Assistant Professor/Associate Professor of Nursing, Neuroscience Focus

As a teacher and scholar, the successful candidate will shape and advance the understanding of brain function across the lifespan through the integration of neuroscience research into clinical practice, education, and/or health policy.

The faculty member will play an important part in collaboratively strengthening and expanding our research infrastructure within the School of Nursing and broader University of Virginia community.

University of Virginia's 2030 plan recognizes Brain and Neuroscience as a major societal challenge and an opportunity that draws on its existing strength. In partnership, the Provost and the Deans of various schools are making multiple, coordinated faculty recruitments to strengthen the community of neuroscientists across the University. Recruits will receive support from the Provost and their School Dean and join the Brain Institute activities. This is part of a major Grand Challenges research investment of over $75M in the Brain and Neuroscience.
