Description:
Tenure-track assistant professor in computational neuroscience and/or
cognition
The Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of
Rochester invites applications from outstanding early-career
candidates in Computational Neuroscience and Cognition for a
tenure-track assistant professorship. This position is part of a new
cluster of faculty positions in Mathematics, Physics, Biology, and the
Brain and Cognitive Sciences supported by the Simons Foundation.
We seek to hire scholars who develop computational theories and models
to deepen our understanding of the brain in real-world, complex, or
naturalistic contexts, or to understand collective decision-making and
communication in groups of individuals. Researchers who develop and
test computational models across levels of representations (from the
brain to the mind) are particularly welcome to apply.
The department’s research in this area utilizes large-scale,
high-resolution electrophysiology and neuroimaging of both individuals
and groups, state-of-the-art augmented and virtual reality, and a wide
range of methods to study behavior from active information seeking in
the fovea, to interactive, naturalistic communication and the
transmission of complex information across individuals, as well as the
joint learning and coordination of group behavior and collective
decision-making. Successful candidates are expected to develop a
highly competitive research program that establishes collaborations
within the department, especially within our cluster of cutting-edge
experimentalists studying neural systems and behavior in naturalistic
settings.
Our department is vibrant and highly interdisciplinary, with strong
ties to other departments across engineering, the arts and sciences,
and the medical campus (incl. Neuroscience, Neurosurgery, Computer
Science, Physics, Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Linguistics, the
Eastman School of Music, and the Goergen Institute for Data Science
and Artificial Intelligence). The City of Rochester, NY is a diverse,
LGBTQ+ friendly, and family-friendly community located on Lake Ontario
adjacent to the Finger Lakes region with a metropolitan population of
1+ million. Rochester also boasts a thriving arts and music culture,
substantial employment opportunities in various sectors, affordable
housing, a rich history of social justice, and easy access to urban,
suburban, and rural neighborhoods.
Questions concerning this position can be addressed to Prof. Florian
Jaeger (fjaeger at ur.rochester.edu), chair of the search committee, or
Prof. Dora Biro (dbiro at ur.rochester.edu), chair of the Department of
Brain and Cognitive Sciences. For more information about the
department, see http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/.
The referenced pay range represents the full base range of pay for
this job. Individual salaries will be determined within the job’s
salary range and established based on market data, experience, and
expertise of the individual, and internal equity considerations.
Qualifications:
Applicants should have an outstanding record of research and a
commitment to teaching and mentorship at the graduate and
undergraduate levels. They should hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) in
a relevant domain.
Where to Apply:
