The Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology Program (http://catalog.college.emory.edu/department-program/index.php?YToxOntzOjI6ImlkIjtzOjI6IjQ0Ijt9) is an interdepartmental undergraduate program representing a unique interdisciplinary synthesis of the fields of neuroscience and behavior. The program’s success comes from the expertise, enthusiasm, and commitment of 8 core faculty, six of them lecture-track, and supported by a larger community of 54 faculty in associated departments and programs across the University. The NBB program faculty are committed to creating a respectful community of educators and scholars and seek colleagues who are willing to nurture and support growth of students of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, and those who identify as LGBTQ+. This search is part of a multi-year Emory initiative to foster equity (https://equityandinclusion.emory.edu/_includes/documents/sections/homepage/odei_2020_midyear_report.pdf) and to promote the success of our diverse student population.

A new faculty member will teach 1-2 required NBB courses (https://www.nbb.emory.edu/academics/course-descriptions/Core%20Courses.html) and 2-3 other courses that positively contribute to the NBB curriculum. Applicants with demonstrated effectiveness in teaching diverse students, engaging their critical thinking, and in applying innovative instructional techniques are of particular interest.
