Overview of the post The Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics (DPAG), and St Hilda’s College are seeking to appoint a full-time Associate Professor of Neuroscience, to commence employment as soon as possible. This is a joint appointment: the successful candidate will be a member of DPAG as well as a Tutorial Fellow at St Hilda’s College. The role will involve undertaking independent research, undergraduate and graduate teaching, and graduate supervision. It will also encompass administrative and pastoral duties for the department and college. The department is seeking to recruit in the field of Neuroscience with a particular focus on the neurobiology of disease or fundamental cellular and systems neuroscience. The research interests of the successful candidate will complement existing research underway at the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery (https://kavlinano.ox.ac.uk) and Centre for Integrative Neuroscience in the department (https://www.dpag.ox.ac.uk/centres/centre-for-integrative-neuroscience). While we do not wish to limit the candidates that we attract to a particular subject area within the field of the neurobiology of degeneration or related research, the fit of candidates to the research profile of the Department and the opportunities for such synergies will be an important selection criterion. We therefore anticipate that the new appointment will be in an area of molecular and cellular neuroscience of disease or cellular and integrative neuroscience. Neurobiology of disease is the focus of several current research groups in DPAG (Wade-Martins, Cragg), in the Kavli Institute (Carlyle, Fernandes, Lang, Ryan, Salman), and in adjacent Departments (Magill, Talbot, Becker). Understanding the molecular basis of neurological and neurodegenerative diseases are currently among the major research challenges recognised by both the Medical Research Council and several major research charities (Parkinson’s UK, Alzheimer’s Research UK, Alzheimer’s Society, Motor Neuron Disease Association amongst others). Cell signalling and brain function in vitro and in vivo, is the focus of several current research groups in the Sherrington Building (King, Molnár, Cragg, Bruno, Butt, Domingos, Walker, Mann, Packer, Lak, Peters). An integrated systems approach to neuroscience is one of the BBSRC’s research priorities as is integration of basic science into translational outcomes a priority for the Medical Research Council. For the Wellcome Trust there is a strong component of discovery science in their funding portfolio. The successful candidate will occupy high quality space in the Sherrington Building, the home of the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (Director: Professor A King FRS) working closely with groups in the Kavli Institute. They will receive financial assistance in setting up new research activities and be encouraged to bid for University research support funds. The department has a research administration team to help in identifying and applying for grants.
