FACULTY POSITIONS, NEUROBIOLOGY OF DISEASE

The Vollum Institute and the Department of Neurology at Oregon Health and Science University announce the establishment of the Jungers Center. The center will be devoted to basic investigation of the causes and treatments of neural injury and neurodegeneneration as well as mechanisms of neural repair and regeneration that are relevant to human disease. Laboratory space is available in the new Basic Research Building that will open in January 2006. The BRB sits on a hill overlooking Portland and is directly connected to laboratories in the Vollum Institute and the School of Medicine and within the same building as the Advanced Imaging Center and the Stem Cell Center. Positions are available for outstanding junior and senior investigators. It is expected that faculty will hold appointments in the Vollum Institute and the Department of Neurology. The Department of Neurology has clinical and investigative centers in Alzheimer’s disease, movement disorders, stroke, and multiple sclerosis. Appointments will be fulltime research positions with no teaching or clinical requirements. Ample opportunities are available for collaboration with clinical units within the School of Medicine as well as research units at OHSU. See the OHSU website for further information on any of these units. OHSU is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
