Center for Systems Neuroscience Distinguished Fellows Openings for 2022
Deadline Jan. 28, 2022
Two post-doctoral positions will be available as Center for Systems Neuroscience Distinguished Fellows at Boston University for new applicants with extensive experience in cutting-edge systems neuroscience methodologies in animals or humans (e.g., calcium imaging, optogenetics, recording of large populations of individual neurons, labeling of cell-type specific populations of neurons, neuroimaging, advanced data analysis and computational modeling). Funding is available for candidates at the post-doctoral level to work for two years as Center for Systems Neuroscience Distinguished Fellows with faculty from our neuroscience community in all colleges at Boston University. Potential candidates should be recruited by one of the individual faculty in the Boston University Center for Systems Neuroscience (https://www.bu.edu/csn/people/faculty/). The faculty member can then submit the candidate CV and a one page description of an innovative research project using new technology to the Center for Systems Neuroscience Distinguished Fellow program for selection of candidates. This is not intended as bridge funding for post-doctoral fellows already at Boston University. Applications should be submitted to the CSN administrator junshen@bu.edu. Review of all applications by the CSN Executive Committee will begin on Jan. 28, 2022 with start dates in summer or as appropriate. These post-doctoral funds provide up to two years of funding with a particular emphasis on using or developing new technologies in faculty laboratories, and the expectation that candidates would apply for independent post-doctoral funding or shift to faculty funding after two years. We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We are a VEVRAA Federal Contractor.
Requirements:
Candidates should have extensive experience with development and use of cutting-edge methodologies in systems neuroscience in animals or humans (e.g., calcium imaging, optogenetics, recording of large populations of individual neurons, labeling of cell-type specific populations of neurons, neuroimaging, advanced data analysis and computational modeling). Candidates should have a PhD in a field related to neuroscience with publications demonstrating their effective use of innovative methodologies.
