<p><b>Professor and Scientific Director, York Visual Neurophysiology
Centre, York University</b><br>
</p>
<p>York University (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.yorku.ca/">https://www.yorku.ca/</a>) seeks a Scientific
Director for our current and planned visual neuroscience
facilities. This individual will be appointed as a full-time
tenured professorial position at the Associate Professor or Full
Professor level, to commence as early as January 1, 2020.<br>
</p>
<p>The Scientific Director appointment will last 5 years (renewable)
and will oversee, as Principal Investigator, the $8.2M equipment
budget component of a planned $32M neurophysiology facility. The
individual will provide guidance for ongoing laboratory facility
planning and development, for recruiting facility staff and
relevant faculty, and for coordinating research activities and
scientific staff within the facility. This is a Research-Enhanced
Faculty position partially funded by the Vision: Science to
Application (VISTA) program <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://vista.info.yorku.ca/">http://vista.info.yorku.ca/</a>. The
applicant will receive administrative support for their
Directorial duties, immediately available lab space, enhanced
start-up funding for their own research, additional annual
research funds, a reduced undergraduate teaching load, and
competitive access to general VISTA research and training funds.
This is a university-level search: the successful candidate will
be affiliated with the Department and Faculty that best suits
their research and teaching interests.</p>
<p>The successful candidate will hold a PhD in a
neuroscience-related discipline, must show evidence of outstanding
scientific leadership, and have expertise in the design of in vivo
neurophysiology research facilities. The applicant will combine
leading-edge neurophysiological techniques (such as multi-neuron
recording), behavioral recordings, and computational analyses of
data from in vivo experimental models of visual function and/or
dysfunction in areas such as perception, cognition, sensorimotor
integration, or multisensory integration. We particularly
encourage candidates who use or develop innovative technologies.
The applicant should have an outstanding research record
demonstrating scholarly eminence and a proven ability to attract
substantial peer-reviewed external research funding and to train
successful graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. This
individual will have an international reputation and record of
international research collaboration. <br>
