research probing matters fundamental to knowledge of integrative,
cognitive, and behavioral neuroscience as they relate to brain disorders
and complex mental disorders. The position requires broad competence in
basic neuroscience as the incumbent will provide scientific guidance and
direction for this program. The incumbent performs duties in three major
areas: project management and administration; program leadership and
development; and personal scientific activities. For example, the
incumbent is expected to analyze current research activities and program
needs and identify areas under development that relate to integrative,
cognitive, and behavioral neuroscience research as related to brain
disorders relevant to mental health. He/she monitors new developments in
the field and identifies research opportunities in areas not yet
explored; provides technical advice to grantees and contractors on
programmatic, scientific, and/or technical issues, including the design,
development and implementation of projects and related activities; and
organizes and/or represents the Institute at scientific meetings,
symposia, and conferences on related topics.
