[FieldTrip] Laboratory Director (Faculty) Positions in Cognitive Neuroscience

[Heinrichs-Graham, Elizabeth C.]

The Institute for Human Neuroscience at Boys Town National Research Hospital in Omaha invites applications for two open-rank Laboratory Director (faculty) positions in Cognitive Neuroscience. We welcome applications from any area of cognitive neuroscience, including executive function, visual attention, perception, emotion, motor control, memory, and methods-oriented areas, and are especially interested in building our existing research programs in pediatric brain health. Methodological specialty within neuroimaging is open (e.g., MEG, fMRI, MRS, etc.), but ideally the candidate would benefit from our strong existing programs in MEG imaging, multimodal MRI, OPM, and/or neuromodulation, and develop a nationally recognized program focusing on their area of interest. The successful applicants will receive strong financial support for building their research programs and would join a growing group of cognitive neuroscientists, both within the Institute and across campus, using the latest tools in human neuroscience.



Successful candidates will have a PhD, MD, or MD/PhD in neuroscience, psychology, physics, computer science or related field, with postdoctoral training and an excellent publication record for their career stage. Candidates should also have a sustained record of research in high impact journals and demonstrated ability, or evidence of the potential, to generate extramural funding commensurate with their career stage. Applicants should have the ability and interest to teach graduate courses in cognitive neuroscience, and to mentor PhD students in our growing Neuroscience PhD program with Creighton University.



The new 15,000+ square foot Institute for Human Neuroscience is a vibrant research environment with state-of-the-art equipment and ample opportunities for training and trans-disciplinary collaboration. The Institute houses the latest equipment available in the field of noninvasive neuroimaging, including two Neo MEG systems, which are the most advanced MEG units currently available, a NIH S10 supported optically-pumped magnetometry (OPM) suite, a 3T Siemens Prisma MRI system, a mock MRI scanner, and a high-performance computing space. The Institute's resources also include state-of-the-art high-definition transcranial direct-current and alternating-current stimulation (HD-tDCS/tACS) equipment, and biomechanical equipment for quantifying human movement physiology. The Institute is also home to the Center for Pediatric Brain Health, which is an NIH P20 Center of Biomedical Research Excellence. The objectives of the Center are to strengthen the institution's biomedical research infrastructure by enhancing the ability of junior investigators to compete independently for NIH research grants (e.g., R01) or other external peer-reviewed support.


We expect to hire at least two faculty through the current initiative, with start dates in 2023 and 2024. Interested applicants should submit a letter detailing current research interests and a curriculum vitae to Dr. Tony Wilson (tony.wilson at boystown.org<mailto:tony.wilson at boystown.org>). A list of the applicant's five most important publications and contact information for three individuals who will provide letters of recommendation will be requested at a later time. Review of applications will begin August 10th and will continue until the positions are filled. Individuals from diverse backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply.
