Assistant Professor in Computational Neuroscience
The College of Arts and Sciences at American University (Washington, DC) invites applications for a full-time, tenure-line, Assistant Professor position, beginning in August 2013, in computational neuroscience (broadly defined, including but not limited to neural networks, simulation, image processing, and bio-informatics). The appointee's tenure home and departmental affiliation will depend on his or her research background, but we are most interested in applicants who would have at least a joint affiliation with the Department of Computer Science. Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant discipline. Teaching and postdoctoral experience are preferred.
Responsibilities include: teaching and curriculum development; establishing an internationally recognized research program, preferably one that can involve undergraduate research participation; strengthening connections to neurosciences across campus; and service to the appointee's home department and the wider university. American University has made other recent hires in neuroscience, is presently seeking to fill other positions in Computer Science, and benefits from proximity to other scientific institutions in the Washington area. (For example, NIH is three metro stops from the AU campus.) The College of Arts and Sciences offers a variety of degrees at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels. For more information about our programs, visit http://www.american.edu/cas/.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, and research statement, and applicants must arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent directly to the search committee.
