<p>The European Neuroscience Institute in Göttingen (ENI-G) Germany announces positions for</p>
<p style="text-align:center"><b>Group Leaders in Neuroscience</b></p>
<p>About us:
The ENI-G, a partnership between the University Medical Center Göttingen
and the Max-Planck-Society, provides an exceptional environment for
excellent young researchers in the neurosciences. </p>
<p>We seek:
Applicants with an outstanding record of research in either neuroscience
or with excitable cells in general. Possible topics range from
molecular and cellular physiology, neuronal circuit analysis, imaging
(at all scales), as well as computational and cognitive neuroscience,
with emphasis on health and disease. Currently there is a focus of the
group leaders of the ENI-G on physiology, sensory processing and systems
neuroscience in multiple species, ranging from invertebrates to humans.
Research that either complements or goes beyond these already
established focal points at the ENI-G is welcome.</p>
<p>We offer:
Group leaders a maximal amount of independence while also providing the
support necessary to build up a new research program. ENI-G will provide
office and laboratory space as well as a generous start-up package.
State of the art equipment, including dedicated microscopy
infrastructure, animal facilities, a precision workshop, IT and
administrative support are available in house. In addition, unparalleled
opportunities for scientific collaboration and interaction exist within
the Göttingen Research Campus, including the University of Göttingen
and its Medical School, three Max Planck Institutes (Biophysical
Chemistry, Experimental Medicine, and Dynamics and Self Organization),
the German Primate Center and the Bernstein Center for Computational
Neuroscience. We will work closely with the recently established cluster
of Excellence "Multiscale Bioimaging: from Molecular Machines to
Networks of Excitable Cells (<a href="https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/579892.html">https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/579892.html</a>)"
as well as the newly starting Heart and Brain Center Göttingen.
In addition to the excellent research environment that ENI-G provides,
its independent group leaders can benefit from the resources and funding
opportunities offered by the Collaborative Research Centers (CRC / SFB)
within the Göttingen Neuroscience community. The ENI-G also houses the
distinguished graduate program ‘IMPRS Neurosciences’, facilitating
interactions with excellent students as well as opportunities for
teaching. </p>
<p>You will have an experienced mentor by your side, receive broad
administrative support, professional leadership training, and help with
relocation and establishing a life in Germany, including visa
application, housing, schooling, and day-care. Successful group leaders
will have the opportunity to obtain a permanent position after a two
step internal and external evaluation.</p>
<p>We look forward to:
Applications from outstanding researchers who are enthusiastic about
pursuing an independent research program in an environment that supports
cutting edge research. The successful candidate is expected to develop a
vigorous research program and should have received a Ph.D. within the
past five years. Relevant research training and outstanding research
reflected by high-impact publications are a prerequisite for
consideration. The applicant is expected to acquire competitive
third-party funding, and eligibility for ERC Starting Grant / DFG Emmy
Noether level funding (or comparable) is a requirement. Details about
funding opportunities can be found <a href="http://www.eni-g.de/career/group-leader/funding-opportunities">here</a>.
Interested candidates should submit their curriculum vitae and record
of publications highlighting their 3-5 most significant publications, as
well as a research statement (3-5 pages), preferably in one pdf.
Application deadline: 17.3.2019.
