Position Summary

The Michigan State University Board of Trustees approved in 2014 the Academic Competitiveness Fund (ACF) to provide resources for hiring tenure system faculty who will enhance the national and international excellence and competitiveness of MSU as a research university. From this resource, the Global Impact Initiative (GII) was launched, with the goal of recruiting 100 new faculty in some of the most exciting new areas of research. Entering its second phase in 2022, the GII is now seeking investigators for positions aligned with key areas of research outlined in the University's 2030 Strategic Plan.

The ideal candidate is a funded investigator focused on developmental intellectual disabilities, with expertise using current state-of-the-art approaches to assess brain function in experimental mouse models, including in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology and imaging, optogenetics, chemogenetics, fiber photometry, and miniscope in vivo imaging, all simultaneous with behavioral assessments. This investigator will be a key component of the team of developmental neuroscientists led by Dr. Lucas Pozzo-Miller (Mall Family Endowed Professor for Genetic Autism Research). Other members of the team include: Drs. Dan Campbell, Daniel Vogt, Michael Williams, Jeff MacKeigan, and Barbara Thompson.

The successful candidate will collaborate with physicians based at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital (HDVCH) in Grand Rapids, and will work closely with Dr. Pozzo-Miller to foster the expansion of neuroscience research with HDVCH. The successful candidate will also support and augment the planned MSU Center for Developmental Neuroscience, which will connect researchers focused on developmental intellectual disabilities in Grand Rapids and East Lansing.
