Open Rank Tenured/Tenure-Track Neural Engineering

Open Rank Tenured, Tenure-Track Neural Engineering|
University of Virginia

 

The School of Engineering & Applied Science at the University of Virginia (UVA) seeks candidates for open rank, tenure and tenure-track faculty positions as part of the Neural Engineering cross-cutting initiative. This cross-Grounds initiative builds on momentum of the UVA Brain Institute (https://healthfoundation.virginia.edu/uva-brain-institute) and will help promote collaborative activity across the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Medicine, and the School of Engineering & Applied Science, ensuring continuing prominence of neuroscience scholarship, education, and research. Successful candidates will be expected to collaborate with colleagues across Grounds, as well as with the UVA Brain Institute to advance the University's strategic interest in neuroscience, broadly conceived. Neural engineering broadly encompasses research that lies at the intersection of engineering and the study of the brain. In this area, engineering design, modeling and/or tools benefit the study or treatment of neurons, the nervous system and the brain. Example research areas include neural imaging (e.g., MRI), neural signal/image analysis, neuromodulation, and analysis of neural coding. Other research areas connected to neural engineering will be considered.

 

Candidates are expected to engage in externally funded research, to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and to perform service for the institution and professional organizations. Rank, tenure-status, and compensation are commensurate with experience. Department appointments are determined by candidate areas of expertise.

 

A Ph.D. in engineering or science by the time of appointment is required. Candidates must have a record of excellence in research, as appropriate for the candidate's rank, and a commitment to teaching excellence. Evidence of an explicit commitment to diversity and of advancing understanding and outcomes for underrepresented groups is desired. Appointment with tenure requires documented excellence in research and teaching, and an emerging national reputation. The successful candidate will have a research focus in the above-mentioned or related areas. Preference will be given to candidates that are collaborative in nature and would complement or expand the school's current strengths in neural engineering. Applicants with a respect for diversity and a passion for making a positive impact on the world in a collaborative environment are strongly encouraged to apply.
