[Randall O'Reilly]

Assistant Professor – Computational Neuroscience

The University of California, Davis invites applications for a tenure-track position in computational neuroscience. The position will focus on computational models and methods at the molecular, cellular, circuit and/or systems levels; and/or on identifying general principles of brain function. The appointment will be at the Assistant Professor level and will be in one of the following eight departments: Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior (NPB, College of Biological Sciences); Psychology, Physics, Statistics (College of Letters & Sciences); Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering (College of Engineering); Cell Biology and Human Anatomy, Physiology and Membrane Biology (School of Medicine); or have a joint appointment between two of these departments within or across colleges and schools. Research space will be located at the interdisciplinary Center for Neuroscience (https://neuroscience.ucdavis.edu/), which houses a cluster of computational neuroscience faculty and many experimental neuroscience laboratories. Applications are sought from scholars who have strong and innovative research portfolios that would complement the existing research at the Center for Neuroscience and relevant academic departments. This search is part of an initiative to hire 10+ new faculty across multiple departments who focus on advanced computational theory and methods, including clusters of hires in computational neuroscience, neuroengineering, network science, and data science.
