Positions

The Department of Neuroscience at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis is currently recruiting investigators with the passion to create knowledge, pursue bold visions, and challenge canonical thinking as we expand into our new 600,000 square-foot neuroscience research building.

We are now seeking a tenure-track investigator at the level of Assistant Professor to develop an innovative research program in Theoretical/Computational Neuroscience.

The Department of Neuroscience Fellow to Faculty Program at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis rewards outstanding early career researchers in neuroscience with the opportunity to create an independent research agenda in anticipation of joining the Department of Neuroscience as an Assistant Professor on the tenure track.

The Oviedo lab is conducting groundbreaking research on the development of the brain’s communication centers and how they are impacted by neuropsychiatric disorders.

This individual will work in the Cavalli Lab on projects aimed at understanding the multicellular mechanisms regulating peripheral sensory neuron function and dysfunction in injury and disease, in small animal and human model systems.

The Hiratani Laboratory seeks to uncover the fundamental principles underlying learning and computation in the brain from the interface between the brain and artificial intelligence.

The successful applicant will design, build, and characterize innovative optical instruments for fluorescence microscopy applications in Dr. Yao Chen’s laboratory.

The laboratory of Dr. Valeria Cavalli is seeking passionate scientists to join their team and contribute to our NIH-funded research projects on the multicellular mechanisms promoting axon regeneration in mouse and human models.
