The Department of Anesthesiology at Washington University School of Medicine invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position in the Division of Basic Research (DBR). The DBR encompasses a broad range of scientific disciplines, including neuroscience, cellular and molecular biology, physiology, immunology, and mechanisms of human disease. We seek an investigator who will introduce innovative scientific ideas and research directions that advance the scientific scope of the division and department.

We welcome applicants from all areas of basic biomedical research with broad relevance to anesthesiology or critical care. No specific research discipline, disease area, or experimental methodology is required. Candidates will be evaluated on the originality and significance of their research, scientific accomplishments and trajectory relative to career stage, and prospects for sustained research excellence and external funding. We encourage applications from both emerging investigators and established scientists. The successful candidate will establish or maintain an independent research program, contribute to the intellectual environment of DBR, and have opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration across Washington University. Academic rank and recruitment support will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
