1. The Department of Psychology at Tufts University invites applications for a full-time faculty position in behavioral neuroscience at the Assistant Professor (tenure-track) level to begin September 1, 2027. We seek a scientist whose research program focuses on mechanistic explanations of brain–behavior relationships relevant to mental and brain health. Area of specialization is open, with preference for researchers working on systems- and circuit-based approaches, developmental or experience-dependent plasticity, and/or translationally relevant models of psychopathology (e.g., anxiety, stress-related disorders, addiction, or other mental health conditions). Research programs that complement and bridge directly to existing departmental strengths are especially encouraged. Expertise in advanced neurobiological and quantitative methods—such as electrophysiology, in vivo optogenetics and single-cell imaging, neuropharmacology, genomics or epigenomics, or computational and AI-based modeling of neural–behavioral data—is welcome.
