Promoting and supporting interdisciplinary neuroscience research, clinical care, and education at UAB
The UAB Comprehensive Neuroscience Center (CNC) is a network of more than 450 UAB Neuroscience research faculty, clinicians, staff, students, and trainees. Our membership is comprised of neuroscience professionals from 32 UAB departments and 9 UAB schools. The CNC serves as a focal point for basic and applied neuroscience research at UAB.
Strategic Faculty Recruitment Program in Neuroscience
The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Heersink School of Medicine (HSOM) is recruiting up to 20 investigators as part of a major strategic initiative in the Neurosciences to build on a strong portfolio across basic and translational research. Recruitment is for tenured, tenure‐track, and non‐tenure‐earning faculty at all ranks and includes academic appointment in one or more of 27 academic departments across the HSOM, four of which rank in the top 10 nationally in NIH funding.
CNC Retreat 2023
The CNC sponsors an annual retreat for the UAB neuroscience community. One to two days away from research laboratories allow trainees and faculty to team-build and explore new avenues of collaboration. The retreat usually features external keynote speakers, junior faculty presentations, and a trainee poster session with presentation awards.
Neuroscience Research and Education
UAB offers multiple paths to careers in the neuroscience workforce. Students may find their calling as clinicians or clinician-scientists working with patients in any number of neuro-related specialties including memory disorders, epilepsy, neurodegeneration, multiple sclerosis, and concussion. Students may also find their calling with fundamental science, elucidating the mysteries of the brain and nervous system using specialized laboratory techniques mastered in the research lab.
