Assistant Professor-Tenure System - Peripheral Nervous System

The Department of Physiology and the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Michigan State University invites applications for a tenure-system faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor.

We seek outstanding candidates investigating the role of the peripheral nervous system in the regulation of physiology and disease. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, neuroimmunology, organ-brain communication, neuroendocrinology, autonomic neuroscience, sensory biology, neurovascular interactions, neuro‑metabolic regulation, and neural mechanisms underlying chronic disease. We are particularly interested in investigators whose research addresses how peripheral neural circuits interact with other organ systems to maintain homeostasis or contribute to pathology.

Successful candidates will be expected to establish and maintain a vigorous, externally funded research program, contribute to the teaching mission of the department and college including graduate, undergraduate, and professional education and participate in departmental and university service activities. Candidates will have the opportunity to join the Department of Physiology and participate in robust interdisciplinary graduate training programs, including the Neuroscience, the Molecular Cellular Integrated Physiology, and the Biomedical Sciences Programs.

The Department of Physiology provides a highly collaborative and interactive research environment with strengths in neuroscience, immunology, metabolism, cardiovascular biology, and systems physiology. Faculty have access to outstanding institutional resources, including state-of-the-art core facilities for genomics, imaging, bioinformatics, flow cytometry, transgenic, and computational biology. Michigan State University fosters extensive opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations across colleges, institutes, and clinical partnerships with HFH and Spectrum Health.
