GROUP LEADERS IN NEUROPLASTICITY AND BRAIN DISORDERS

The recently created Center of Excellence for Neural Plasticity & Brain Disorders BRAINCITY (braincity.nencki.gov.pl) seeks to appoint four group leaders to develop ambitious and innovative research programmes investigating neural plasticity related to brain disease. Topics of particular interest for BRAINCITY include genomics and epigenomics, clinical neuroscience, circuitry, neurodevelopment, and disease modeling. Candidates with expertise in iPSC-derived organoids, bioimaging, in vivo and in vitro gene editing, bioinformatics, high-content behavioral assessment, and drug screening are particularly encouraged to apply. The group leaders will have full  freedom to develop their own scientific projects and responsibility for forming and leading an independent research group. Initial fixed-term positions will be offered with the possibility of obtaining tenure at the Nencki Institute upon successful review. Appointments will include core funding and internationally competitive salaries for the PI and several group members, as well as access to state-of-the-art research facilities, and the possibility to apply for large equipment funding.

Applications should include:

• curriculum vitae
• full list of peer-reviewed publications
• up to three publications (pdf) with a brief explanation of their significance and the candidate’s contribution
• description of past accomplishments and future research plans (max. 5 pages)
• three letters of reference from senior researchers sent directly to m.rucinska@nencki.gov.pl

Materials should be deposited at https://braincity.nencki.gov.pl/register.php before May 17, 2019, 23:59 CEST.

It is expected that shortlisted candidates will be notified in early June and interviews will take place at the Nencki Institute on July 22-23, 2019.

Further information related to the scientific programme can be obtained by contacting Leszek Kaczmarek (l.kaczmarek@nencki.gov.pl) and Ewelina Knapska (e.knapska@nencki.gov.pl).
