San Antonio, TX
Position Information
Brain Health and Trauma Research Cluster Hire
The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), College of Science (COS), College for Health, Community and Policy (HCAP), Klesse College of Engineering and Integrated Design (KCEID), and College of Education and Human Development (COEHD) invite applications for five Associate or Full Professors to contribute to a Brain Health and Trauma Research cluster hiring initiative to begin in the fall semester of academic year 2025-26. The goal of this cluster hire is to bring together experts from a wide-range of disciplines to conduct innovative, cross-cutting research that explores the complex effects of neurodevelopmental conditions or traumatic stress on brain function and behavior. Areas of focus include conditions affecting the nervous system, ranging from neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism, intellectual disabilities, etc.) to late-life neurodegeneration. The focus also extends to the impact of psychological and physical trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD], traumatic brain injury [TBI], and bodily injury, whether these occur alone or in combination. As such, the goal of this cluster is to foster transdisciplinary collaboration that could yield highly innovative insights into these complex issues. Our envisioned faculty positions will bridge basic and translational/clinical research, offering comprehensive resources to address the entire care continuum from prevention to long-term care.
