The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit is looking to recruit a lecturer (roughly equivalent to an assistant professor). We seek someone with interests from across the range of theoretical neuroscience and machine learning that would complement and bolster our existing strengths in neural representation, neural computation, and foundational and applied aspects of learning and Bayesian statistics. There is also the opportunity to run a human psychophysics lab in the service of testing theories. Remuneration will be at a level appropriate to the international standing of the successful candidate.
The Gatsby Unit was set up at University College London as a research institute devoted to computational neuroscience and machine learning. We have core funding for four faculty, five postdocs and around ten PhD students. We have no undergraduate programme, so only graduate-level teaching is required. We are located in Queen Square, London, in close proximity to the Institutes of Neurology and Cognitive Neuroscience and the Functional Imaging Lab, and also have close ties with the Departments of Anatomy, Computer Science, Psychology, Physiology and Statistics at UCL and with groups in Physics and Experimental Psychology at Cambridge and beyond. Applications, including a CV, a statement of research interests and accomplishments and full contact details for three referees should be sent by 14th March 2003 by email to Alexandra Boss at [EMAIL PROTECTED], or by mail to her at Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, UCL, Alexandra House, 17 Queen Square, London WC1N 3AR, UK. For further information, please see www.gatsby.ucl.ac.uk or contact Peter Dayan at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
