The Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering
(<a href="http://www.ee.ethz.ch/" target="_blank">www.ee.ethz.ch</a>)
at ETH Zurich and the Faculty of Science (<a
href="http://www.mnf.uzh.ch/en/news.html" target="_blank">www.mnf.uzh.ch</a>)
of the University of Zurich invite applications for the
above-mentioned position in the Institute of Neuroinformatics (INI,
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.ini.uzh.ch">www.ini.uzh.ch</a>) to complement and extend its vigorous research
activities. <br>
<br>
The research of the candidate should be directed towards the theory
and practice of computation in neural systems and behavior, with a
strong interest in theory driven experimental neuroscience and
information processing in neural circuits. The successful candidate
will combine cutting-edge theories and experiments in neural
information processing and computation to explore the causal links
between neuronal circuits and behaviour in vertebrates. An ability
to develop requisite neurotechnologies will be an asset. The
successful candidate will contribute to a highly collaborative
multi-disciplinary environment.<br>
<br>
We encourage internationally recognized candidates with strong
research records to apply. We seek to fill either a tenured or
tenure-track professorship position. The new professor will be
expected to teach undergraduate level courses (German or English)
and graduate level courses (English).<br>
<br>
The INI is a joint institute of the Faculty of Science of the
University of Zurich and the Department of Information Technology
and Electrical Engineering of ETH Zurich. The INI fosters research
at the interface between neuroscience, computing and engineering
through its research, teaching and graduate training, and specialist
international workshop programs. Its members conduct a coordinated
research program by means of multidisciplinary teams composed of
about 70 biologists, physicists, psychologists, engineers and
computer scientists. Through many levels of experiment and theory
INI scientists explore how the circuits of the brain process
information to generate intelligent behavior. They exploit new
developments in silicon technology and computers as a means of
developing models and hardware implementations of information
processing and storage in the brain. In order to strengthen
interdisciplinary research, the new professor should have a strong
overlap with existing interests in the INI, and also forge links
with other institutes of the University of Zurich and the ETH Zurich
(for example: Biology, Brain Research, Pharmacology, Computer
Science, Information Technology and Electrical Engineering,
Mathematics, and Physics). <br>

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a list of
publications and statements of future research and teaching
activities. The letter of application should be addressed <strong>to
the President of ETH Zurich. The closing date for applications is
15 January 2015</strong>. ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and
family friendly employer and is further responsive to the needs of
dual career couples. We specifically encourage women to apply.<br>
