  • Tenure-Track Position (full professor) in Human Neuroscience at Arizona State Univ.

    Professor
    Human Neuroscience
    College of Health Solutions; ASU

    The College of Health Solutions at Arizona State University (ASU) is seeking a full-time, 9-month, tenured faculty member at the rank of full professor in the area of human neuroscience.

    This position will be directly involved in the college’s Grand Challenges, which are some of the most complex and difficult health challenges facing Arizona. Each Grand Challenge is huge in scope and requires translational research, transformative collaboration and innovation. The college’s Grand Challenges are the following: promoting healthy lifestyles, improving mental health, and reducing barriers to health and health care. We are particularly interested in making an impact on populations with significant health disparities, such as veterans and people experiencing homelessness.

    Faculty must work collaboratively across disciplinary boundaries in the area of physical and cognitive health with research that is related to at least one of college’s Grand Challenges. The candidate should be able to teach courses related to human neuroscience across disciplines. We seek a researcher interested in working with colleagues within the College of Health Solutions in the academic program areas of Behavioral Health, Biomedical Informatics and Biomedical Diagnostics, Exercise Science and Kinesiology, Medical Studies and Health Sciences, Nutrition, Population Health, Science of Health Care Delivery, and Speech and Hearing Science. There are also many opportunities for collaborations with investigators outside of the College of Health Solutions including Behavioral Neuroscience and Cognitive Science (Department of Psychology), In Biomedical Engineering (School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering), Interdisciplinary Neuroscience (School of Life Sciences), the ASU-Banner Neurodegenerative Disease Research Center, the Biodesign Institute, Barrow Neurological Institute, Mayo Clinic, etc.
    Responsibilities for this position include maintaining a successful research program, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, mentoring students and junior faculty, and providing service to the program and university as well as to the community and profession. The ideal candidate will present evidence of a successful research trajectory, including a sustained extramural funding and peer-reviewed publications, and a strong commitment to high quality teaching and mentoring.

    The College values our cultural and intellectual diversity, and continually strives to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment. Veterans and individuals who can strengthen the diversity of the academic community are encouraged to apply.

    Required Qualifications


    • Doctorate or terminal degree (PhD, ScD, MD/DO, DBH, or DrPH) in neuroscience or related fields such as biological psychology, psychobiology, neuropsychology, clinical psychology, movement or rehabilitation science, engineering, speech and hearing science, nutrition, behavioral health, integrated health, health psychology, etc.
    • Evidence of a successful history of obtaining extramural funding through the NIH, CDC, DOD, or similar federal mechanisms and/or foundations (e.g., Robert Wood Johnson Foundation) commensurate with the rank of Professor
    • Evidence of a sustained history of peer reviewed publications in high-impact journals commensurate with the rank of Professor
    • Evidence of successful teaching of courses related to the field of behavioral neuroscience at the university level commensurate with the rank of Professor
    • Demonstrated ability to work and communicate effectively with a diverse group of colleagues, students, and staff


    Desired Qualifications

    • Experience teaching graduate level courses and mentoring graduate students in research and publishing
    • Experience in developing and maintaining community partnerships and inter-professional or team-based collaborations
    • Research foci that facilitate translation of science into practice (e.g., clinical trials, dissemination and implementation research, etc.)
    • Research focus in the areas of cognitive and/or physical health, population health, etc.
    • Background, knowledge, and/or research relevant in the areas of cognitive and/or physical health, population health, etc. relevant to the needs of the Arizona's diverse populations and the college's Grand Challenges
    • Evidence of active involvement in university and professional service commensurate with the rank of Professor
