Subject: 3 Group Leader positions at the CIN Tuebingen; deadline Oct 15
Date: 21 September 2012 2:35:01 pm CEST
Dear friends and colleagues,
Hope this finds you well.
Because of the successful bid for a second funding period of the
Centre for Integrative Neuroscience, Tuebingen, where my group is at,
we have 3 openings at the Junior Research Group Leader level. 2 of
these positions are in cognitive neuroscience and in systems
neuroscience. I am hoping that the hires in these areas will do higher
level research in cognition. The official advertisement is below. The
deadline is October 15.
These positions are research only. They are very generously funded,
the start up packages are excellent, possibilities for intramural
funding, and they are tenure track positions, with the possibility of
tenure at the University of Tuebingen. If you know any suitable
candidates, please encourage them to apply!
best
Hong Yu

September 12 2012 - New Junior Research Group Leader Positions at the CIN
Junior Research Group for Neuroscientists at the Werner Reichardt
Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (CIN) in Tübingen
The Werner Reichardt Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (CIN) is an
interdisciplinary institution at the Eberhard Karls University
Tübingen funded by the German Excellence Initiative program. The CIN
strives to deepen our understanding of how the brain generates
function and how brain diseases impair functions. It tries to make use
of newly acquired insights to help people with brain disorders and to
launch new mind- and brain-inspired applications in many areas of
engineering and computer science. Its scientific program is guided by
the conviction that progress in the understanding of brain function
can only be achieved by an integrative approach spanning multiple
levels of organization and pooling the knowledge of researchers from
many different fields.
In order to strengthen specific research areas, the CIN offers three
more junior group leader (JRG) positions with tenure track option for
up-and-coming young scientists with a promising track record, working
in Cognitive Neuroscience, Systems Neuroscience or Neurotechnology.
The CIN strives to increase the number of female scientists. Therefore
qualified female candidates are explicitly encouraged to apply.
Submission deadline is Oct. 15th.
Framework
The intended duration of the position is for 5 years with evaluations
by external experts at regular intervals. In the event of positive
evaluations after 3 years, the JRG will obtain a tenure track option,
which may ultimately lead to a professorship at the University of
Tübingen. Start-up funds as well as substantial funding for personnel
and running costs will be available, but will depend on the
applicant’s qualifications and prior experience. Appointees will be
full members of and active participants in the CIN, which will also
provide laboratory and/or office space. The JRG leader will be
provided with opportunities to contribute to research oriented
training within the framework of the CIN Graduate Training Centre and
the faculties involved in the CIN will provide opportunities for the
German habilitation according to established rules, if desired.
According to German law, severely disabled persons with equal
occupational aptitude will be given preferential consideration.
Application
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, pdf files of up to 5 key
publications, a statement of research achievements and future
directions (not to exceed 3 pages) as well as the names and addresses
of at least three referees. All documents should be submitted
electronically to the Chairman of the Werner Reichardt Centre for
Integrative Neuroscience Tübingen, Prof. Dr. Peter Thier, at
cin(at)uni-tuebingen.de. For further information on the CIN see:
www.cin.uni-tuebingen.de. Submission deadline is Oct. 15th.
