NBB Assistant Professor Search

UCI invites applications for a full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor position to join the faculty of the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of California, Irvine.

Ideal applicants will employ addiction-relevant behavioral models in rodents or other model organisms and will conduct research that integrates cutting edge neuroscience techniques and conceptually innovative approaches to better understand the biological bases of addiction and related disorders. Additional research interests may include the intersection of social environment with drug use and/or comorbidity of drug use with other disorders/disease states, such as psychiatric conditions, metabolic disorders, or infectious disease.
