Simon Fraser University
The Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University invites applications for a tenure-track position as an assistant professor in the field of Neuroscience. Research expertise may include areas such as neuromuscular physiology, neuro-rehabilitation, neuromuscular disorders, and sensorimotor neuroscience. The successful candidate will have a strong commitment to excellence in research and teaching. S/he is expected to establish a well-funded independent research program and teach courses in our undergraduate and graduate curricula.
The undergraduate and graduate programs in the Department include core and elective courses in human physiology. The successful candidate will have a sufficiently broad knowledge of neuroscience and make a strong commitment to the teaching of these courses. Our undergraduate teaching program includes majors in Biomedical Physiology, Kinesiology and Behavioral Neuroscience. We have research foci in Neuromechanics, Cardiac Physiology, Chronic Disease, and Environmental Physiology (http://www.sfu.ca/bpk.html), with training at both the M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels.
The Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology takes a scientific approach to the study of human structure and function and their relation to health and movement. There are excellent research facilities available within the Department and the University. The Department has over 25 research faculty and is committed to excellence in research and teaching in the biomedical sciences. Our faculty collaborate with Engineering Science through the Biomedical Engineering Program, Psychology through the joint major in Behavioral Neuroscience as well with the other life science departments Molecular Biology and Biochemistry and Biological Sciences. Simon Fraser University is located in the Greater Vancouver metropolitan area, has about 30,000 full-time students and is consistently ranked as one of the top comprehensive universities in Canada. The Vancouver area is renowned as one of the world’s most desirable places to live and work.
