The successful candidate will apply multidisciplinary and translational approaches to identify key cellular processes controlling the brain. This position builds on existing strengths in research on addiction, motivation, cognition, learning and memory, biological rhythms and neurophysiology at Concordia University. The successful candidate will become a full member of The Center for Studies in Behavioral Neurobiology and will have access to state-of-the-art facilities at Concordia University, including the PERFORM center, the Center for Microscopy and Cell Imaging, and the Center for Biological Applications of Mass Spectrometry.
Concordia University is strongly committed to achieving equity, diversity and inclusion throughout the institution and recognizes the value of achieving inclusive excellence in both teaching and research contexts.
Candidates must have completed their PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience or a relevant field or be near completion at the start date of the appointment. The main criteria for selection are scholarly and teaching excellence and a demonstrated commitment to supporting our department’s equitable and inclusive learning environments. The successful candidate will provide evidence of high-quali ty scholarly output that demonstrates the potential for independent research leading to peer-assessed publications and the securing of external research funding, as well as strong potential for outstanding teaching contributions at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The department values diversity among its faculty and strongly encourages applications from women and members of underrepresented groups.
