Faculty Positions
C V Starr Fellow
We are no longer accepting new applications for this years C V Starr Fellowship.
C V Starr Foundation Fellowships in Neuroscience
The Princeton Neuroscience Institute aims to recruit and support one or two exceptional individuals who are expecting or have recently obtained a PhD degree in neuroscience or areas relevant to neuroscience (molecular biology, psychology, computer science, engineering, physics, or mathematics).
The PNI is looking to fill one or two C V Starr Fellowships in Neuroscience. The PNI is a newly formed unit at Princeton that focuses on interdisciplinary research in neuroscience, spanning from molecular, cellular and genetic approaches to systems and human cognitive neuroscience. PNI houses state of the art facilities for experimental research in all of these areas, as well as advanced computational resources that support its emphasis on theoretical and quantitative approaches to neuroscience. To ensure full consideration, all materials must be received by February 15, 2012.
The program provides a generous salary and an annual research budget. Fellows are not expected to apply for outside funding. Independent research is typically carried out under the mentorship of a core faculty member in the Institute, although those who wish to pursue a specific independent research program will also be considered. Fellows will be expected to participate in the teaching programs of the Institute.
For more information about the Institute, see http://www.princeton.edu/neuroscience/.
Applications should be submitted online at https://jobs.princeton.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/Welcome_css.jsp by February 15, 2012. (Requisition # ). Candidates must submit a CV, a list of publications, a statement of research interests and goals, and the contact information for three references. Finalists will be invited to Princeton to present a talk concerning their current research.

Research and Technical
Postdoctoral Research Associate
Turk-Browne Lab, Princeton Neuroscience Institute (PNI) and Department of Psychology, Princeton University
The laboratory of Professor Nick Turk-Browne is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to work on NIH-funded studies of how visual and memory systems interact. The lab is using a combination of behavioral, neuroimaging, and patient studies to address this issue. The postdoctoral research associate will use high-resolution functional and structural MRI to study interactions between feature-selective areas of occipital cortex, object-selective areas of ventral temporal cortex, and anatomical subfields of the medial temporal lobe and hippocampus. The ultimate goal is to characterize how these interactions are modulated by selective attention, and how they relate to behavioral evidence of learning about objects and their relationships over space and time. In addition to this project, the postdoctoral research associate will be given the opportunity to participate in other research endeavors, and they will be expected to make a strong contribution to efforts to improve and validate neuroimaging analysis methods. For more information about the Turk-Browne Lab, see http://www.princeton.edu/ntblab/.
The Turk-Browne Lab is part of a highly collaborative group of researchers in Psychology and PNI at Princeton University that use a range of approaches to study human perception and cognition. In addition to internal lab meetings, there are multiple weekly seminars and colloquia in cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuroimaging methods. PNI operates two research-dedicated 3T scanners, including a newest-generation Siemens Skyra, as well as eye-trackers, EEG, TMS, and a high-performance computing cluster.
Essential qualifications: a Ph.D. in Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Engineering, or other related field; a strong publication record of original research in cognitive psychology/neuroscience; prior experience using fMRI or EEG to study cognitive processes; and fluency in at least one programming language (e.g., Matlab, Python, C/C++, UNIX shell).
Preferred qualifications: prior experience with connectivity, multivariate, or signal processing techniques.
To apply, please visit the website https://jobs.princeton.edu (requisition # 1200264 ) and create an online application. Applications should include a cover letter, CV, one or two representative publications, and a list of at least two potential referees. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled.
