Connectionists: Job Opening Computational Neuroscience

[Mark van Rossum]

Job Opening Computational Neuroscience.

For our rapidly growing Doctoral Training Centre in Neuroinformatics,
the School of Informatics invites applications for Lectureship or
Readership in Neuroinformatics, with a focus on Computational
Neuroscience.  These positions are comparable to assistant/associate
professor, but are permanent appointments. We are particularly
interested in candidates engaged in computational modelling at either a
molecular, cellular, systems, or cognitive level, as well as candidates
who combine experimental approaches with computational modelling.

You should be able to demonstrate an outstanding research record and
commitment to excellence in teaching. You will be based in the Institute
for Adaptive and Neural Computation (www.anc.ed.ac.uk). You will be
expected to play a key role in the EPSRC/MRC Doctoral Training Centre in
Neuroinformatics that is hosted within the School. This
interdisciplinary training programme encompasses computational and
cognitive neuroscience, software systems and tools to support
neuroscience research and neurally inspired systems including
neurorobotics and neural engineering. You will be expected to develop
collaborative links and joint activities both nationally and
internationally.
