Systems and Computational Neuroscience at Emory University

描述(由申请人提供)：我们希望通过招聘生物系的初级助理教授和物理系、数学系和计算机科学系的兼职助理教授来培养和加强埃默里大学的系统和计算神经科学。一个由4名NIH支持的生物系研究人员组成的小组，他们都从事神经生理学和计算神经科学，将作为这一新招聘的焦点小组。这位新员工将通过提供急需的系统专业知识来加强和扩大这一核心群体，并将通过神经科学(NS)和生物医学工程研究生计划(BME)的跨部门神经科学研究生计划(NS)和生物医学工程研究生计划(BME)，加强与物理系、数学系和计算机科学系的计算生物学家的联系，并通过直接合作与埃默里大学(Emory University)健康科学中心(主要是医学院和机构间华莱士·H·库尔特生物医学工程系(BME))的更大生物医学研究综合体建立更大的联系。这一招聘将对埃默里更大的神经科学和计算生物学社区特别有利，因为系统层面的研究，特别是感觉系统和感觉运动整合在我们的教职员工中没有很好的代表性。新教员的实验室将设在罗林斯研究大楼(2152号和2158号房间--1100平方英尺)二楼的生物系主任维克托·科尔塞斯负责的太空生物系，紧挨着生物系的4名计算神经科学家。在生物系(埃默里艺术与科学学院的一部分)，终身教职跟踪助理教授的任命通常为6年，之后考虑晋升为终身教职，等待成功的第4年审查。新的教员将承担有限的教学责任，与P30奖项的要求相称，预计将加入神经科学(NS)和生物医学工程(BME)的研究生课程，因此将有机会聘请研究生担任研究助理。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We seek to foster and enhance Systems and Computational Neuroscience at Emory University by hiring a new assistant professor with primary appointment in the Department of Biology and adjunct appointments in the Departments of Physics, and Mathematics and Computer Science. A group of 4 NIH supported investigators in the Department of Biology, all of whom do both neurophysiology and computational neuroscience, will serve as the focus group for this new hire. This new hire will strengthen and broaden this core group by providing much needed systems expertise and will foster greater links to computational biologists in the Departments of Physics, and Mathematics and Computer Science and to the greater biomedical research complex of the health science centers of Emory University (principally the School of Medicine and the inter-institutional Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University) through the interdepartmental Graduate Program in Neuroscience (NS) and the Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering (BME) and through direct collaboration. This hire would be particularly beneficial to the greater neuroscience and computational biology communities at Emory because systems level research, particularly sensory systems and sensory motor integration is not well represented in our faculty. The new faculty will have his/her lab located in the Department of Biology in space committed by Victor Corces, Chair of Biology on the second floor of the Rollins Research Building (Rooms 2152 and 2158- -1,100 ft2) in immediate proximity to the 4 computational neuroscientists in the Department of Biology. In the Department of Biology (part of the Emory College of Arts and Sciences), tenure track assistant professor appointments are normally for 6 years after which promotion to tenure is considered pending a successful 4th year review. The new faculty member will have limited teaching responsibilities, commensurate with the requirements of the P30 award and will be expected to join the graduate programs in Neuroscience (NS) and Biomedical Engineering (BME) and thus will have access to graduate students as research assistants.
