<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Garamond",serif">The Center for Brain Science (CBS) and Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Harvard University seek a tenure-track faculty member to lead an innovative
research program working across the fields of Computational Neuroscience and Machine Learning to discover how brain computation can benefit artificial systems and how principles of computation and learning in artificial systems can be used to understand the
brain. Current faculty use a variety of approaches to learn how brains compute and govern cognition and behavior. The successful candidate will be appointed an Institute Investigator within the Kempner Institute and will hold an academic appointment in an
appropriate department in the life or physical sciences in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University. A full list of potential departments can be found here:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
