Two Theoretical Neuroscience Faculty Positions
Brown University
Brain Science
Two tenure track faculty positions in the area of theoretical neuroscience have
been created as part of the new Brain Science Program at Brown University. The
first position (FP# FM464 ) is at the rank of Assistant Professor in the
Department of Neuroscience, with a joint appointment in the Institute for Brain
and Neural Systems. Applicants must have a
Ph.D or equivalent, formal advanced training in mathematics or physics,
experience in experimental neurophysiology and the ability to teach
theoretical Neuroscience courses. Research must involve mathematical analysis
and modeling closely tied to experimental work on vertebrate nervous system
function. Preference will be given to candidates whose research addresses the
role of synaptic plasticity in learning and memory storage in cerebral cortex.
The second position (FP# FM465) is at the Assistant or Associate Professor
level (tenure-track or tenured). The appointment will be joint between the
Division of Applied Mathematics and the Department of Neuroscience. Candidates
must have a Ph. D or equivalent, formal advanced training in mathematics or its
applications, strong analytic skills and experience in experimental
neurophysiology. Candidates must be prepared to teach courses both in the
Division of Applied Mathematics and the Neuroscience Department. Research
should involve mathematical analysis and modeling of nervous system function.
Preference will be given to candidates whose research addresses higher level
representation and computation in the cerebral cortex.
Candidates for assistant professor rank must have two or more years of
postdoctoral research experience and the potential to carry out independent
research, secure external research funding and be an effective teacher and
mentor for undergraduate and graduate students.
Those at the associate professor rank must have proven effectiveness as a
lecturer and mentor of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Demonstrated
scholarly productivity through publication in peer-reviewed journals, a record
of presentation at scientific meetings and research seminars, and an
established program of research is also necessary. A national reputation for
excellence in scholarship and a record of professional service to the
scientific and academic community is required.
All applications received by January 15, 2000 will be given full
consideration. Please specify position and level. Submit a curriculum vitae,
a set of representative reprints, a concise description of research interests
and goals, and the names of three (Assistant Professor) to five (Associate
Professor) references to:
