[visionlist] Faculty Positions in Cognitive Science and Neuroscience, University of Rochester

[Michele Schultz]

The Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of 
Rochester has multiple openings for tenure-track faculty members in the 
general areas of cognitive science and neuroscience.  We are seeking to 
hire outstanding faculty in three areas:
Cognition:  Research interests could include action, attention, 
categorization, decision making, learning, memory, and perception, and 
could also include approaches such as cognitive development, cognitive 
neuroscience, computational modeling, and neuropsychology.
Language: Applicants are sought with a specialization in natural 
language production, comprehension or acquisition, including those who 
adopt primarily cognitive neuroscience, computational and behavioral 
approaches.
Systems/Computational Neuroscience: We are primarily interested in 
candidates who employ experimental and/or computational neuroscience 
approaches to address fundamental questions regarding the neural basis 
of behavior. Specific areas of interest include sensory neural coding, 
motor control, decision-making, plasticity, learning and memory.

Successful candidates will join a dynamic, collegial department whose 
focus is the study of development, cognition, and perception through 
combined neurobiological, computational, and behavioral research. 
Further information and application instructions regarding each position 
can be found at the following website: 
http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/jobs/faculty.html#bcsfac. Questions 
concerning these positions can be addressed to Dr. Gregory C. DeAngelis, 
chair of the department [email: gdeangelis at cvs.rochester.edu].  Review 
of applications will begin on October 15, 2012.  The University of 
Rochester is an Equal Opportunity Employer and has a strong commitment 
to diversity and actively encourages applications from candidates from 
groups underrepresented in higher education.
