Successful candidates should have a research program synergistic with the existing strengths in the department and in the greater Atlanta community. Applications focused on preclinical brain imaging are particularly desirable but other areas of application will also be fully considered.
Candidates must apply online and attached all required doctuments; hold a doctoral degree (PhD, MD, or equivalent) in engineering, medicine, applied mathematics, computer science, or the natural sciences. Successful candidates will be expected to develop a vibrant externally-funded research program and to participate in teaching and advising undergraduate and graduate students.

We are aware that attracting faculty may require meeting the needs of two careers. We strive to create and maintain an environment that values and respects our individual and communal differences, and to support a healthy work-life balance.
Applications will be considered starting immediately on a rolling basis.
