EPFL Center for Neuroprosthetics / Faculty Positions at the
interface of Neuroscience and Bioengineering
The Institute of Bioengineering and the Brain-Mind Institute at EPFL invite applications for faculty positions at all ranks, from *tenure track assistant professor to full professor*, for the newly-launched *Center for Neuroprosthetics*. The Center, situated between the School of Engineering and the School of Life Sciences, seeks outstanding individuals working in (1) hearing, and (2) other areas of neuroprosthetics, such as invasive and non-invasive sensing and stimulation in restoration of motor control or sensory perception such as vision. The open faculty positions are offered in an environment of both theoretical and experimental research, rich for the development of novel enabling technologies as well as for seeking deeper understanding of fundamental mechanisms underlying the field of neuroprosthetics.
The School of Engineering and the Institute of Bioengineering offer strength in areas that include bio-MEMS/NEMS, bioelectronics, robotics and learning, integrated systems, biomaterials, biophotonics, molecular and computational systems biology, and stem cell biotechnology. The Brain-Mind Institute offers a broader context of neuroscience, with strengths in cognition, behavior, cellular and molecular neuroscience, computational neuroscience, and neurodegeneration, among others.
Excellent experimental infrastructure are available including core facilities in animal physiological and behavioral phenomics, animal and human imaging, quantitative light microscopy, genomics and proteomics, micro- and nano-fabrication, and electron microscopy and surface analysis.
Successful candidates are expected to initiate independent, creative research programs and participate in undergraduate and graduate teaching. Internationally competitive salaries, start-up resources and benefits are offered.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae with a list of publications, a concise statement of research and teaching interests, and the names and addresses (including e-mail) of at least five referees. Applications should be uploaded to:
*http://neuroprosthetics-rec.
The deadline for applications is *1 February 2010*.
Enquiries may be addressed to:
*Prof. Jeffrey A. Hubbell
*E-mail: *neuroprosthetics-rec@epfl.ch*
