Assistant Professor - Tenure Track
George Mason University, Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study, Neuroscience Program invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions in neuroscience to begin fall 2008. The level of appointment will be commensurate with the candidate's qualifications. To be considered for a position above assistant professor, applicants should have established a successful history of external funding and a superior record of published research.
Candidates must have a doctorate in a relevant field, appropriate postdoctoral training and strong publications. We seek outstanding scientists to interface with our interests in integrative/systems neuroscience and neuroinformatics. Research emphases complementing and expanding our strengths in the hippocampus and basal ganglia are welcome both at the cellular and network levels. We particularly encourage applications from experimentalists inclined to collaborate with computational neuroscientists and from computational scientists developing data-driven models.
Successful applicants will be expected to develop an independent, innovative and externally funded research program, and participate in both graduate and undergraduate teaching. Research laboratories in a dedicated, state-of-the-art neuroscience facility at the Krasnow Institute will be finished to the specifications of the successful candidates.
