The Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience Program in NIMH Program Officer Position Health Scientist Administrator GS-12/13/14
The Behavioral Science and Integrative Neuroscience Research Branch at NIMH is looking for a motivated individual to serve as Program Officer for the Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience Program. This individual will identify and formulate program needs to achieve an integrated and responsive effort in theoretical and computational neuroscience studies that combine mathematical and computational tools with empirical neuroscience techniques to decipher the mechanisms underlying neuronal and behavioral systems. As one of the program officers in this branch, the selected candidate will stimulate, plan, advise, and direct program activities for a portfolio of research projects and grant or cooperative agreement awards in the area of theoretical and computational neuroscience.
The candidate will also develop collaborative activities among federal agencies to foster multi-disciplinary projects with a goal to develop new principles, models, and methods for acquisition, analysis and interpretation of neural data, and be responsible for maintaining and further developing innovative scientific directions that include computational and systems neuroscience approaches that align with the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative.
The successful candidate will be a U.S. citizen and possess a Ph.D. (or equivalent doctoral degree) in an academic field of the health or pertinent sciences (i.e., neuroscience, cognitive science, physiology, etc.). Degrees in fields that emphasize theoretical and computational neuroscience are preferred. A publication record and evidence of a familiarity with current literature in theoretical and computation neuroscience areas are essential. Prior research experience spanning the field of systems levels neuroscience and computational neuroscience is highly desirable. Fluency in written and spoken English is required, and motivation to serve as a team member in the Behavioral Science and Integrative Neuroscience Research Branch is necessary.
An announcement will be forthcoming through USA Jobs in the September timeframe. For additional information, please contact:
