Connectionists: Bernstein Fellows - Independent Research Positions in Computational Neuroscience

[Tobias Niemann]

We invite applications for Independent Research Positions in 
Computational Neuroscience at the Bernstein Center for Computational 
Neuroscience (BCCN) in Göttingen, Germany. 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 the Center for Systems Neuroscience (ZNV) and the 
Center for the Molecular Physiology of the Brain (CMPB). The 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.

We are looking for strong research personalities, who are experienced in 
the field of Computational Neuroscience and/or related disciplines such 
as theoretical physics, biophysics, mathematics, or computer science and 
with commitment to a research career in neuroscience. Prior biological 
or neuroscience training is desirable. The Bernstein Fellow will have 
the opportunity to collaborate with other members of the BCCN or to 
pursue an independent research program complementing the activities of 
the BCCN.

Initially the positions are limited to two years and may be extended to 
up to three years. Application deadline is 31 May 2007. Please submit 
your application preferably in one single PDF-document, including cover 
letter, CV, list of publications, research proposal/interests, names of 
three referees, relevant certificates, and copies of three of your most 
important publications to: jobs at bccn-goettingen.de (Subject: Bernstein 
Fellow)
