Computational Neuroscience Faculty University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA
The University of Minnesota seeks 2 scientists with documented backgrounds and interests in using brain imaging and computational neuroscience to understand brain function in health and disease.
The University of Minnesota seeks to fill two newly-created positions at the level of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and/or Professor. For each position, rank and tenure status will be commensurate with experience. The research emphasis can be basic, translational or disease-focused neuroscience using innovative modeling and data analysis techniques. Appropriate tenure home departments would depend on the expertise, background and interest and could include: Neuroscience, Radiology, Psychiatry, Neurology, Psychology, Computer Science and Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or Electrical and Computer Engineering. Irrespective of tenure home department, the successful candidate will be housed at the CMRR, which is an interdepartmental and interdisciplinary research laboratory that provides state-of-the-art instrumentation, expertise, and infrastructure for high field MRI research. CMRR plays a key role in the NIH’s Human Connectome Project and is equipped with magnets ranging in field strength from 3 to 10.5 Tesla for human imaging and up to 16.4 T for small animal model studies.
