Joint junior faculty position in Computational Neuroscience
Eero Simoncelli
The Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY), and the Center for Computational Neuroscience at the Flatiron Institute, invite applications for a joint position, with start date of August 2026. We seek an innovative scholar whose research integrates computational approaches with empirical neuroscience to investigate the mechanisms underlying cognition. The ideal candidate will have a strong record of research in perception, planning, decision-making, memory, or animal communication and/or human language, and a doctoral degree in Physics, Math, Engineering, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Psychology, or Computer Science.
The CUNY appointment will be in the M.S. Program in Cognitive Neuroscience. Responsibilities include research, teaching, mentoring, and service. The candidate is expected to generate an active, externally funded research program, and to participate in graduate teaching and research training. Teaching duties may include courses in computational methods and advanced courses in neuroscience. Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and to mentoring graduate students in a diverse and inclusive academic environment. The Flatiron appointment will be a Visiting Scholar position in the Center for Computational Neuroscience (CCN).
Applications must be submitted to both positions - these can be identical, although applicants may wish to highlight specific aspects of their experience or interests in the cover later for each submission. Further details:
