As seen in the 13 January issue of Science:

Florida Atlantic University seeks to hire a neuroscientist at the rank of full professor who will join a new neuroscience initiative on the university's MacArthur campus located in in Jupiter, Florida. We are interested in candidates with a well-established research program who will complement existing strengths at FAU in the Biology and Psychology Departments. Although all applicants with an interest in the neurosciences will be considered, applicants with an exceptional record of accomplishment in molecular and/or cellular neuroscience are strongly encouraged to apply. The Max Planck Florida Institute (MPFI) and The Scripps Research Institute (Scripps Florida) have recently established new research facilities on the MacArthur campus adjacent to the FAU-Life Science buildings that will house the neuroscience program. Ample opportunities exist for interaction and collaboration with their scientists, and as an initial step in this collaboration, a joint graduate program between FAU and MPFI has been established and admitted its first students this year (see http://www.science.fau.edu/neuroscience/iban/). A competitive start-up package will be available.

Interested applicants for this position should go to https://jobs.fau.edu and search postings for position #991114. Applications must be filed electronically and should include a cover letter stating your interest and a personal statement of research and teaching interests, a full CV as well as names and contact information for three referees. Applications will be considered beginning January 1, 2012 and the position will remain open until a suitable candidate is hired. A background check is required for candidates selected for these positions.
