Open Rank, Tenure-Track Professor in the Institute for Behavioral Genetics

Founded in 1967, the Institute for Behavioral Genetics (IBG) is one of the world's leading research institutes for genetic research on behavior. Its mission is to conduct and facilitate research which examines the genetic bases of individual differences in behavior and to conduct research training in this interdisciplinary area.

There are currently 9 tenured or tenure-track faculty rostered in the Institute and based at IBG. In total there are 28 faculty fellows, most of whom hold joint appointments in academic units on the Boulder and Denver campuses.

In addition to our research mission, faculty on the Boulder campus teach both undergraduate and graduate students.

IBG administers about 45-50 grants (including Center components and subcontracts), with external support of ~$10 million per fiscal year currently and expenditures ranging from $6-14 million annually over the past decade. We direct a NIMH pre- and postdoctoral training grants supporting 4 graduate students and 1 postdoctoral fellow, and we provide NIMH-supported methodology workshops for about 110 scientists annually. Appointees will have the opportunity to recruit postdoctoral fellows and graduate students using funds from these training grants.
