<p>NEURAL CIRCUITS AND BEHAVIOR FACULTY POSITION, INDIANA
UNIVERSITY: The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at
Indiana University – Bloomington seeks to fill a faculty position
at the level of Assistant Professor (tenure-track) to begin August
2015. Applicants for this position must have a doctorate, a strong
record of publication, and the potential for research funding. The
applicant's research should focus on using innovative experimental
techniques in animal models to understand mechanisms and causal
relationships between neural circuit activity and ethologically
relevant behavior. We seek cutting-edge integration between new
and emerging capabilities for large scale recording and/or
manipulation of circuits combined with sophisticated analysis of
large-scale data. Examples of behaviors of interest include those
related to learning and memory, perception, decision making,
reward, timing, pain, adaptation to stress, and developmental
processes. Experimental techniques include various methods for
recording and manipulating neural circuits at single-cell
resolution, including multi-electrode recordings, imaging of
circuit activity, and optogenetics. Candidates using circuit-based
approaches to study preclinical models of schizophrenia, autism,
and other difficult to treat psychiatric diseases are encouraged
to apply. The successful candidate is expected to assemble a
vibrant, externally-funded research program and to achieve
excellence in both undergraduate and graduate education. Indiana
University is in the midst of a multi-year initiative to build
excellence in network science, and it is anticipated that the
candidate’s research will both benefit from, and contribute to the
initiative’s computational neuroscience components. </p>
<p>To apply, please include a curriculum vita, copies of
representative publications, statements of research and teaching
interests, and three (3) letters of recommendation.</p>
<p>Interested candidates should review the application requirements
and submit their application at:
