six (6) tenure track positions at the rank of Assistant Professor broadly
focused on the topic of “Neuroplasticity Across the Lifespan.” This cluster of
new hires will join a vibrant neuroscience research community as we continue to
expand our institutional priority areas of research on the Mind & Brain and
Aging and Age-Related Diseases. This is the inaugural class of cluster hires as
GUMC seeks to expand its ranks of tenure-line faculty.</span></p>

ability of the nervous system and essential for its normal function. It occurs
at the molecular level (e.g. genome and proteome), the level of the cell (e.g.,
changes in excitability and receptor signaling), the circuit (e.g., changes in
connections), and at the systems and cognitive level (e.g., learning,
development, memory, recovery and reorganization after injury). There are few,
if any, processes more fundamental to the mind and brain than the remarkable
ability to change and adapt.</span></p>
