Connectionists: Tenure-track faculty position in Computational Brain Science @Brown

[Thomas Serre]

*Tenure-track Assistant, Associate or Full Professor in Computational Brain Science*

Robert J. and Nancy D. Carney Institute for Brain Science Brown University

The Robert J. and Nancy D. Carney Institute for Brain Science ( https://www.brown.edu/carney/ ) at Brown University invites applications from rising and established leaders in computational brain science for a tenure-track/tenured position at the Assistant, Associate of Full Professor level. A transformative $100M gift to the Institute is catalyzing the growth and expansion of Carney faculty and research over the next decade, including to further research goals of the Center for Computational Brain Science ( https://ccbs.carney.brown.edu/ ). As part of this expansion, this search will consider applicants with expertise in computational neuroscience broadly construed and will result in an appointment with a tenure-track home in a Carney Institute-affiliated department (including physics, applied mathematics, computer science, neuroscience, and cognitive, linguistic and psychological sciences).

The successful applicant will have an outstanding record of research and teaching that contributes to the mission of the candidate’s appropriate home department and the Carney Institute Center for Computational Brain Science. We are particularly interested in scholars who demonstrate commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in the brain sciences.

The Carney Institute promotes discovery and innovation in brain science by supporting a diverse community of experimentalists, theorists, engineers, and clinicians. With more than 200 affiliated faculty members in more than 20 academic and clinical units, the Carney Institute catalyzes research across the brain sciences, including in the neurobiology of cells and circuits, computational brain science, cognition and behavior, and neuroengineering and neurotechnology. We are a highly interactive community that values collaborative approaches to tackle major questions in brain science to benefit society. Quality of research and scholarship is central to reaching our goals and this depends on engaging talented scientists from across academia and embracing their contributions in a fully inclusive community. The Carney Institute’s strategic vision is aligned with Brown’s commitment to creating a more fully diverse and inclusive community, outlined in “ Pathways to Diversity and Inclusion: An Action Plan for Brown University ( https://diap.brown.edu/ ).”
