Bowdoin College’s Program of Neuroscience invites applications for a full-time tenure-track faculty appointment in Neuroscience at the Assistant Professor level, beginning July 1, 2026. We seek applicants whose research involves methodological approaches in artificial intelligence (AI) to study brain mechanisms. The subdiscipline within Neuroscience is open (e.g., cognitive, computational, theoretical). A PhD in Neuroscience, Psychology, or related discipline is expected by the date of appointment; post-doctoral research is preferred. The teaching load is three courses per year and anticipated to include a mid-level lab course using AI methods, an upper-level seminar, and a Neuroscience elective or introductory level course related to the candidate’s area of expertise. Bowdoin is particularly interested in candidates dedicated to undergraduate teaching and with a promise of long-term successful research and/or creative work.
