Current interests include: mechanism and treatment of chronic pain; metabolic and inflammatory mechanisms and disease; receptors and signal transduction; and biomaterials, development and regenerative biology. For more information see the departmental website:

The Department wishes to recruit highly creative scientists who will lead and maintain cutting-edge and extramurally funded research programs that will complement and synergize with current research activities in the Department of Molecular Pathobiology. The ideal candidates will interact with faculty of NYU Dentistry, NYU Langone School of Medicine, NYU Tandon School of Engineering, as well as foster collaborations with the greater NYU and New York research communities.

Successful candidates will receive a competitive start-up package. In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for the rank of Assistant Professor on the tenure track is $140K - $210K & for the rank of Associate Professor on the tenure track is $135K - $225K.
