As all Belmont undergraduates complete an innovative general education program with significant interdisciplinary components, Belmont University is particularly seeking applicants who can demonstrate the interest and ability to work collaboratively in course design and to teach interdisciplinary and topical courses in this program.

This position will eventually lead to leadership opportunities as neuroscience program director. The exact experimental neuroscience focus for this position is open, as well as the model used (human, rodent, computational, etc.). There is strong interest in individuals with a background in cellular and/or molecular techniques, as well as those with computational and modeling techniques in the neurosciences.
