Successful candidates will have a faculty appointment in Biology, Psychology, Neuroscience and Experimental Therapeutics, or Engineering, based upon their research approach and background. Faculty will also be affiliated with the Texas A&M Institute for Neuroscience and will be recognized as TIRR Foundation Fellows. Candidates must have a Ph.D. or M.D., a record of outstanding achievement as evidenced by publications in the area of SCI, and a promising (assistant professor) or externally funded (associate, full professor) research program. Undergraduate, graduate and/or professional teaching requirements will depend on policies of the department of hire.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research and teaching statements, the names of three potential referees, and selected reprints/preprints, all as a single PDF file to Chair, Spinal Cord Injury Search Committee, at Chair@tamin.tamu.edu. Applicants should also arrange to have three letters of recommendation forwarded to this e-mail address.
