*Assistant Professor - Brain and Cognitive Sciences*

*Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)*

*Cambridge, MA*



The Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences (BCS) at MIT seeks multiple
tenure-track faculty at the assistant professor level.



Affiliations with the Picower Institute for Learning & Memory and the
McGovern Institute

for Brain Research are possible. We are most excited about candidates who
work in one or more of the following two areas:

·         Computational approaches to neuroscience and cognition. Possible
areas of focus include but are not limited to: statistical analysis of
neural data and neural signal processing; computational modeling of neural
circuits, of neural population representations and transformations; and/or
of human cognitive processes. Candidates with the ability to build bridges
across empirical domains are especially attractive. An affiliation with
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), the Computer Science
and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), or other allied departments
is possible. The Department aims to make multiple hires in this area.



·         Cognitive neuroscience in humans and/or non-human primates. The
ideal candidate would be conducting research that informs our understanding
of cognition while bridging levels of analysis and using multiple methods,
e.g. ECoG, fMRI, electrophysiology, MEG, computational modeling, genetics
and reverse engineering approaches.



*Responsibilities:*

·         Develop and lead independent, internationally competitive
research programs

·         Share in our commitment to excellence in undergraduate and
graduate education by teaching courses and mentoring graduate and
undergraduate students.
