Assistant Professor

We seek a collaborative colleague whose research program is focused on fundamental mechanistic processes related to cardiac physiology, cell physiology/ mechanics, and/or molecular neurophysiology. Careful but not exclusive consideration will be given to applicants who use non-traditional models alongside innovative biophysical, ‘omics, and live imaging approaches to address fundamental knowledge gaps. Departmental strengths include faculty engaged in cardiovascular
science, ion channel physiology, molecular motors, cellular biophysics, calcium signaling, nuclear steroid receptors, RNA biology, and aging research. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to engage with collaborative translational research groups within Loyola’s Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI).

Additional information on the department and cross-departmental research areas, resources, and facilities are described here:

Candidates must have a doctoral degree and postdoctoral experience with strong publication records. The faculty applicant will be expected to sustain an independent, externally-funded research program and contribute to graduate and medical
education.

Please submit all applications at Loyola Careers portal (job #8550068) and note that references will not be contacted without applicant’s approval. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled, but we encourage early submissions as reviews will occur on a rolling basis.

Applications should include a cover letter describing your interest and programmatic fit with the position (1 page), CV (3 pages) and research statement (3 pages, excluding references) as a single PDF. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
