Open-Rank Faculty Cluster Hire in Depression Research
Researcher Job In Irvine, CA
The University of California Irvine announces an interdisciplinary cluster hire of up to three faculty members in conjunction with the launch of the Noel Drury, M.D. Institute for Translational Depression Discoveries. The vision for the Depression Institute is to transform our understanding of depression's origins, treatment, and prevention, while enhancing societal-well being. Its mission will be to create a vibrant, inclusive, and interdisciplinary community of scientists and clinicians devoted to (1) fundamentally improving our understanding, treatment and prevention of depression, (2) training the next generation of depression scientists and clinicians, and (3) improving the life of individuals with lived experiences.
The UCI Depression Institute will initially span three schools - the School of Medicine, the Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences, and the Samueli School of Engineering. It is envisioned that such confluence of expertise and methodological approaches will foster a bench-to-bedside integration that will be essential for achieving much-needed breakthroughs in understanding, treating. and preventing depression.
