The School of Computer Science and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC) at Carnegie Mellon University are jointly soliciting applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in computational neuroscience.  The successful applicant will be expected to carry out a research program focusing on the theoretical analysis of computational properties of neural systems and/or behaviors arising from such systems. This program can cover any aspect of cognition, including perception, memory, language, learning or the planning and coordination of action. Theoretically-oriented CNBC faculty have many opportunities to collaborate with experimentalists using a variety of techniques, including two-photon imaging, multiunit electrophysiology, fMRI, EEG, and behavioral psychophysics. Researchers with a strong background in mathematical analysis, dynamical systems theory, probabilistic and statistical learning approaches, or other analytical techniques are especially encouraged to apply. Carnegie Mellon University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer.

The deadline for initial review of applications is February 1, 2010, but later applications will be considered until the position is filled.  Applications, including a CV, a statement of research interests, copies of relevant publications, and three letters of reference, should be submitted electronically at the following URL:
