Researcher (Joint Position with NYU CNS), Center for Computational
Neuroscience

The Center for Neural Science (https://www.cns.nyu.edu/) at New York
University (NYU), jointly with the Center for Computational Neuroscience
(CCN) at the Flatiron Institute of the Simons Foundation, invites
applications for an open rank joint position, with a preference for junior
or mid-career candidates. We seek exceptional candidates that use
computational frameworks and methods to develop concepts, models, and tools
for understanding brain function. Areas of interest include sensory
representation and perception, memory, decision-making, adaptation and
learning, and motor control.

During the academic year 2021-2022, the position will initially be a
full-time position at NYU. Beginning academic year 2022-2023, the position
will become a joint appointment between NYU and CCN, with the appointee
spending half time in each location (both in lower Manhattan). The NYU
position is a tenure-line faculty position at the Assistant, Associate, or
full Professor level depending on the candidate’s background and
experience.  The holder of an Assistant level appointment will be
considered for promotion to a tenured Associate professorship according to
NYU's standard policies and procedures. The corresponding position at CCN
may be Associate or Full Research Scientist, or Group Leader, again
depending on candidate experience. The initial appointment is for three
years, and is renewable, subject to satisfactory progress in research.

A Ph.D. in a relevant field, such as neuroscience, engineering, physics or
applied mathematics, is required. The responsibilities for this joint
position include but are not limited to: establishing a research program
with a significant computational component; participating in the
international neuroscience research community;  teaching at the
undergraduate and graduate levels at NYU; contributing to the scientific
culture and activities at the Flatiron Institute by collaborating with
other researchers, hiring and supervising junior researchers, and assisting
with the organization of CCN-related conferences, workshops, group seminars
and summer programs.

Review of applications will begin 28 March 2021.

Important: in order to be considered for this joint appointment, candidates
must submit their application in two places:

To NYU at: https://apply.interfolio.com/83845

To CCN at:

https://simonsfoundation.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/simonsfoundationcareers/job/162-Fifth-Avenue/Researcher--Joint-Position-with-NYU-CNS---Center-for-Computational-Neuroscience_R0000761

Application materials should include a brief cover letter, a statement
describing current and planned research and teaching activities, a
curriculum vitae including a list of publications, and names and contact
information for three references.

Because diversity and inclusion are an important part of the NYU mission,
candidates should include a paragraph in their cover letter indicating how
diversity and inclusion figure into their past, present, and future
teaching, research, and community engagement. (Additional information can
be found here:
http://as.nyu.edu/departments/facultydiversity/recruitment/diversity-statements.html
).

All applications will be reviewed by a joint committee consisting of
members from CNS and CCN.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

Education

A successful candidate will have a Ph.D.  in neuroscience, physics,
engineering, applied mathematics or a related discipline. One or more years
of postdoctoral research experience is desirable.

Experience

   -

   Demonstrated abilities in establishing a neuroscience-related research
   program, embracing the opportunities offered by a joint position between
   NYU CNS and CCN. The research program must include a significant
   computational component.
   -

   A record of excellence in scientific publication.
   -

   Ability to teach effectively at both the undergraduate and the graduate
   level.
   -

   Strong oral and written communication skills, supporting collaboration
   and cooperation across traditional disciplinary boundaries.
   -

   Knowledge of software development and dissemination, either for
   scientific simulation, model fitting, experimental design, or analysis of
   modern high-throughput experimental data acquisition, is desirable.

the diversity of the United States as well as the global society in which
we live. We strongly encourage applications from women, racial and ethnic
minorities, and other individuals who are under-represented in the
profession, across color, creed, race, ethnic and national origin, physical
ability, gender and sexual identity, or any other legally protected basis.
NYU affirms the value of differing perspectives on the world as we strive
to build the strongest possible university with the widest reach. To learn

About the Flatiron Institute

The Flatiron Institute (https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron) is a
major, new internal scientific unit of the Simons Foundation.  It consists
of five Centers – Astrophysics, Quantum Physics, Mathematics, Biology, and
Neuroscience) each focused on the computational aspects of a particular
area of basic science. It aims to generate original scientific discoveries,
along with new computational infrastructure supporting and enabling such
discoveries by the community at large.

The newly formed Center for Computational Neuroscience aims to develop
models, principles and conceptual frameworks that deepen our knowledge of
brain function — both in health and in disease. CCN takes a “systems"
neuroscience approach, building models that are motivated by fundamental
principles, that are constrained by properties of neural circuits and
responses, and that provide insights into perception, cognition and
behavior. This cross-disciplinary approach not only leads to the design of
new model-driven scientific experiments, but also encapsulates current
functional descriptions of the brain that can spur the development of new
engineered computational systems, especially in the realm of machine
learning.



Simons Foundation Diversity Commitment

Many of the greatest ideas and discoveries come from a diverse mix of
minds, backgrounds and experiences, and we are committed to cultivating an
inclusive work environment. The Simons Foundation actively seeks a diverse
applicant pool and encourages candidates of all backgrounds to apply. We
provide equal opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment
without regard to race, religion, color, age, sex, national origin, sexual
orientation, gender identity, genetic disposition, neurodiversity,
disability, veteran status, or any other protected category under federal,
state and local law.
