Psychiatry Assistant Professor (Tenure Track)

The University of Wisconsin Department of Psychiatry in Madison, WI, is seeking to recruit a new tenure-track faculty member at the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor level.

The Department of Psychiatry has identified stress and resilience, sleep and plasticity, and brain development as critical areas in which to promote research that will bring major advances to current knowledge about the origins and early phases of many mental health disorders. 

Research can be at any level including areas relevant to genetics, molecular, neurocircuit based approaches, or psychopharmacology. The UW Department of Psychiatry, along with the Health Emotions Research Institute (HERI), has strong research programs with outstanding facilities including a 3T MRI housed in the Lane Neuroimaging Laboratory and the Wisconsin Institute for Sleep and Consciousness, both located in the Department. UWSMPH along with the entire UW is a leader in translational biomedical research and offers many opportunities for collaboration with other departments.

Key university resources to support research in mental health disorders include the Health Emotions Research Institute (HERI), a world-class center with state-of-the-art capabilities for highfield, high-resolution imaging (Lane Neuroimaging Laboratory); the UW National Primate Center and strong collaborative relationships with faculty in world-renowned research departments and centers such as the Waisman Center; Wisconsin Institute for Sleep and Consciousness, the Departments of Psychology, Neuroscience, Pediatrics, and Computer Sciences and Engineering; and the Center for Healthy Minds at UW.

The successful applicant will also participate in administrative and committee work to support the clinical and scholarly missions of UW Health and the School of Medicine and Public Health. An essential part of these duties will be working in a collegial relationship with other faculty members.
