Faculty Positions at Salk

[Terry Sejnowski]

The Salk Institute for Biological Studies has recently formed a
Center for Theoretical Neurobiology, with funding provided by
the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.  The long-range goal of this
Center is to develop theoretical foundations for modern
neurobiology.  To meet this goal we are seeking applications for
faculty positions.  Candidates should possess formal training in
theory and expertise in physical sciences, mathematics,
engineering, or computation, and they should be interested in
applying quantitative skills to a wide range of contemporary
problems in neurobiology.   It is expected that Center
theoreticians will develop close ties with existing experimental
neurobiology laboratories at the Salk Institute, and will take a
prominent role in the training of graduate students and postdoctoral
fellows in this area.  Women and minority candidates are particularly
encouraged to apply.  The Salk Institute is an equal-opportunity
employer.

Participating Salk faculty and interests include:

Thomas Albright     Neural bases of visual perception and
                      visually-guided behavior
Francis Crick       Theoretical work on the brain
Martyn Goulding     Neural development
Stephen Heinemann   Molecular biology of synaptic transmission
Christopher Kintner Molecular biology of neurogenesis in
                      amphibian embryos
Greg Lemke          Developmental neurobiology
Dennis O'Leary 	    Development of the vertebrate nervous
                      system
Terrence Sejnowski  Computational neurobiology
Charles Stevens     Mechanisms of synaptic transmission
John Thomas         Neuronal development in Drosophila
  
Applications should include c.v., a statement of research goals
and interests, and copies of relevant publications.
