ASSISTANT / ASSOCIATE / FULL PROFESSOR
Adaptive Brain and Behavior Cluster

Virginia Tech is strategically investing in hiring innovative faculty to advance its vision to grow beyond boundaries as a premier 21st-century global land-grant institution through our Destination Areas initiative. As interconnected areas of strength, Destination Areas facilitate faculty collaborations that bridge disciplines to create innovative and transformative solutions to global issues, while positioning Virginia Tech as a premier destination for talent that seeks to advance the human condition. Through committed university efforts such as AdvanceVT and InclusiveVT (inclusive.vt.edu), the university continues to build institutional and individual commitment to its motto of Ut Prosim (That I May Serve) in the spirit of community, diversity, and excellence.

In support of these strategic initiatives, Virginia Tech is recruiting to build a robust and diverse cluster of faculty interested in contributing to transdisciplinary research, teaching, and/or outreach initiatives that align with our Adaptive Brain and Behavior Destination Area, with particular interest in scholars whose work will help build understanding of the brain-behavior relationship in health and the human condition to enhance resilience and well-being in the world’s diverse communities. With commitments in this area from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences, College of Science, College of Veterinary Medicine, and the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute, the university is specifically seeking faculty interested in the transdisciplinary study of brain plasticity particularly as it pertains to decision-making, physical and psychological trauma, and healthy development across the lifespan. Faculty with expertise in disciplinary areas such as Neuroscience, Psychology, Chemistry, Child and Adolescent Development, Marriage and Family Therapy, Physiology, Biomedical Science and Research, Nutrition, Health Inequities, Metabolic Science, or with interdisciplinary backgrounds will be uniquely positioned to help the university advance these efforts.
