Position

The FMI is a leading biomedical research center, hosting around 190 post-doctoral fellows and graduate students who are recruited world-wide. The FMI is affiliated with the University of Basel and the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research. Located in the heart of Europe, Basel offers a rich cultural life and multilingual schools.

The Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (FMI) invites applications for three tenure-track group leader positions (assistant professor level). We are seeking outstanding individuals who address questions of fundamental biological and biomedical importance through innovative, quantitative and interdisciplinary methods.

Description

1. Neuronal Circuit Research For this position we are particularly interested in candidates who will establish a research program exploring neuronal circuit function. Specific research questions may include, but are not limited to, the neuronal circuit implementation of sensory processing , decision-making , cognitive control , attention , social interactions and related topics. Applications addressing theoretical aspects of circuit function are also encouraged.
