                               Director

University College London and the Gatsby Charitable Foundation are
seeking a new Director for the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit.
The successful candidate would also be considered for appointment to
the Chair of Computational Neuroscience at UCL.  The Unit is one of
the leading computational neuroscience centres in the world with staff
having minimal teaching responsibilities.  It is based in Queen Square
London in very close proximity to the Institute of Cognitive
Neuroscience, the Functional Imaging Lab and the Institute of
Neurology.  Currently four senior staff, five postdoctoral researchers
and ten PhD students receive substantial long-term funding from the
Foundation.

The Director will be expected to provide scientific direction and
intellectual leadership.  His/her breadth of interests will be more
critical than the specific research area.  Applications are invited
from scientists who can lead a group on computationally and
theoretically sophisticated research within the broad area bounded by
neuroscience, cognition and machine learning.  Salary will be at a
level appropriate to the international standing of the successful
applicant.

Applications including a CV should be sent to Janice Hankes, Gatsby
Computational Neuroscience Unit, UCL, Alexandra House, 17 Queen
Square, London WC1N 3AR, UK or by email to Janice at gatsby.ucl.ac.uk 
Enquiries or expressions of interest to t.shallice at ucl.ac.uk

The closing date for applications is Monday 3rd September 2001.
