Neuroscience position: Junior research group

[Michael Herrmann]

HEAD OF JUNIOR RESEARCH GROUP IN SYSTEMS/COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE

The Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) Göttingen
will establish an experimental research group in systems and
computational neuroscience. The group will be headed by a scientist with
several years of postdoctoral training, who has been working
competitively in an area of systems and computational neuroscience,
complementing the activities of the Bernstein Center Göttingen
(http://www.bccn-goettingen.de). Potential research topics may include
but are not limited to neuro-prosthetics and motor control,
multi-neuronal activity in vivo or in vitro as assessed by optical or
multi-electrode recording techniques, and computational aspects of
single neuron dynamics. Funding is available for 5 years and will
include, in addition to the position of the group leader (BAT Ia),
positions for pre- and postdoctoral fellows, technical support, and
funds for consumables and instruments.

Göttingen is a center of neuroscience in Europe hosting numerous
internationally recognized neuroscience research institutions, including
three Max Planck Institutes, the European Neuroscience Institute, the
German Primate Research Center, and Göttingen University's Centers for
Systems Neuroscience (ZNV) and for the Molecular Physiology of the Brain
(CMPB). The Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN)
integrates theoretical and experimental research groups from these
institutions to foster interdisciplinary research in computational
neuroscience specifically supporting close collaboration between
theorists and experimental researchers.

The institutions comprising the Bernstein Center Göttingen are equal
opportunity employers and seek to increase the proportion of female
scientists in leading positions. Thus qualified women are especially
encouraged to apply. If equally qualified, candidates with disabilities
will be preferentially considered.

The search will remain open until an appointment is made, but complete
applications should be received by March 11, 2005, to ensure full
consideration. Candidates with an interest in the group leader position
should send a CV, list of publications, 3 references, and an outline of
current and future research to the chairman of the Bernstein Center,
Prof. Dr. Theo Geisel, Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and
