Full Professor of Nursing, Neuroscience Focus

The University of Virginia's School of Nursing seeks a qualified researcher with a neuroscience focus (including research related to Alzheimer's, autism, or other brain research) who would be eligible for the rank of full professor in a tenured line, with an anticipated start date as early as January 2024.

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. This position will be a leader in contributing to the school's strategic priorities, which include building the Areas of Excellence in research (~~~/) and our commitments to interdisciplinary collaboration as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion. 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.

The UVA School of Nursing is deeply committed to developing a community that is inclusive and respectful: we consider diversity to be a key part of our excellence. We seek applicants whose experience, teaching, research, and/or community service has prepared them to substantially contribute to this mission. We welcome all applicants, including individuals from groups that have been historically underrepresented in nursing (racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ individuals, veterans, people with disabilities, and men).

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. (~~~)

Candidates must be eligible for licensure to practice nursing in Virginia, hold a doctorate in nursing or a related field, and be eligible for the rank of full professor. The committee will consider candidates who would be tenured and who possess a progressive and successful track record of neuroscience research.
