Connectionists: Tenure-Track Position in Neural Data Science

[Sen Cheng]

Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) is one of Germany’s leading research
universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines. A highly
dynamic setting enables researchers and students to work across the
traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. To create
knowledge networks within and beyond the university is RUB’s declared aim.

The Institute for Neural Computation is hiring a W2 professor for initially
five years (with Tenure-Track to W2) in Neural Data Science to start on 1st
April 2022.

The successful candidate will represent the field of Neural Data Science in
education and research. A research focus on the application of modern
machine learning methods in the analysis of imaging and/or
electrophysiological data as well as in modelling of the neural basis of
cognitive processes is desirable. Teaching is expected in the degree
programs Bachelor and Master of Applied Computer Science as well as the
international Master in Cognitive Science. Evidence of superior
qualification for excellent research, acquisition of third-party funding,
academic teaching, interdisciplinary collaborations and the contribution to
academic self-administration are required. The professorship is part of an
initiative for the interdisciplinary integration of research in cognitive
neuroscience at Ruhr-Universität Bochum and Universität Duisburg-Essen.

The prerequisites for employment are: a completed university degree; a
positively evaluated junior professorship, habilitation or equivalent
achievements; an aptitude for scientific research with a track record of
excellent publications; as well as teaching skills. Experience in acquiring
and leading third-party funded research projects as primary principal
investigator, interdisciplinary collaborations as well as international
networking are expected.

Applications with all relevant documents (academic CV; transcripts; proof
of aptitude for academic teaching, preferably with evaluation results; list
of publications; list of acquired third-party funding with respective grant
number) should be submitted electronically by 01.08.2021 to the Managing
Director, Prof. Dr. Gregor Schöner (gregor.schoener at ini.rub.de), Institute
for Neural Computation, Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Subject-specific questions
relating to the position can be directed to Professor Dr. Sen Cheng (
sen.cheng at rub.de).
