The Department of Pharmacological Science at Stony Brook University seeks applications for two tenure-track faculty positions. Candidates must have an MD and/or Ph.D., at least three years of postgraduate research experience, and an outstanding record of research accomplishment. We seek to recruit an investigator at the level of Assistant Professor who will conduct research in drug discovery, chemical biology (medicinal chemistry), cancer, neuropharmacology, infectious diseases, aging, or signal transduction. Established candidates are expected to have a history of success with extramural funding and training of students and/or fellows. Stony Brook University and the Department of Pharmacological Sciences have a strong track record of supporting dual careers and promoting junior faculty. Outstanding support will be provided, including competitive salary and start-up support, junior faculty mentoring, numerous core facilities and a strongly collegial and collaborative departmental and interdepartmental research environment across the campus, which encompasses both the medical and non-medical schools.

The Department has four pre-doctoral and MSTP NIH training grants and a long tradition of high-quality training, a broad infrastructure for research investigation, and renovated lab space in the core department, in the Chemistry building, and in the Centers for Molecular Medicine. Research space may also be available in our Cancer Center. Diverse opportunities for collaborative research on campus include the Cancer Center, the Laufer Center for Physical and Quantitative Biology, the Centers for Molecular Medicine, the Institute for Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery, and the interactive Computer Science and Applied Mathematics Departments.
