Tenure Track Faculty Opportunities
Who We Are
The Department of Biology at the University of Texas at San Antonio together with the Brain Health Consortium (BHC), founded in 2018, is a bold new interdisciplinary research effort designed to revolutionize brain health and treat disease. Jenny Hsieh, Ph.D. & Director, is recruiting outstanding individuals dedicated to solving fundamental problems in neurobiology and brain health.
The BHC is housed across UTSA including a new state-of-the-art Science and Engineering building, which is part of a vibrant and collaborative research environment with a major focus on neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease, Epilepsy, Autism, and TBI. The University of Texas at San Antonio is one of the nation’s most diverse universities with a strong emphasis on expanding research foci, and the BHC is one of those foci.
What We Do
Highlights of the BHC include:
- A robust basic science environment using in vitro models of disease that enable us to screen and identify relevant therapeutics, which is a critical foundation to cure diseases using precision medicine.
- State-of-the-art facilities and shared equipment for image analysis, cellular and molecular biology are available in the newly established UTSA Stem Cell Core for the creation of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells and differentiation of neuronal subtypes of the human CNS.
- Integration with programs across the College of Sciences, Engineering, Liberal and Fine Arts, and Education and Human Development and multiple departments including Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Psychology, Chemistry, and Computer Science, providing outstanding opportunities for collaborative research.
