To all:
This is a reminder that The Claremont Colleges, a consortium of 5 highly
selective liberal arts colleges and two graduate institutions in Southern
California, are making available an unusual faculty position in
computational neuroscience (see ad below). This position will offer the
successful candidate the opportunity to continue their research while
working with talented undergraduate students and collaborating with faculty
members in a variety of disciplines. The hire will be made at an advanced
level with salary appropriate to that level. Compensation also includes
substantial annual financial support for research.
Thank you for bringing this position to the attention of any colleagues who
you think might be interested.
Newt Copp
William R. Kenan Professorship in Computational Neuroscience
The undergraduate colleges in the Claremont consortium (Claremont McKenna,
Harvey Mudd, Pitzer, Pomona, and Scripps Colleges) seek a broadly trained
computational neuroscientist to fill the William R. Kenan Chair beginning
in September of 2003. The Kenan Professorship was formed as an
all-Claremont tenured position to be held by a person who has achieved a
record of distinction in a new interdisciplinary area. The successful
candidate will have an unusual opportunity to take a leadership role in an
intercollegiate, interdisciplinary Neuroscience Program that focuses on
undergraduate education and research and involves faculty members in
Biology, Psychology, Engineering, and Philosophy. A commitment to
excellence in undergraduate teaching, an interest in exploring
interdisciplinary collaborations, and an active research program are
expected. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong background
in biology.
The Claremont Colleges include five highly selective liberal arts colleges,
the Claremont Graduate University, and the Keck Graduate Institute for
Applied Life Sciences (see http://www.claremont.edu/about.html). The hire
will be made within the Joint Science Department (see
http://www.jsd.claremont.edu/), a department of 22 faculty members in
Biology (12), Chemistry (6) and Physics (4) that is co-sponsored by
Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps Colleges.
Send a curriculum vita, copies of three publications, statements describing
research interests and teaching interests/philosophy to Kenan Search
Committee, W. M. Keck Science Center, 925 N. Mills Ave., Claremont, CA
91711. Arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to the same
address. Please direct inquires to Alan Jones, Vice President of Pitzer
College and Dean of the Faculty (tel: 909 621-8217; E-mail:
alan_jones@pitzer.edu) or to Newton Copp, Chair of the Search Committee
(tel: 909 621-8298; e-mail: ncopp@jsd.claremont.edu) Review of applications
will begin on December 2, 2002, and continue until the position is filled.
In a continuing effort to enrich our academic environment and provide equal
educational and employment opportunities, The Claremont Colleges actively
encourage applications from women and members of historically
under-represented groups in higher education.
