Faculty Positions in Neuroscience

The Ohio State University (OSU), Wexner Medical Center

The Department of Neuroscience invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions at the rank of Assistant, Associate or Full Professor.

As part of an ongoing commitment to place OSU at the forefront of research, innovation and patient care, The College of Medicine is committing significant resources to build cutting-edge and internationally recognized basic and translational neuroscience programs. We have a goal that the Department of Neuroscience will become a Top 10 nationally-ranked department within 5 years.

Applicants who study the mechanisms underlying normal nervous system function and/or how these mechanisms and interactions are affected by disease or injury are encouraged to apply. Candidates with a research focus or technical expertise involving aging, interoception, brain-gut interactions, gene therapy/gene editing, functional in-vivo brain circuit mapping and connectomics, neuroengineering (brain-computer interface, neuromodulation), whole brain imaging, computational neuroscience, big data modeling, machine learning and artificial intelligence, will be prioritized.

Newly recruited faculty will have the opportunity to be part of a rapidly growing research community focused on neural plasticity, neuroimmunology, neurodegeneration/cognitive impairment, epilepsy and behavior.

Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent and at least 3 years postdoctoral experience with a strong record of scholarly activity. Candidates for appointment as Associate or Full Professors should also be nationally or internationally recognized scholars with consistent externally funded research programs.

Prospective candidates should apply here and ensure they include a cover letter (with desired rank), a research statement that outlines past accomplishments and future plans (up to 3 pages), updated vita and a list of three references. Applications are being accepted now and formal review will begin October 17, 2025. The search will remain open until all positions are filled.

The university is an equal opportunity employer, including veterans and disability.
