Neuroscience Job Postings

Updated November 1, 2026 (first round October 12, 2026)

This is a list of neuroscience-related job postings, organized into three sheets: 1) for PI openings at the assistant professor level (including open rank), 2) for PI openings at the associate professor level and above, and 3) for non-PI jobs such as teaching positions. The original postings come from Nature Careers, Science Careers, the Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Ed, SfN NeuroJobs, society career centers, and individual university and institute websites. I used Claude to help categorize the postings and then checked each one by hand.

A few things to keep in mind.

1. The list was first put together on October 12, 2026 and updated on November 1, 2026. Jobs added in the November update are at the bottom of each sheet, below the orange line that says "Added between Oct 12 and Nov 1." Jobs posted after November 1 aren't included.

2. Jobs whose closing dates had already passed by October 12 weren't included in the first round. Some jobs from the first round may have passed their review or closing dates between October 12 and November 1, but I kept all of them just as they were and didn't remove anything from the first round. Please check the posting to see if a job is still open.

3. In some cases, the closing date on a university's own job site is slightly different from the date in its ads elsewhere. In other cases, the date they start reviewing applications is pretty far from the closing date. If you're ever unsure when applications close, or have other questions about dates, it's always a good idea to reach out to the search committee.

4. This is a one-person effort, and even with my best intentions, I'm sure I've missed some postings, especially ones the hiring team chose not to post in the large outlets. Please keep an eye on job postings at the places you're thinking of applying.
