Tenure-Track Investigator
Dense Reconstruction of the Nervous System/Connectomics


The Division of Intramural Research of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), NIH has begun an international search for outstanding investigators for tenure-track positions in the area of circuit/system neuroscience. In particular, we seek neuroscientists using high resolution, high-throughput imaging technologies to reconstruct the detailed structure and connectivity of nervous system circuits. The NINDS Division of Intramural Research boasts active basic, translational and clinical research programs in neuroscience, neurological disorders and stroke. These programs operate within the NIH Intramural Research Program, one of the largest and most active basic and clinical research environments in the world, and are a central component of a vibrant neuroscience community at NIH. The successful individual will initiate and direct an independent research program focused on developing and applying high-throughput reconstruction techniques to important problems in circuit function, development or degeneration. The candidate will have earned a Ph.D., MD or MD/PhD degree and will employ excellent scientific and communication skills to configure an original, productive and collaborative research program. Outstanding candidates who have established internationally recognized highly accomplished research programs may also be considered for a tenured position to build a dynamic, productive research group. Laboratory facilities, shared research facilities, research funds and salary are competitive with premier academic institutions.

Applicants should send curriculum vitae, bibliography, statement of research interests, and have three letters of reference sent to: Dr. Jeffrey Diamond, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, c/o Nhuyen Quach, Office of the Scientific Director (please find fullmailing address below by clicking View Contact Details) or to email click Apply Now below.
