Adjoint Associate Professor - 39614 Faculty
The Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine invites applications for an adjoint faculty position at the level of Adjoint Associate Professor (0.1 FTE). We seek outstanding individuals with research programs that utilize quantitative and/or computational approaches (e.g., biophysical, electrophysiological, imaging, systems neuroscience, or machine learning-based methods) to study the mechanistic regulation of physiological systems.Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, neural circuit dynamics, sensorimotor systems, neuroengineering, and computational modeling of biological systems. Successful applicants are expected to maintain an externally funded research program and contribute to graduate and professional teaching within the Department.:
This 0.1 FTE role includes a limited on-campus presence commensurate with appointment effort, with flexibility for remote work as appropriate.
Appointees will join a vibrant and growing Department (www.medschool.ucdenver.edu/physiology (https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=7078295&targetURL=http://www.medschool.ucdenver.edu/physiology) ), under the leadership of Dr. David DiGregorio, with a commitment to mentoring faculty and trainees from all backgrounds. Research interests in the Department currently include cardiac and skeletal muscle physiology, ion channel biophysics, molecular physiology, cell signaling, sensory and motor systems, and synaptic function. Extra-departmental interactions within molecular biophysics, neuroscience and physiology, including basic science and translational collaborations, are facilitated by several NIH-supported interdepartmental graduate programs and centers (e.g., Neuroscience Program, Pharmacology program, Structural Biology and Biochemistry program). Other shared resources include cores for biophysics and molecular interactions, molecular structure, electron microscopy, genomics, proteomics, and transgenic rodents. The Department is particularly interested in expanding strengths in computational and systems neuroscience, quantitative biology, and interdisciplinary research at the interface of biology, engineering, and data science.
