Positions Available
The field of systems biology is undergoing exciting changes. In the last decade, there have been major
technological advances, both at the experimental and theoretical levels. These include the development of large
scale methods for monitoring neuronal activity, large scale methods for monitoring gene expression, high
throughput assays of behavior at various levels, and a host of mathematical and computational tools (statistical
and dynamical systems-based) for tackling complex datasets. These advances open the door to major
discoveries and conceptual breakthroughs in ways that were not previously possible.
To incorporate these changes into its research efforts, The Weill Medical College of Cornell University has
embarked on a major expansion in this area. This includes the construction of new buildings, the establishment of
a Junior Fellows program, and the opening of several new tenure track faculty positions.
The following are the current recruitments, as listed in Nature and Science.
Faculty Positions in Theoretical Neuroscience
The Institute for Computational Biomedicine at the
Weill Medical College of Cornell University (on the Manhattan campus) invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level or higher. The applicant should have a broad range of achievements in theoretical approaches to systems biology, with a strong emphasis on neuroscience. He/she will be expected to build an exciting, first-rate research program, to participate in the training of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and to interact with a thriving, and rapidly growing, group of theorists and experimentalists, working at all levels of systems biology - molecular, cellular, multi-cellular (network), and behavioral. Applications should be received by Oct. 15, 2007 and include a curriculum vitae,
a two-page summary of past research and future plans, and reprints of two or three key publications. The application and three letters of recommendation should be sent to:

Junior Fellow Positions in Theoretical Neuroscience
The Institute for Computational Biomedicine at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University (on the Manhattan campus) invites applications for Cornell Junior Fellow positions. These positions are targeted for young scientists, typically at the advanced postdoctoral level, of outstanding promise - scientists with the drive, perseverance, and history of accomplishments to suggest that they will, in the long run, make fundamental contributions to scientific understanding. Once chosen, Fellows are free to pursue whatever lines of inquiry interests them within the field being advertised. The fellowship offers the opportunity to pursue research independently and intensely, free from the burdens of a standard faculty position (teaching, grant writing, administrative responsibilities, etc.). The current positions being offered are for 2-3 years and target theoretical neuroscience; successful and productive Fellows will be considered prime candidates for tenure-track faculty positions. Applications should be received by Oct. 15, 2007 and include a curriculum vitae, a two-page summary of past research and future plans, and reprints of two or three key publications. The application and three letters of recommendation should be sent to:

Research Technician II in Nirenberg Lab
I. Position Summary: The research technician will assist the principal investigator and laboratory researchers with every aspect of daily research, from running experiments, to analyzing data obtained and maintaining laboratory supplies and animal colonies. The ideal candidate will demonstrate intellectual curiosity and will take on a project of his/her own.
II. Position Activities: Perform experiments in the areas of anatomy, physiology and behavior (rodent). Maintain daily record keeping: make sure lab is constantly equipped; take care of specific genetically modified mouse lines; place orders for the lab; assume responsibility for paperwork/receipts.
III. Minimum Requirements: B.S. in Neuroscience, Biology, or any related scientific field. Background in programming is a plus. We are looking for a commitment of at least 2 years.
A cover letter and resume (including contact information for recommendations) should be sent by email to to: tjn2001@med.cornell.edu
