Tenure Track Assistant Professorship focused on Neurodegeneration at the Institute for Behavioral Genetics
The Institute for Behavioral Genetics, University of Colorado Boulder, invites applications for a tenure track Assistant Professorship with an academic appointment in one of the following departments:Psychology and NeuroscienceIntegrative PhysiologyThe Institute seeks to build on its strength in neurodegeneration and behavioral genetics research. Successful candidates should have a robust background in neurogenetics, high-content genomics, and experience with iPSC-derived neurons and glia and neural organoids. Preference will be given to those with expertise in neurodegeneration, particularly in using patient-derived iPSC lines and single-cell genomics and/or human-animal chimeric translational research. Appointees will participate in the research and teaching missions of the Institute and their academic department, which can include the Department of Integrative Physiology or the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience. This is the first of two hires focused on neurodegeneration, with a second hire in 2026 in the BioFrontiers Institute.
