Virginia Tech invites applications by interested faculty candidates to join the planned School for Neuroscience. Prospective faculty members must show a sincere interest in teaching undergraduates and be prepared to develop innovative courses. Successful candidates will establish a competitive research program that can attract extramural funding from a wide variety of funding agencies and are expected to show a desire to include undergraduates as an integral part of their research program. With over 6000 graduate students, VT also offers graduate programs in many Neuroscience-related disciplines, for example the translational biology, medicine and heath program (TBMH), and prospective faculty members can draw from an excellent pool of graduate students to support their research program. The new School of Neuroscience will also be affiliated with the VT Carilion Research Institute (VTCRI) in Roanoke, through which prospective faculty members will have access to unique programs and facilities including high resolution single and multi-photon confocal and functional neuroimaging.
