               Readership or Lecturership in Neuroinformatics

The Division of Informatics invites applications from candidates of
international standing for an appointment to either a Readership or a
Lectureship in Neuroinformatics. Neuroinformatics is broadly defined
as including computational modelling of neural and neurocognitive
processes, neurally-inspired systems including robotics, and software
systems and tools to support neuroscience research. Candidates in all
these areas are invited to apply.

Edinburgh has a long-standing tradition of excellence in all of the
constituent disciplines of neuroinformatics and has recently received
in excess of £15M of new research funding in this area.

Candidates should be able to demonstrate a world-class research record
and both interest and ability in teaching. The appointee will be
expected to participate in the development of the new EPSRC/MRC-funded
Doctoral Training Centre in Neuroinformatics and associated research
groups; to help develop a new curriculum in neuroinformatics; and to
develop his/her own research programme. The appointee to a Readership
will also be expected to develop collaborative links and joint
activities with academia and industry both nationally and
internationally, reflecting the development of neuroinformatics as an
international subject.
