About the PositionWe are seeking a neuroscientist with demonstrated excellence in research on cerebral function across the life span, in humans and/or nonhuman animals, with a systems-level approach, utilizing state-of-the-art imaging methods, especially MRI or in vivo optical imaging.

Key ResponsibilitiesThe successful applicant will have a Ph.D. in Neuroscience or a cognate field and will be able to instruct undergraduate and graduate courses in neuroscience. We seek outstanding candidates with the capability to engage and inspire undergraduate and graduate students in their academic work, and who will show initiative in contributing to the department's programs and curriculum development. The successful applicant will be expected to establish and maintain an independent, active, and externally funded research program.

Our TeamWe are a research-intensive group, which focuses on fundamental problems in the neurobiology of cerebral functioning. The successful applicant will develop a research program focusing on mechanisms underlying normal or disordered complex processes, including memory, perception, movement, action, social behaviour, emotion, and/or neurodevelopment in nonhuman animals and/or humans.

Work EnvironmentThe successful applicant will work in a world-class research facility equipped with cutting-edge technology, including NMRs, 3T MRI, electron microscope, multiphoton and confocal microscopes, high throughput digital imaging, in vitro recording facilities, multiple in vivo ensemble single unit recording suites, dense-array and portable electroencephalography, optical imaging lab, dedicated parallel computing cluster, and numerous state-of-the-art surgical and behavioural testing suites in a newly constructed vivarium.

About Our UniversityThe University of Lethbridge is a comprehensive and research-intensive university founded on the values of inspired scholars integrating research and creative activity with teaching. Our University's Blackfoot name is Iniskim, meaning Sacred Buffalo Stone. Founded in 1967 on traditional Blackfoot land, it is a place where student engagement in learning, creative activities, and research takes place every day. With campuses in Lethbridge and Calgary, we offer more than 150 undergraduate and 60 graduate programs in the Faculties of Arts & Science, Education, Fine Arts, Health Sciences, the Schools of Liberal Education and Graduate Studies, and the Dhillon School of Business. Together, these programs serve more than 8,500 students.

Our ValuesWe recognize that diversity enriches our campus and our community and is fundamental to excellence in teaching, learning, and research. We embrace equity as a core value to be truly inclusive of the communities of which we are a part, and this requires ongoing intentional and systemic action. Through recruitment and support of individuals who further enhance our diversity, we strive to create a diverse and inclusive community where students, faculty and staff feel welcome, are treated equitably, and can thrive.

About Our CityLethbridge is a culturally vibrant city with a flourishing arts scene and an active social calendar. We boast stunning scenery, four distinct seasons, spectacular sunrises and glowing sunsets that illuminate Alberta's big sky. It is only two hours from Calgary's International Airport and a short drive to both Waterton Lakes National Park and the United States border.

Application ProcessAll applications must be submitted online, and include a letter of application, a curriculum-vitae, a statement of teaching interests and philosophy, outlines of courses previously taught, a statement of research program, teaching evaluations, and the contact information for three references (references will be contacted directly for short-listed candidates). Applications received by November 30, 2024 will receive priority attention, but the position will remain open until filled.

EEO StatementAll applicants will be considered, but in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given preference. We understand that career interruptions can have an impact on a candidate's record of achievement, and we encourage applicants to explain in their applications any impact that career interruptions have had on their record.
