Faculty Positions
Assistant Professor - The Department of Neuroscience is seeking an Assistant Professor, tenure track, individual conducting state-of-the-art neuroscience research who has demonstrated an exceptional record of research accomplishment in foundational neuroscience and who can also excel in our education mission. We are especially interested in individuals whose research interests build on current or emerging strengths in mammalian animal models of neural circuits/epilepsy as part of a recently awarded Track 1 NSF project, "West Virginia Network for Functional Neuroscience and Transcriptomics" (WV-NFNT). Modern research facilities and cores are available to support investigators’ pursuits. Supervisor: Dr. Randy Nelson
Service Assistant Professor - The Department of Neuroscience is seeking a part-time, benefit eligible, non-tenure track (12 month) Service Assistant Professor. The successful candidate will be an active member and master surgeon of the Experimental Stroke Core of the WVU Stroke Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (CoBRE). Supervisor: Dr. Courtney DeVries
Postdoctoral Fellow Positions
Post Doctoral Fellow - The Department of Neuroscience is seeking a highly motivated and creative post-doctoral researcher for the NIH-funded position related to structural and molecular mechanisms of synaptic remodeling during neurodegeneration and following an injury such as stroke. Supervisor: Dr. Martin Hruska
Post Doctoral Fellow - The Department of Neuroscience is seeking a productive and highly motivated individual interested in neuroscience-biological rhythms interactions. Current studies make use of molecular/cellular approaches to circadian influences on pain regulation and control. One goal of the research program is to understand the role of disrupted circadian rhythms on pain responses. Supervisor: Dr. Randy Nelson
Post Doctoral Fellow - The Department of Neuroscience is seeking several productive, skilled, and highly motivated postdoctoral fellows for several exciting research projects, with overall theme of neural circuit plasticity during development and in response to rearing conditions, sensory discrimination training, or stress. This position is part of a recently awarded project entitled, "West Virginia Network for Functional Neuroscience and Transcriptomics" (WV-NFNT). Supervisors: Drs. Aric Agmon, Charles Anderson, & Martin Hruska

Laboratory Technician/Manager Positions
Laboratory Technician - The Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute is seeking to hire a motivated Laboratory Research Assistant to conduct imaging and behavioral studies. The successful candidate will support projects related to brain networks dynamics after stroke and during the processes of recovery. The lab uses several cutting-edge technologies to track and manipulate specific neuronal circuits, including in vivo multi-photon microscopy, optogenetics, and rodent behavioral testing. Supervisor: Dr. Shahrzad Latifi
