5 FACULTY POSITIONS AT THE BRAIN RESEARCH CENTRE

The Brain Research Centre of UBC and the Vancouver Coastal Health
Authority is embarking on a major expansion of its programs, based on
recent successes in attracting substantial infrastructure funding. 
We have available 5 full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty positions,
at both senior and junior levels, across a broad spectrum of areas in
Neuroscience. Three of these positions will be Canada Research Chairs in
association with the University’s “Neuroscience Cluster” in the Faculty
of Medicine. These prestigious positions are funded through a federal
government program, with access to research support appropriate to the
programs and goals.  For more information about this programme,

The other two positions will be supported through our endowment
fundraising initiatives.   

Applications are invited in the areas of Stroke, Mood Disorders,
Neuroprotection, Neurodegenerative Disorders, Postnatal
Brain Development, Neuronal Plasticity, Synaptic
Mechanisms, and Cell Signaling.  The Centre specifically
encourages individuals using brain imaging and/or
genomic/proteomic strategies to apply.

The University of British Columbia hires on the basis of merit and it is
committed to employment equity. We encourage all qualified persons to
apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents of Canada will be given
priority.  Please note that there is no restriction with regard to
nationality or residence for Canada Research Chair positions, and such
positions are open to all candidates.  These offers will be made in
keeping with immigration requirements associated with the Canada Research
Chairs program.  

The expected start date for these appointments is July
1st, 2003 or July 1, 2004.  Salary
