The Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of
Rochester is seeking to hire a tenure-track faculty member in the area
of theoretical and computational neuroscience. We are primarily
interested in candidates who employ theoretical and/or computational
approaches to address fundamental questions regarding neural coding,
sensory and perceptual processing, motor control, cognition, and
decision-making. Candidates who demonstrate a strong interest in
collaborating with experimentalists are especially encouraged to
apply. The successful candidate will join a dynamic, collegial
department whose focus is the study of learning and development,
perception, motor control and cognition, through combined
neurobiological, computational, and behavioral research
(http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/index.html); she or he will also be part
of a university–wide neuroscience community engaged in graduate and
undergraduate education. Applicants should submit a CV, a statement of
research and teaching interests, and contact information for three
referees via the following website:http://www.rochester.edu/fort/bcs.
Questions concerning this position can be addressed to Dr. Gregory C.
DeAngelis, chair of the search committee [email:
gdeangelis at cvs.rochester.edu]. Review of applications will begin on
November 1, 2013. The University of Rochester is an Equal Opportunity
Employer with a strong commitment to diversity, and actively
encourages applications from candidates from groups underrepresented
in higher education.

The Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of
Rochester is seeking to hire a tenure-track faculty member in the area
of systems neuroscience. We are primarily interested in candidates who
employ experimental approaches to address fundamental questions
regarding the neural basis of behavior. Specific areas of interest
include sensory neural coding, motor control, decision-making,
plasticity, learning and memory. Candidates working in both primate
and non-primate model systems are encouraged to apply. The successful
candidate will join a dynamic, collegial department whose focus is the
study of learning and development, perception, motor control and
cognition through combined neurobiological, computational, and
behavioral research (http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/index.html); she or
