Tenure-Track or Tenured Faculty: Human Neuroscience of Brain Network Function and Brain Injury

The University of Chicago's Department of Neurology in the Biological Sciences Division is searching for a tenured or tenure-track faculty member at any rank working in the general area of network-neuroscience in human subjects with a focus on cognition and brain injury. The appointee will be expected to develop a productive and impactful research program and to contribute to the educational mission of the department, which includes teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels and training of graduate and post-graduate Ph.D. and M.D. researchers. Academic rank and compensation (including a generous package of fringe benefits) are dependent upon qualifications.

The Department has many opportunities for collaboration in the areas of cerebrovascular disease, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis. In addition, the resources and environment for research at the University of Chicago are excellent, including a vibrant neuroscience community organized around the Neuroscience Institute (https://neuroscience.uchicago.edu/), a research-dedicated MRI facility, and an array of instrumentation for human neuroscience available through the Center for Neurocognitive Outcomes Improvement Research in the Department of Neurology (https://cnoir.bsd.uchicago.edu/).
 
Prior to the start of employment, qualified applicants must:1) have a doctoral degree or equivalent in Biological or Biomedical Sciences or related disciplines and 2) have completed postdoctoral training.

We especially welcome applications from candidates with research interests that fall broadly within the human-neurosciences of brain networks and brain injury, including topics and methods such as lesion-network mapping, structural and functional MRI connectivity, neuromodulation, large-dataset curation, and assessment of cognition, memory, and functional outcomes. Publication record and ability to obtain extramural grants will be considered.
 
To be considered, those interested must apply through The University of Chicago‚ Academic Recruitment job board, which uses Interfolio to accept applications: http://apply.interfolio.com/140407.
