</span>(CB3), an interdisciplinary, University-wide research center that engages a broad spectrum of investigators working in the areas of neuroscience, behavior and health. Nebraska seeks a leader with a nationally recognized research program, who can harness
the potential of CB3 through visionary integration across research groups in the Center, and by leveraging unique physical facilities and opportunities for research growth.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-right:6.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-right:6.5pt">Much of the research conducted across CB3 research teams aligns with at least one of three areas of scientific emphasis: biological and psychological mechanisms of behavior and well-being; brain development
and change throughout the lifespan; and neurological disease, disorder, injury, and subsequent recovery, including current labs actively studying sports-related concussion, stroke, and swallowing and communication disorders. CB3 is housed within 30,000 square
feet of research space in Memorial Stadium on the UNL City Campus. Due to proximity, this location affords a unique collaboration with Nebraska Athletics, including Athletic Medicine and the Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory. The facility’s centerpiece
is a Skyra 3 Tesla Siemens scanner equipped with an MR-compatible 256-electrode high-density EEG<span style="letter-spacing:2.0pt">
</span>system, an eye tracker, and psychophysiology equipment. The Center also features several specialized laboratories for NIRS, behavioral genetics, GALILEO somatosensory and motor control, neuromagnetics, eye tracking, psychophysiology, high-density EEG/ERP,
and salivary bioscience. Partnership with the University of Nebraska Medical Center affords access to additional equipment, such as MEG, to populations with a large variety of neurological diseases, and to registries yielding access to electronic medical databases.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-right:6.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-right:6.5pt">Reporting to the UNL Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development, the Director will lead the development and expansion of the Center vision and strategically shape its growth. The Director will capitalize
on the outstanding Center faculty and facilities, while displaying the vision, energy, commitment, and organizational/administrative skills to take the Center to the next level. The Director will work collaboratively with colleges, academic departments, research
centers, and other partners across UNL, as well as with the other University of Nebraska campuses, to advance research in neuroscience and behavior across multiple disciplines. The Director will build large-scale interdisciplinary teams to pursue extramural
research funding, as well as developing additional sources of funding from public and private sources. The Director will create and sustain an inclusive and equitable environment in which faculty, staff and students can excel and grow professionally and personally,
and advance Center initiatives in diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Director will provide administrative and budgetary oversight for CB3.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-right:6.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-right:6.5pt">In addition to leading the Center, responsibilities include maintaining an active program of externally funded research. Opportunities to teach in the tenure home department can also be pursued. The UNL tenure
home of the successful applicant will depend upon candidate interest and background. Rank for this position is Associate to Full Professor. Faculty affiliation with the University of Nebraska Medical Center is possible.
