The NYU Pain Research Center (PRC) and Department of Molecular Pathobiology at the New York University (NYU) Dentistry seeks applications at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor for tenure track research-focused positions in the areas of chronic pain mechanisms, therapeutic management of pain, and related disciplines.

The Department of Molecular Pathobiology has a strong and rapidly expanding research program with substantial support from the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, and Foundations. The Department is located in state-of-the-art laboratories in close proximity to the broader NYU research community. Research in the Department focuses on understanding normal human biology and disease through studies of molecules, cells, tissues and systems as well as the engineering aspects of life science and medicine.

Current interests include: molecular mechanisms and treatment of chronic pain; metabolic and inflammatory diseases; gut-brain signaling; and regenerative and developmental biology, tissue engineering, biomaterials and AI-linked diagnostics. The members of the Pain Research Center investigate the structure and function of receptors and ion channels that signal pain, pain signaling mechanisms and pathways, as well as mechanisms of neuropathic, inflammatory and cancer pain, abdominal pain, oral sensation and itch.

The Department wishes to recruit highly creative scientists who will lead and maintain cutting-edge and extramurally funded research programs that will complement and synergize with current research activities in the Department and the Pain Research Center. The ideal candidate will collaborate with members of the Pain Research Center and Department of Molecular Pathobiology, faculty of NYU College of Dentistry, NYU School of Medicine-Langone Medical Center, NYU Tandon School of Engineering and NYU College of Arts and Sciences, as well as foster collaborations with the greater New York research community.

Individuals studying pain mechanisms using state-of-the-art approaches of biomedical and chemical engineering, stem cell biology and tissue regeneration, modeling painful diseases using human-focused experimental models, and developing novel approaches to treat chronic pain are encouraged to apply.
