Tenure Stream Position in Computational Neuroscience

The Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto Scarborough
invites applications for a tenure-stream appointment in the field of
Computational Neuroscience. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant
Professor and will begin on July 1, 2013.

We encourage applications from all candidates with an excellent research
record in Computational Neuroscience, but especially those interested in
combining computational methods with state-of-the-art brain imaging
techniques. We are particularly interested in candidates who are developing
new, cutting edge techniques for analyzing and understanding brain imaging
data in service of fostering a better understanding of important,
theoretically motivated issues in cognitive neuroscience. Candidates
applying these techniques to study important theoretical issues in
behavioral, clinical, developmental, or social neuroscience will also be
given serious consideration.

The successful candidate will be expected to demonstrate excellence in
teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels, to build an
externally-funded vibrant research program and laboratory, and to undertake
undergraduate and graduate research supervision and teaching. They will also
be expected to contribute to the proposed Graduate Program in Brain Imaging
at the University of Toronto Scarborough, and to develop strong research
collaborations with researchers across all three University of Toronto
campuses and local teaching hospitals.

The successful candidate must have a PhD at the start date of the
appointment, preferably in psychology, neuroscience, computer science,
applied mathematics, physics, or a closely related field. They must also
have an established record of high quality scholarly research and
publications, and demonstrated commitment to and innovation in teaching.
The successful candidate will also be expected to perform standard
professional and administrative activities typical of a department and/or
university. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
