What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant/Associate/Full Professor position at University of Illinois Hospital?
The Department of Psychiatry and UIC Alcohol Research Center is seeking a basic and/or translational alcohol researcher with an interest in the molecular, behavioral, and clinical mechanisms underlying alcohol use disorder (AUD). The Department and Alcohol Research Center brings together scientists and clinicians with expertise across multiple disciplines including neural, epigenetic, genetic and behavioral processes that contribute to the pathophysiology of AUD. The Department has a strong track record of NIH funding that supports both basic and clinical AUD and addiction research programs as well as depression, neuroimaging, and women’s mental health. With the support of a P50 from NIAAA, UIC’s Alcohol Research Center focuses on the epigenetic, molecular, and behavioral basis of AUD. The Center is also supported by an NIAAA-funded T32 alcohol research training grant (https://www.psych.uic.edu/research/alcohol-research-center). UIC is a highly collaborative research environment with a strong neuroscience presence across multiple departments including Anatomy & Cell Biology, Physiology & Biophysics, Neurology, Medicine, Biological Sciences, and Psychology. Training is provided by several interdisciplinary graduate programs including the interdepartmental Graduate Program in Neuroscience (GPN), the Graduate Education in bioMedical Sciences (GEMS) umbrella program, and an NIH-funded Medical Science Training Program (MSTP).
In addition to being an active member of UIC’s Alcohol Research Center, faculty will be expected to transfer and maintain their own independent, competitively funded research program focused on the neurobiology of AUD, with considerable support provided from the department. Eligible candidates will have a PhD, MD/PhD, or equivalent degree in a relevant area of neuroscience, neurobiology or biomedical sciences, and a track record of active NIH funding. Preference will be given to candidates who can bring a well-established alcohol research program to the UIC Alcohol Research Center in areas related to the neurocircuitry, behavioral, and molecular mechanisms of AUD with an interest and track record of bridging basic and clinical neuroscience. Inquiries and requests for more information should be directed to Dr. Subhash Pandey (scpandey@uic.edu), Chair, Search Committee. For fullest consideration, applicants must submit their application with a CV, cover letter along with research interest, and names of three references by Feb 27, 2025. Applicants must apply online at http://jobs.uic.edu and reference Job ID #1029255
