New Research Faculty Positions at MRI!

McLaughlin Research Institute

The McLaughlin Research Institute in Great Falls, Montana, invites applications for two faculty positions in mammalian biology, genetics and/or neuroscience; one is open-rank and the other is for an assistant professor.  We seek individuals who can take advantage of the Institute 's strengths and address important fundamental mechanisms in neurobiology, neurological, psychiatric diseases, or related areas. We are undergoing a time of expansion built on a foundation of pre-clinical animal models of neurological and neurodegenerative disease. Applicants with an interest in basic, translational, clinical, and/or computational approaches to solving complex human health problems are encouraged to apply. Candidates should possess a medical or doctoral degree and have a record of research excellence. Successful candidates are expected to develop a productive research program that can compete successfully for grant funding. Willingness and ability to establish both intramural and extramural collaborations is essential.

The McLaughlin Research Institute provides a novel environment for scientific studies.  Great Falls is a small city on the Missouri River located near Montana’s Rocky Mountain front, approximately 125 miles from Glacier National Park and 225 miles from Yellowstone National Park.  The city provides a high quality of life with abundant outdoor opportunities.  Faculty benefit from interactions with the Scientific Advisory Committee, the university system of Montana and the support of local organizations.  Great Falls will soon also be home to the Touro College of Montana for medical training.  For specific questions about the Institute, please contact Mike Kavanaugh, Deb Cabin, Teresa Gunn, Tiffany Hensley-McBain or Renee Reijo Pera. 

This is a unique opportunity to join us and take part in building the future of biomedical research in Montana. 

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis as they are received.  Applications should include a curriculum vitae and description of research and be sent to:
