RE: Anticipated Opening for Junior Faculty in Brain Imaging/Cognitive 
Neuroscience at Rutgers-Newark CMBN

Dear Cognitive Neuroscience Friends,

I'm writing to ask if you know of any strong candidates for an 
anticipated (but not yet formally announced or approved) forthcoming 
search at Rutgers-Newark's Center for Molecular & Behavioral 
Neuroscience  (CMBN) for a tenure-track Junior Faculty position in 
BRAIN IMAGING/ COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE for someone who would use our 
new NSF-funded Rutgers Brain Imaging Center (RUBIC) and its new 
research-dedicated Siemens 3T TRIO magnet located on the ground floor 
of our Aidekman Neuroscience Center. 

The ideal candidate would be someone uses brain imaging to ask 
fundamental questions about brain function and would interact well 
with a diverse community of neuroscientists including molecular, 
systems, behavioral, and cognitive neuroscientists. The candidate 
would be expected to teach graduate-level courses in neuroscience and 
mentor Ph.D. students in our Behavioral and Neural Sciences program. 
Although we expect the position to be filled by someone who would use 
the RUBIC facility, this may include those who use imaging in 
combination with other methods such as animal research, behavioral 
genetics, and/or clinical patient studies. The RUBIC facility can 
also be used to do imaging studies with non-human primates.

Please note that this position is in addition to another Cognitive 
Neuroscience faculty position open in our neighboring Rutgers-Newark 
Psychology Department (i.e., two positions total at Rutgers-Newark, 
both of which are targeted to people who would use the RUBIC brain 
imaging facility). 

For more information on neuroscience at Rutgers-Newark see 
http://www.neuroscience.newark.rutgers.edu.

More information on our brain imaging center is at http://rubic.rutgers.edu/

Although no search has been formally announced, and no committee 
officially mandated, I would be grateful if you could forward this 
email to any potential candidates and ask them to informally contact 
me with a copy of their CV and Research Statement.  Our hope is to 
begin the search in early 2012 for a possible start-date in 
summer/fall 2012.

Thanks, Mark
