This CRC appointment opportunity is intended for emerging scholars in Human Neuroimaging, at the rank of assistant or associate professor (or those who possess the necessary qualifications to be appointed to these levels). Ideal areas of research include neuroscience of ageing, neurorehabilitation, or behaviour and cognition.

Tier 2 Chairs are intended for exceptional emerging scholars (i.e., candidate must have been an active researcher in their field for fewer than 10 years at the time of nomination).
