The College of Arts and Sciences at American University (Washington,  
DC) invites applications for a full-time, tenure-line, Assistant  
Professor position, beginning in August 2013, in computational  
neuroscience (broadly defined, including but not limited to neural

Washington area. (For example, NIH is three metro stops from the AU  
campus.) The College of Arts and Sciences offers a variety of degrees  
at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels. For more
