Connectionists: Job Opening for Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at Rutgers University-Newark: Broad range of experimental approaches in humans, non-human primates, and/or rodents.

[Mark Gluck]

Dear Friends & Colleagues:

The Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience (CMBN) at Rutgers University-Newark has recently posted the following broadly-pitched advertisement for a new junior faculty position. I would be particularly interested in seeing the position filled by someone with a focus on learning, memory, or decision making—a major locus of strength for Rutgers University across several units and campuses. Such a candidate might work at the cognitive neuroscience level using functional brain imaging and/or other methods with humans, or at a systems-neuroscience level, using non-human primates or rodents, within a research program that makes strong connections to behavioral and cognitive approaches. Brain imaging is supported internally by our research-dedicated Rutgers University Brain Imaging Center, RUBIC (see http://rubic.rutgers.edu)

Candidates with research interests in this area are welcome to contact me directly at gluck at pavlov.rutgers.edu and to cc me when they submit their formal application materials to the job-search email account noted below (see detailed instructions below on how to apply). 

(FYI: We also have both graduate fellowships and postdoctoral fellowships available for those seeking training in the cognitive and clinical neuroscience of learning and memory disorders; candidates for these training positions are encourage to contact me directly, as well). 

Finally — Please note the October 20, 2014 deadline for the faculty position is coming up soon.

The Center for Molecular & Behavioral Neuroscience (CMBN) at Rutgers University-Newark seeks outstanding candidates for a tenure track Assistant Professor position in NEUROSCIENCE. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience or a related field and have completed at least two years of post-doctoral training. 

The ideal candidate for this position asks fundamental hypothesis-driven questions about brain structure and function and is open to establishing collaborative research efforts within the Rutgers neuroscience community. Research areas of particular interest are executive control, sensory-motor integration, learning and memory, and emotional regulation. The successful applicant will likely use a broad range of experimental approaches in non-human primates, humans, and/or rodents, and methods including electrophysiology, optogenetics, and functional imaging. The assistant professor will be expected to maintain an active externally-funded research program, to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in neuroscience, and to mentor Ph.D. students in the Behavioral and Neural Sciences program.
 
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is a leading national public research university and the state's preeminent, comprehensive public institution of higher education. Rutgers is dedicated to conducting research that breaks new ground; to teaching that meets the highest standards of excellence; and to providing services, solutions, and clinical care that help individuals and the local, national, and global communities where they live.
 
CMBN is located in Newark NJ, a short drive from New York City. CMBN is part of a large community of neuroscientists at Rutgers Newark, with additional researchers in the Departments of Biological Sciences and Psychology as well as in the Rutgers University New Jersey Medical School. Collectively, these researchers represent all levels of analysis in neuroscience (http://www.neuroscience.newark.rutgers.edu).

Applicants should apply as soon as possible, but no later than October 20, 2014. Rutgers is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and has a strong commitment to diversity. Women and members of underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Rutgers-Newark is noted for its exceptionally diverse student population.
