The Department of Neurological Sciences at the University of Nebraska Medical Center invites applications for a tenure leading faculty position in Clinical Cognitive Neuroscience. This position is part of a new Neuroimaging Section within the department and aims to leverage multiple hires across the School of Medicine in human neuroscience. We welcome applications from any area of cognitive neuroscience, including memory, executive function, visual attention, perception, audition, motor control, emotion, and decision-making. Methodological specialty within neuroimaging is open, but ideally the candidate would benefit from our strong existing program in MEG imaging, and develop a translational, theory-based multimodal neuroimaging program focusing on their area of interest. The successful applicant would join a growing group of cognitive neuroscientists within the department (and across campus) using MEG, fMRI, and other modalities, and hopefully help grow other programs in parallel with building their own.
Successful candidates will have a MD, PhD, or MD/PhD in neuroscience, psychology, or computer science, with postdoctoral training and an excellent publication record for their career stage. Candidates should also have an excellent and sustained record of research and evidence of the potential, or demonstrated ability, to generate extramural funding commensurate with their career stage. Applicants should have the ability and interest to teach graduate courses in cognitive neuroscience, and to mentor PhD students in our growing Neuroscience PhD program.
The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) is a vibrant multidisciplinary research environment with major resources and ample opportunities for training and collaboration. Resources include a 306-sensor MEG system, multiple 3T human MRI scanners, high-definition transcranial direct-current and alternating-current stimulation (HD-tDCS/tACS) equipment, eye-tracking equipment, and a state-of-the-art transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) suite. The UNMC is located in Omaha, with a metro area population of approximately one million, and major attractions and events such as the College World Series.
Please submit a letter detailing current research and teaching interests, a curriculum vitae, a list of the applicant’s five most important publications, and contact information for three individuals who will provide letters of recommendation at a later time. Applications should be submitted online at: https://unmc.peopleadmin.com/postings/36674 . Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Start dates are negotiable, but ideally before the close of 2018. Individuals from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
