[visionlist] Assistant Professor Opening in Cognitive Neuroscience/Brain Imaging at Rutgers University, Newark

[Bart Krekelberg]

The Center for Molecular & Behavioral Neuroscience  (CMBN) at Rutgers
University-Newark has an opening for a tenure-track Assistant
Professor in COGNITIVE
NEUROSCIENCE/BRAIN IMAGING. The ideal candidate is someone who uses brain
imaging to ask fundamental hypothesis-driven questions about brain
structure and function. We are particularly interested in candidates who
use imaging in combination with other methods such as behavioral methods,
animal research, computational modeling, genetics, and/or clinical patient
studies.



The applicant would be expected to be an active member of the Rutgers Brain
Imaging Center (RUBIC) and use our new NSF-funded research-dedicated
Siemens 3T TRIO magnet located on the ground floor of the Center for
Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience in Newark. This facility can also be
used for animal imaging.


We seek a candidate who will interact well with a diverse community of
neuroscientists including molecular, systems, behavioral, and cognitive
neuroscientists. The candidate will be expected to contribute to
undergraduate research training and teach graduate courses in neuroscience,
mentor Ph.D. students in our Behavioral and Neural Sciences graduate
program, and maintain an active externally-funded research program. Women
and members of underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to
apply; Rutgers-Newark is noted for its exceptionally diverse student
population. Although not required, a candidate who has current and
transportable external funding is preferred.

For more information on neuroscience at Rutgers-Newark see*
http://www.neuroscience.newark.rutgers.edu*. Additional information on our
brain imaging center is at *http://rubic.rutgers.edu/* .

Applicants should apply as soon as possible, but preferably no later than
September 15th, 2012.

To apply, please create* four PDF files*:

(1) Cover letter summarizing (a) past training, (b) future research and
professional goals, (c) past honors, grants, and fellowship awards, current
external grant awards with start and end dates, and plans for future grant
submissions, (d) why you are a good fit for Rutgers/CMBN and vice versa,
(e) names, affiliations, and email addresses of three people whom you have
contacted for letters of recommendation, and (f) a one sentence précis of
research interest and activities,
(2) C.V.,
(3) Research Statement,
(4) One representative first-authored paper.

These four files should be emailed as PDF attachments to *
mri at cmbn.rutgers.edu* with a header:
   "<Candidate's last name, first name>. Cog Neuro Faculty Application".



In addition, all applicants should arrange for at least three letters of
recommendation to be emailed directly to the same email address, with a
header that reads:

   "<Candidate's last name, first name>: Recommendation from <Reviewer's
last name, first name>.
