Cognitive Neuroscientist
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
The Department of Neurology and the Biomedical Research Imaging Center
at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are jointly
recruiting a cognitive neuroscientist with expertise in functional
magnetic resonance imaging for appointment as associate or full
professor on the tenure track. The qualified candidate will have an M.D.
and/or Ph.D. and an established record of excellence in research as
reflected by peer-reviewed publications and independent external
funding. He/she will be expected to build a research program in human
cognitive neuroscience that will utilize the state-of the art human
imaging facilities in Biomedical Research Imaging Center including a 3T
Siemens Allegra head-only MR scanner and a Siemens TIM Trio 3T whole
body MR scanner. Both are fully dedicated for research only. In
addition, an integrated Siemens whole body MR-PET scanner has been
purchased and is expected to be delivered in the near future. In 2013,
the Biomedical Research Imaging Center will re-locate to a new 7 story
300,000 square foot research building on the UNC Chapel Hill School of
Medicine campus.
UNC Chapel Hill is a US News and World Report 2008 top 20 medical
school. We offer a rich academic environment with extensive
opportunities for collaborative research within the institution. The
Department of Neurology comprises 27 full-time faculty and ranks 19th
nationally in NIH funding. The Biomedical Research Imaging Center
(BRIC) serves researchers across the UNC System as a central facility
for the acquisition, processing, analysis, storage, and retrieval of
images. Formed in 2003 to support image-based biomedical research, it
provides resources and an environment that promotes
multi-disciplinary/multi-departmental research interactions.
Interested candidates should send a cover letter, CV and three letters
