Faculty Positions in Neuro-Z: Engineering and Neural Science InnovationContinued technological innovation is critical to advancing neuroscience. Columbia University is seeking exceptional applicants for a number of unique faculty positions at the intersection of neuroscience, engineering, and applied science. Recruiting will be made jointly through The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science and the newly named Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute.Successful candidates will be expected to establish world-class independent research programs that will cross the boundaries between neuroscience and applied science and engineering. Areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, the development of novel imaging technologies, electrical recording strategies, genetic approaches, contrast agent development, robotics, machine learning, data analysis, and computational approaches. Applications exploring the synergy between the Zuckerman Institute and Columbia’s new Institute for Data Sciences and Engineering are also welcome.Available positions will be tenure track or tenured at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level. Successful candidates will have laboratories located within the new Jerome L. Greene Science Center and will be full members of the Zuckerman Institute, while holding academic appointments in The Fu Foun-dation School of Engineering and Applied Science. Home department appointments can be in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Earth and Environmental Engineering, Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, Industrial En-gineering, and Operations Research or Computer Science. Candidates must be committed to outstanding teaching and mentoring at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in their home departments.Candidates are encouraged to learn more about the Zuckerman Institute, the Institute for Data Sciences and Engineering, and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science at the following links. While applicants whose work also intersects with the Institute for Data Sciences and Engineering are encouraged to apply, a research interest in data sciences is not required.

http://engineering.columbia.edu

Candidates should apply online at: https://academicjobs.columbia.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=58537 (applications cannot be sent directly)

Applications should include a CV, a publications list, a description of research accomplishments, an articulated vision of how their research would contribute to the goals of the Zuckerman Institute and the home department, and a statement related to teaching interests and plans. The vision statement should address intellectual intersections with the Institute for Data Sciences and Engineering, if applicable. Contact information should also be provided for three people who can supply letters of recommendation, as well as up to three pre/reprints of relevant peer-reviewed publications. The available positions will close no sooner than March ��, ����, and will remain open until �lled. Candidates also applying for neuro-related faculty positions within speci�c Engineering Departments should cross reference this advertisement and an interest in Zuckerman Institute within their cover letter. For a listing of ongoing recruiting opportunities in Engineering Departments, please see
