Connectionists: Two Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in Computational Neuroscience at Western University

[Jörn Diedrichsen]

Two Probationary (Tenure-Track) Faculty Positions in Computational Neuroscience

The Faculty of Science at Western University is inviting applications for two probationary (tenure-track) faculty positions at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in Computational Neuroscience. These unique appointments are initially funded through BrainsCAN (brainscan.uwo.ca <http://www.uwo.ca/brainscan/index.html>), a $66M initiative funded by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund at Western University, and allow a research-intensive focus for the first 5 years of the appointment. Successful candidates will be provided a yearly research budget for this period, and will be eligible for further internal funding including research accelerator awards, and support for postdoctoral research fellows and PhD students. 

Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree and be recognized internationally for excellence in computational neuroscience research. The ideal candidates will develop and apply computational and statistical data analysis methods to the modeling of neurophysiological, behavioral, or neuroimaging data in order to significantly contribute to the advancement of neuroscience. Candidates with either theoretical or empirical research programs are encouraged to apply. The position will commence on July 1, 2018 or as negotiated.

The successful candidates will become members of the Brain and Mind Institute (www.uwo.ca/bmi <http://www.uwo.ca/bmi>) and will work in the highly collaborative environment in neuroscience, a key area of research strength at Western University. The BMI has 30 Principal Investigators working in the areas of behavioral, cognitive and clinical neuroscience, nearly 200 trainees, and an interdisciplinary neuroscience graduate program. Facilities at Western include a full range of ultra-high field, research-only, MRI scanners (3T, 7T, 9.4T) and state of-the-art laboratories for cognitive, behavioral, and neurophysiological testing in humans, nonhuman primates and rodents. The successful candidates will be appointed into one, or more, of either the Department of Statistical & Actuarial Sciences (www.uwo.ca/stats <http://www.uwo.ca/stats>), the Department for Applied Mathematics (www.uwo.ca/apmaths <http://www.uwo.ca/apmaths>), and the Department of Computer Science (www.csd.uwo.ca <http://www.csd.uwo.ca/>) as appropriate, in the Faculty of Science at Western (www.uwo.ca/sci <http://www.uwo.ca/sci>). 

Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. Review of applications will begin on December 1st, 2017.
