Assistant Professor

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Position Information

The Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill invites applications for two tenure-track positions at the Assistant Professor level in the field of Behavioral and Integrative Neuroscience, with appointments to begin July 2027. We seek outstanding candidates in each of the following areas: (1) Human Neuroscience of Substance Use Disorders. We seek candidates conducting human-subjects research focused on the neural mechanisms of substance use disorders. Relevant research may address risk factors, development, maintenance, recovery, and treatment. Relevant approaches may include neuroimaging, computational modeling, functional neural network analyses, fNIRS, EEG/ERP, noninvasive brain stimulation, machine learning approaches or other related methodologies that provide mechanistic insight to advance our understanding of substance use disorders. (2) Pre-Clinical Neuroscience of Substance Use Disorders. We seek candidates investigating the neural and cellular mechanisms underlying substance use disorders using pre-clinical animal models. Relevant approaches include, but are not limited to, circuit, cellular, molecular, and systems neuroscience approaches, as well as the integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, computational methods, New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), human iPSC-derived neural systems or organoids, and advanced behavioral and physiological analyses. Successful applicants will join the Behavioral and Integrative Neuroscience program within the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, which has longstanding strengths in the neurobiology of reward, addiction, and motivated behavior and a collaborative research environment including the UNC Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies, the UNC Neuroscience Center, the Biomedical Research Imaging Center, the School of Medicine, and other programs across campus. Candidates who leverage innovative computational, methodological and quantitative, approaches to address questions related to alcohol and substance use disorders are especially encouraged to apply.
