Professorship in Computational Neuroscience

[CNS Course]

Professorship (W3) in Computational Neuroscience

The Georg-August-Universitaet Goettingen invites, pending the approval of
the BMBF, applications for a Professorship in Computational Neuroscience
(W3) starting as early as possible.

We are looking for an internationally recognized research personality, who
will represent the field of Computational Neuroscience in research and
teaching. The successful candidate should collaborate with existing
research groups in the area of Neuroscience in Goettingen and participate
in the coordination of the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience Goettingen,
which is currently being established. The candidate's research should
complement and expand the scientific spectrum of the Center. Possible
areas of research include dynamics and coding in biological neural
networks, computer-aided analysis of complex neural systems and/or the
development of simulation technology for large biological neural networks.
We expect a substantial contribution of the candidate towards establishing
the PhD program in Computational Neuroscience within the Goettingen
Graduate School of Science.

The professorship is assigned to the Institute for Informatics in the
Faculty of Mathematics of the Georg-August-Universitaet Goettingen.
Initially the position is limited to five years but will be extended to
tenure following a positive evaluation.

Habilitation or alternatively documented evidence of equivalent scientific
qualifications is required. The Universitaet Goettingen seeks to increase
the proportion of female faculty members. Thus qualified women are
especially encouraged to apply. If equally qualified, candidates with
disabilities will be preferentially considered.

The deadline for applications is October 27, 2004. Please submit your
application in English, together with the usual information (curriculum
vitae, publication list, names of three possible referees) and copies of
your three most important publications to:


Prof. Dr. Theo Geisel
Institut fuer Nichtlineare Dynamik
Universitaet Goettingen
