NeuroCure Faculty Position

The Charité Universitätsmedizin BerlinMedical School of the Freie Universität Berlin and the Humboldt – Universität zu Berlin invites applications for a new faculty position (W3) full professor. This is part of an ambitious recruitment effort aimed at significantly increasing the complement of interdisciplinary neuroscience investigators in Berlin within the cluster of excellence ‘NeuroCure’.

Of particular interest are neuroscientists with broad expertise in biochemistry and molecular biology. Furthermore, researcher interested in mechanisms of neuronal damage, endogenous neuroprotection, regeneration, interaction of the nervous system with the immune system, neurodevelopment as well as developmental disorders and mechanisms of neuronal plasticity, will allow us to complement our interdisciplinary network.

However, demonstrated excellence in research is more important than the area of research. Thus, the primary criteria for appointment will be outstanding records of innovative research and academic performance, including landmark papers in leading journals, as well as high potential for establishing a rigorous and substantial independent research program, inspiring mentorship, and fruitful collaboration.

The position offers the opportunity to be involved in basic research training for medical students, to mentor graduate students with a strong interest in basic science and translational research. In addition to the PhD students that are actively pursuing graduate studies, we maintain a large and highly regarded MD/PhD program. Further, state-of-the-art genomics, proteomics, and neuroimaging facilities, as well as dedicated animal housing are available to all members of the neuroscience community. The successful applicant will be expected to develop and maintain an externally-funded research program and to teach at the undergraduate and graduate level. Preference will be given to individuals whose interests are synergistic with ongoing research programs at the Center.

The Center’s institutions are equal opportunity employers, committed to the advancement of individuals without regard to ethnicity, religion, sex, age, disability or any other protected status.

Please send curriculum vitae, description of achievements and research interests to:

 Dean Prof. Dr. Grüters-Kieslich / Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin

New Faculty Position

Within the framework of the newly founded Cluster of Excellence (www.neurocure.de) the Department of Biology in the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (I) is announcing a W-3 Professorship for Neuronal Plasticity to be filled at the nearest opportunity. The Professorship in Neuronal Plasticity should analyse the convertibility of neuronal processes including synaptic transmission in the nervous system from a broad neurobiological and pathophysiological perspective.

The professorship will work in close cooperation with 15 other new NeuroCure professorships as well as the Cluster’s more than 25 existing workgroups. The new NeuroCure building will be located on the Charité Mitte Campus in Berlin in direct proximity to the Department of Biology, the DRFZ and the MPI for Infection Biology. The location thus offers numerous cooperation possibilities with workgroups, collaborative research centers (SFBs), research training groups (Graduiertenkollegs) and other joint research projects supported by these institutions. The professorship should contribute to the foundational training in the bachelor of biology degree program, in the master and PhD degree programs in molecular and organismic biology, biophysics, medical neurosciences, and computational neuroscience, and in the research training group Mind & Brain. During the funding period, the professorship is responsible for a four-hour teaching load.

The candidate must fulfill the requirements for appointment as professor as set forth in § 100 of the Berlin University Law (Berliner Hochschulgesetz). As the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin strives to increase the proportion of women in science and teaching, female candidates are particularly encouraged to apply. Applications from abroad are welcome. In the event of equal personal aptitudes and qualifications, disabled persons will be given priority.

Please address your application by 15.10.2009, under the reference number PR/025/09, to the
