The Department of Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior, in the College of Biological Sciences, University of California, Davis, invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Skeletal Muscle Physiology at the Assistant Professor level. The appointee will be expected to carry out high-quality research in the area of physiology or metabolism of skeletal muscle consistent with the broad goals of the Department of NPB.
