FACULTY-ALL RANKS (CLINICAL)

The Columbia University Center for Motor Neuron Biology and Disease (MNC) and the Eleanor and Lou Gehrig MDA/ALS Research Center seek up to two new faculty members with interests in motor neuron biology and disease, especially amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The successful candidate(s) will join a translational program that brings together basic, genetic, clinical, and epidemiological research (websites: http://www.ColumbiaMNC.org; http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/dept/als; http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/dept/sergievsky).

For the first position, we are particularly interested in hiring a clinician-scientist who can see ALS patients and in parallel carry out his/her own research program in this area. However, nonclinical candidates with a strong translational program are also invited to apply.

For the second position, we seek a candidate with a strong track record in epidemiology and clinical genetics who is motivated to work on ALS and related disorders.

Appropriate startup packages will be offered. As members of the MNC, faculty will have access to core facilities, including high throughput screening and internal grant programs.

Columbia University has a world-renowned program in neurobiology and behavior and in medical and surgical neurology. Faculty will be affiliated with the Departments of Neurology and/or Pathology and Cell Biology and will interact with other programs and centers, including the Gertrude H. Sergievsky Center.
