Connectionists: Faculty search: Gatsby Unit Director

[Peter Dayan]

University College London and the Gatsby Charitable Foundation are
seeking a new Director for the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit.

The Director will be a professorial-level appointment. S/he will be
expected to provide scientific direction, intellectual leadership and to
be responsible for the on-going operation and scientific development of
the Unit. His/her breadth of interests will be more critical than the
specific research area. Applications are invited from scientists who can
demonstrate the ability to lead a group performing computationally and
theoretically sophisticated research within the broad area bounded by
neuroscience, cognition and machine learning. Salary will be at a level
appropriate to the international standing of the successful applicant.

We particularly welcome female applicants and those from an ethnic
minority, as they are under-represented within UCL at this level.  This
is in line with section 48 of the Sex Discrimination Act and section 38
of the Race Relations Act.

Scientific Advisory Board; r.dolan at ucl.ac.uk) or Professor Geraint Rees
(Dean, Life Sciences; g.rees at ucl.ac.uk). 

Closing Date: 19 Feb 2017
