Glial:Neuronal interaction position (open search). The Department of Cell Biology & Neuroscience (http://cbns.ucr.edu/) at the University of California, Riverside, is strengthening its faculty in the area of glial-neuronal interactions, and plans hiring a cluster of several new faculty with primary research interests in this area over the next two years. A new laboratory building, the Biological Sciences Building now under construction, will be available in early/mid 2006 to house these new faculty as well as most of those in the current department. In this initial search for one position, we are inviting applicants at all ranks from assistant professor to professor who have primary research interests in interactions between glia and neurons. It is expected that this hire would become an integral member of the Center for Glial'Neuronal Interactions at UC Riverside, and participate in the ongoing Health Sciences initiative (including stem cell initiatives) on the campus. Additionally, this person could further strengthen our links with the Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering. Opportunities for graduate student training are available through participation in several interdepartmental graduate programs, including the Neuroscience Program (http://neuro.ucr.edu/) and the Cellular, Molecular and Developmental Biology Program (http://www.cell.ucr.edu/). Other teaching responsibilities would be at the undergraduate level. Send applications, including Curriculum Vitae and complete contact information for at least three references
to: Chair, GNI Search Committee, Department of Cell Biology & Neuroscience at the University of California, Riverside, CA 92521 USA. Review of applications will begin July 1, 2005 and will continue until the position is filled. The University of California is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
