Summary:
The Department of Exercise and Sport Science invites applications for an outstanding 9-month tenured Associate or Full Professor faculty member to deepen and expand research in concussion, mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), and/or neurodegeneration, while teaching in areas related to exercise and sport science.
We aspire to recruit faculty engaged in innovative and highly impactful work that will diversify and enhance our research, teaching, and public outreach missions, and who can translate this research to teach undergraduate and graduate level courses in neuroscience, neurotrauma, neuroepidemiology, and/or sports medicine.
