The Department of Biological Sciences and the Center for the Neural
Basis of Cognition (CNBC) at Carnegie Mellon University seek a
tenure-track faculty candidate in systems neuroscience at the assistant
professor level. Carnegie Mellon is strongly committed to expanding
brain research and investing in new faculty that span the disciplines of
computational and systems neuroscience. As part of this effort, Carnegie
Mellon is establishing a new, cross-disciplinary neuroscience institute
(seehttps://www.cmu.edu/news/stories/archives/2018/february/neuroscience-institute.html)
that will bring together various neuroscience initiatives and programs
at the institution, including the CNBC at Carnegie Mellon. Brain science
faculty have access to facilities that include a state-of-the-art animal
facility, high-performance computing clusters, and neuroimaging centers
(see http://www.cmu.edu/bio and http://www.cnbc.cmu.edu).  The candidate
will join a growing and highly interactive neuroscience community at
Carnegie Mellon and will be a member of the CNBC, an interdisciplinary
and collaborative group of neuroscientists from Carnegie Mellon and the
University of Pittsburgh.

Applications are encouraged from individuals using advanced,
cutting-edge techniques to examine the dynamic properties of neuronal
ensembles in vivo, especially in awake or freely-moving animals. The
candidate will join a faculty with strength in big data analytics,
machine learning, signal processing, and bioengineering.  Preference
will be given to a candidate who will leverage these tools for data
acquisition and analysis, especially those whose own research helps
drive innovation in these areas.

Questions can be addressed to Prof. Aryn Gittis (agittis at cmu.edu).
