Faculty positions
Scripps Florida is seeking outstanding applicants for tenure track faculty positions in the Department of Neuroscience at its newly opened, state-of-the-art campus in Jupiter, Florida. The Jupiter campus of the Scripps Research Institute offers a rapidly growing, dynamic environment and is committed to provide a multi-disciplinary, collaborative atmosphere for fostering cutting edge neuroscience research. We invite applications from ambitious and interactive investigators applying integrative molecular, genetic, biochemical, biophysical, cellular (iPSC), anatomical, and behavioral approaches to elucidate the mechanisms underlying nervous system function. In addition to basic neuroscience, we have a keen interest in human neuropsychiatric disorders and/or animal models for these disorders. Areas of interest include learning and memory, sleep research, synapse formation and physiology, and drug discovery for CNS disorders. The state-of-the-art facilities at Scripps Florida house expertise in proteomics, crystallography, pharmacokinetics, medicinal chemistry, rodent behavior, and ultra high-throughput small molecule screening for drug discovery.
Appointments are available at Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. Scripps Florida offers exceptional startup packages and an outstanding intellectual environment for fostering top-tier basic and translational research. Interested candidates should submit their Curriculum Vitae, a synopsis of their past, current, and proposed research, and complete contact information for at least three professional references as a single PDF file, to:
