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 ___________________________________________________ http://www.cin.uni-tuebingen.de/press-amp-news/news.php?newsid=64 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.
