The University of Zurich and the Swiss Federal InstituteofTechnology
invite applications for the position
of
Professor in Neuroinformatics
in the Institute ofNeuroinformatics (INI) to complement
and extend the vigorous research and teaching
initiatives of this young and growing Institute.
The intellectual and technological need to understand
biological intelligence at a deep level has encouraged
rapid growth ofnew research at the interface
between neuroscience, computing and engineering.
The INI fosters this important development
through its research, teaching and graduate training,
and specialist workshop programs.
The INI is a joint institute of the University of Zurich
and the Swiss Federal Institute ofTechnology. INI
pursues acoordinated research program by multidisciplinary
teams composed of about 40 biologists,
physicists, psychologists, engineers and computer
scientists. These scientists explore the structure and
function of nervous systems and exploit new developments
in silicon technology and computers to develop
models and hardware implementations of processing
in the nervous system. Their research focuses
on sensory and motor interfaces with the world
and the central processing that leads to behavior.
Applicants are expected to be internationally recognized
personalities with strong research records. The
researchof the applicant should bedirected towards
the theory and practice of systems integration and
behavior, with a strong interest in experimental neuroscience.
Inorder to strengthen interdisciplinary research,
the applicant’s research interests should
overlap with existing interests in the INI, and link
with other institutes of the University of Zurich and
departments of the Swiss Federal Institute ofTechnology
(for example: Biology, Brain Research, Computer
Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics
and Physics).
Please submit applications with acurriculum vitae
and a list of publications by November 1, 2005 to
the Dekan der Mathematisch-naturwissenschaftlichen
Fakultät der Universität Zürich, Prof. Dr.
Peter Truöl, Winterthurerstr. 190, CH-8057 Zürich,
Switzerland. The application materials should also
be submitted in a single Word or PDF file to
