-career faculty. This position includes a start-up package and laboratory space at the UC-AMC in Aurora, CO.
The appointee will also join a vibrant and growing Department of Physiology & Biophysics under the leadership of Dr. David Di Gregorio with a commitment to mentoring faculty in an inclusive environment. Research strengths in the Department relevant for this position are systems neuroscience (auditory, visual and motor), brain computer interface, and computational neuroscience. Research topics range from muscle physiology, circuit basis of motor control, visual system and, importantly, the auditory system.
The collaboration between the two thriving departments to support this position highlights a unique opportunity for establishing transformative translational research programs that create novel therapeutic opportunities.
The UC-AMC hosts a vibrant research community. Students benefit from NIH-supported interdepartmental graduate programs and centers (e.g., Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Structural Biology, Human Medical Genetics, Computational Biology, Bioengineering and Biochemistry programs). The appointee will be able to interact with affiliated Faculty within the Departments of Bioinformatics on campus and Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the CU Boulder campus.
Work Location: This position is expected to work onsite in Aurora, CO.
