tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professor of Systems Neuroscience, your
research programme will centre on bridging experimental and theoretical
approaches to provide mechanistic insights in cognition and behaviour.
Ideally, you have a focus on human neuroimaging using MEG, and
potentially combine this with experimental approaches involving animal
models for cognition and behaviour.
<br class="">
<br class="">You should be a well-trained academic with an internationally
visible profile as evidenced by publications in top-ranked scientific
journals. You should hold a PhD degree in systems neuroscience,
neurobiology, cognitive neuroscience or a related discipline. We expect
you will contribute to the training of undergraduate and graduate
Science students and also students enrolled in the Research Master’s
programme of Cognitive Neuroscience of the Donders Institute.
Furthermore, you will supervise PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers
and non-academic technical staff.
<br class="">
<br class="">The position is intended for a junior faculty member to be appointed
at the Assistant Professor level, but if you are an experienced
candidate with an established research programme, external funding and
significant teaching experience, you may be considered for an
appointment at the Associate Professor level.

<h2 class="vac"><font face="Arial" class=""><span style="font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal;" class="">Work environment</span></font></h2><p class="Aansluitend"><font face="Arial" class="">The Donders
Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour is a world-class
interfaculty research centre housing more than 600 researchers devoted
to understanding the mechanistic underpinnings of the human mind.
Research at the Donders Institute is focused around four themes: 1.
Language and communication, 2. Perception, action and control, 3.
Plasticity and memory, and 4. Brain networks and neuronal communication.
The Donders Institute was assessed by an international evaluation
committee as ‘excellent’ and recognised as a ‘very stimulating
environment, not only for top researchers but also for young talent’.
The Donders Institute fosters a collaborative, multidisciplinary,
supportive research environment with a diverse international staff.
English is the lingua franca at the Institute.
<br class="">
<br class="">You will have your primary location at the Donders Centre for
Cognitive Neuroimaging and will be embedded at the Donders Centre for
Neuroscience of Radboud University’s Science Faculty. The Donders
Institute has an MEG system (CTF, 275 channels), three 3T MRI systems,
plus a 7T whole body system based in nearby Essen, EEG laboratories
including a baby research lab, and NIRS and TMS laboratories. Scanning
access to these facilities does not directly depend on the acquisition
of third party funding.
