This position will provide the candidate with access to an incredibly collaborative interdisciplinary research environment within the University, access to state of the art facilities and resources, and Department support.

• Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree in a relevant field (e.g., physiology, pharmacology, neuroscience, pain research).
• Demonstrated track record of high-quality research in pain, anesthesiology or related fields.
• Strong publication record in high impact peer-reviewed journals.
• Ability to secure external funding (e.g., NIH grants).
