Principal Neuroscientist - Hansen Family Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience

Overview Principal Neuroscientist Hansen Family Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center - Lebanon, NH The Presidential Cluster on the Neural Code at Dartmouth College is delighted to invite applications for the Hansen Family Professorship. Qualified candidates will be considered at the Professor or Associate Professor rank. The appointment will be in the Department of Psychiatry (in the Geisel School of Medicine and part of Dartmouth Health). The Neural Code Cluster is one of 10 faculty clusters in priority areas for innovative science and scholarship across Dartmouth. It includes three endowed chairs supported by programmatic funds for ongoing multidisciplinary research and other scholarly activities. Applicants should have an outstanding record of research in psychiatrically related clinical neuroscience. We are especially interested in applicants who are focused on human neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI, EEG, MEG, NIRS), neuromodulation (e.g., TMS, tDCS, tACS, deep brain stimulation, neurofeedback, closed-loop systems), and affective and translational applications incorporating neuroscience approaches to the study of addiction, pain, and/or mood and anxiety disorders. Faculty in the Neural Code Cluster are part of a broader network of colleagues at Dartmouth spanning neuroscience research at multiple levels of analysis, computational and statistical innovations, and medical and translational applications. Applicants should possess outstanding mentorship qualities and contribute to the vibrant community of clinician-scientists at Dartmouth Health and Dartmouth College. Qualified candidates should be able to: Conduct clinical and translational research using human neuroimaging and/or neuromodulation techniques (e.g., TMS, tDCS, TACS, ultrasound), preferably integrating the two approaches; Engage with clinicians and researchers in a system of clinical care relate research findings to theory and work across multiple species and levels of analysis (cells, circuits, systems, human psychology and behavior, and society); and collaborate with scientists across fields, e.g., psychology, neuroscience, biology, engineering, computer science, cognitive science, biostatistics, and medicine. Integration of fundamental research with clinical practice and/or clinical populations is also a strength. Qualified candidates will be engaged in mentoring a new generation of scientists who ‘speak multiple scientific languages’, can lead multidisciplinary research programs, and can collaborate across traditional scientific areas. Dartmouth and Dartmouth Health are committed to academic excellence and encourage the open exchange of ideas within a culture of mutual respect. People with different backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives make the Dartmouth community diverse, which enhances academic excellence. Applicants should address in their cover letter how their research, teaching, service, and/or life experiences prepare them to advance Dartmouth’s and Dartmouth Health’s commitment to diversity in service of academic excellence.
