 The Departments of Biology and Mathematics and the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Oregon announce a tenure track faculty position in computational neuroscience at the rank of assistant professor with ultimate department and institute affiliations flexible. Theorists seeking synergistic interactions with experimentalists in design, analysis and interpretation of research linking gene function, neuronal activity and behavior in model organisms and humans are especially encouraged to apply.  This new position is part of an integrated effort to strengthen research at the nexus of mathematics and biology at the University of Oregon.  It also advances a broader “Neurons to Minds” initiative that includes multiple new positions in systems and cognitive neuroscience to accelerate discovery in the neuronal basis of behavior and cognition.

 Minimum qualifications for candidates are a Ph.D. in an appropriate field (e.g. neuroscience, biology, mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, statistics, computer science, etc.), commitment to excellent teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and an outstanding research record.  Candidates should have the ability to work effectively within a diverse community.  Applications will be received online at https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/UO/IONMATHBIO.  Candidates are asked to submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae including a publication list, a statement of research accomplishments and future research plans, a description of teaching experience and philosophy, and three letters of  recommendation (sent independently).  Submission of 1-3 selected reprints is encouraged.  To be assured of consideration, application materials should be uploaded by November 15, 2016, but the position will remain open until filled.  Requests for information can be sent to Dr. Shawn Lockery, Chair, Computational Neuroscience Search Committee (shawn@uoregon.edu).
