Job Description

The Department of Psychology at the University of California, Riverside, invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in Behavioral Neuroscience beginning July 1, 2025. We seek applicants who investigate the neurobiology of behavior. Applicants focused on circuit plasticity or complex function within the cerebral cortex using advanced molecular, cellular, computational, and/or neurophysiological methodologies are especially encouraged to apply. An interest in computational neuroscience approaches is also desirable.

Applicants should be committed to excellence in undergraduate and graduate education and interested in teaching courses in brain sciences, research methodology, data analysis, and/or computational neuroscience approaches at the undergraduate and graduate levels. A Ph.D. in psychology, neuroscience, or a related discipline is required at the time of appointment; July 1, 2025. Relevant postdoctoral experience and significant publications are expected.

Complete applications must include: a cover letter of interest, an updated CV, a statement of research, a statement of past and/or planned future contributions to advancing diversity and inclusive excellence, a statement of teaching philosophy, up to 3 reprints or preprints, and 3 letters of recommendation.

Review of applications will begin on December 20, 2024 and will continue until the position has been filled. Applications received by December 20 will receive full consideration.

The posted UC salary scales set the minimum pay determined by rank and/or step at appointment. See Table(s): . Salary ranges for this position are: Associate Professor $78,200 -$101,400. "Off-scale salaries" and other components of pay, i.e., a salary that is higher than the published system-wide salary at the designated rank and step, are offered when necessary to meet competitive conditions.

Applicants who use Interfolio may utilize a feature provided by the Interfolio Service to allow Interfolio to upload their letters directly into AP Recruit. Applicants can input an Interfolio-generated email address in place of their letter writer's email address. Interfolio refers to this as Online Application Deliveries. The following link on the Interfolio website shows how to set this up ().

The University of California values salary transparency and reports salaries annually in the UC Annual Wage Database. Advancement through the faculty ranks at the University of California is through a series of structured, merit-based evaluations, occurring every 2-3 years, each of which includes substantial peer input.

The Department of Psychology is committed to addressing systemic and institutional barriers faced by underrepresented scholars and researchers. We strongly encourage applicants who represent and/or conduct research in ethnic and racial communities that remain severely underrepresented in psychological science (e.g., Black/African/African American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islanders) to apply.
