The School of Informatics invites applications for an appointment to a
Lecturership or Readership in Neuroinformatics. 

You should be able to demonstrate an outstanding research record and commitment
to excellence in teaching. You will be expected to play a key role in the
EPSRC/MRC Doctoral Training Centre in Neuroinformatics that is hosted within
the School. This unique interdisciplinary training programme encompasses
computational and cognitive neuroscience, software systems and tools to support
neuroscience research and neurally inspired systems including neurorobotics and
neural engineering.  Candidates engaged in computational modelling research are
particularly encouraged to apply. 

You will be based in the Institute for Adaptive and Neural Computation, and
will be expected to develop collaborative links and joint activities both
nationally and internationally, with respect to, for example, the current UK
initiatives in Systems Biology and in Cognitive Systems and the new

We offer you the opportunity to take part in the growth of one of the leading
neuroinformatics centres, as this exciting new field develops. Interaction with
the University's leading researchers is encouraged, across a broad range of
relevant areas within Informatics and more widely within the University,
particularly with the large neuroscience community. Research within Informatics
is supported by substantial funding from EPSRC, ESRC, MRC, BBRSC and the
Wellcome Trust and overseas research councils, as well as through a significant
portfolio of industrial collaborations and research contracts.
