                        Tenure Track Faculty Position
                          --------------------------
The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Alabama at
Birmingham has an opening for a tenure-track faculty member.  The opening
is being filled as part of a Whitaker Foundation Special Opportunities
Award for a training and research program in functional and structural
imaging of the brain.  Candidates are particularly sought in neurosystems
modelling, biological neural networks,computational neurobiology, or other
multidisciplinary areas that combine neurobiology and imaging.  More senior
candidates and candidates with established research programs are of
particular interest, in order that the UAB program can be quickly
established.  The person selected for this position will be expected to
form active research collaborations with other units in the medical center
part of the UAB campus.  Candidates should have a Ph.D. degree in an
appropriate field, and must be a U.S. citizen or have permanent residency
in the U.S.  The search will be continued until the position is filled.

UAB is an autonomous campus within the University of Alabama system.  UAB
faculty currently are involved in over $180 million of externally funded
grants and contracts.  A 4.1 Tesla clinical NMR facility for cardiovascular
and brain research, several other small-bore MR systems, a Philips Gyroscan
system, and a team of research scientists and engineers working in various
aspects of MR imaging and spectroscopy are housed only 200 meters from the
School of Engineering.  In addition, the brain imaging project will involve
the opportunity for collaborations with members of the Neurobiology
Research Center, a new Cognitive Science Graduate Program, as well as
faculty members from the Departments of Neurology, Psychiatry, and
Radiology.

To apply send a letter of application, a current curriculum vitae, and
