Connectionists: open faculty position --- University of Rochester

[Robert Jacobs]

Open faculty position at the University of Rochester:

The Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of 
Rochester has a junior-level tenure-track position available in any 
of the following three areas: cognition (human or non-human, 
including development), learning and plasticity, or vision (from 
retina to object perception).  We are open to consideration of 
candidates who approach these research topics employing any of the 
primary methods represented by our faculty: behavioral, cognitive 
neuroscience, computational, or neurobiological. The successful 
candidate will join a department that has strengths in natural 
language processing, developmental plasticity and learning, and 
visual system structure and function. A variety of research centers 
complement these three strengths and offer a rich array of colleagues 
and specialized equipment.  Applicants should submit a CV, a brief 
statement of research interests, and three letters of reference to 
Dr. Richard Aslin, Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, 
University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, 14627.  Review of 
applications will begin on November 15, 2007.  The University of 
Rochester has a strong commitment to diversity and actively 
encourages applications from candidates from groups underrepresented 
in higher education. The University of Rochester is an Equal 
Opportunity Employer.
