The Saint Louis University Department of Pharmacology & Physiology invites applications for a tenure-track Associate Professor position. This recruitment is part of a strategic faculty recruitment initiative designed to build on the Departments established strengths and expand critical mass in areas of research excellence. We seek an outstanding, established investigator with a highly productive and well-funded research program whose work will complement and extend the Departments strengths in…
mechanistic, translational and therapeutic biomedical research. Areas of particular strength include chronic pain, neurological disorders, and metabolic and gastrointestinal disorders, supported by broad expertise in pharmacology, drug discovery and translational science. These areas are intended to be illustrative rather than restrictive; priority will be given to scientific excellence, research impact, and the potential for strong synergy and collaboration with existing faculty. The successful candidate will join a highly collaborative research environment and will benefit from a competitive research startup package, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration across Saint Louis University. Faculty may engage with collaborative centers and institutes including the SLU Institute for Translational Neuroscience, SLU Institute for Drug and Biotherapeutic Innovation, SLU Vaccine Center and Liver Center, as well as the Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences and Hope Center for Neurological Disorders at Washington University. The St. Louis region also offers a growing biomedical and biotechnology ecosystem, including the Cortex Innovation Community and multiple organizations supporting scientific innovation and commercialization.
