Job opening Computational Neuroscience, Edinburgh

[Mark van Rossum]

The School of Informatics invites applications for an appointment to a
Lecturership or Readership in Neuroinformatics.

You should be able to demonstrate an outstanding research record and
commitment to excellence in teaching. You will be expected to play a
key role in the EPSRC/MRC Doctoral Training Centre in Neuroinformatics
that is hosted within the School. This unique interdisciplinary
training programme encompasses computational and cognitive
neuroscience, software systems and tools to support neuroscience
research and neurally inspired systems including neurorobotics and
neural engineering.  Candidates engaged in computational modelling
research are particularly encouraged to apply.

You will be based in the Institute for Adaptive and Neural
Computation, and will be expected to develop collaborative links and
joint activities both nationally and internationally, with respect to,
for example, the current UK initiatives in Systems Biology and in
Cognitive Systems and the new EPSRC/MRC/BBSRC funded UK-wide Network
in Neuroinformatics.

We offer you the opportunity to take part in the growth of one of the
leading neuroinformatics centres, as this exciting new field
develops. Interaction with the University's leading researchers is
encouraged, across a broad range of relevant areas within Informatics
and more widely within the University, particularly with the large
neuroscience community. Research within Informatics is supported by
substantial funding from EPSRC, ESRC, MRC, BBRSC and the Wellcome
Trust and overseas research councils, as well as through a significant
portfolio of industrial collaborations and research contracts.
