UC Berkeley Neuroscience tenure track faculty position opportunity

The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) and the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute (HWNI) at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) invite applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the non-tenured Assistant Professor level. The successful candidate will have joint appointments with EECS and HWNI.

We seek applicants interested in creating innovative and far-reaching solutions to important problems at the boundary of electrical engineering and neuroscience. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, implantable devices, computational devices, sensors, energy harvesters, nano-electronics, spectroscopy, imaging, brain-machine interfaces, as applied to cellular, systems, behavioral or cognitive neuroscience. All areas at the interface of electrical engineering and neuroscience are of interest and encouraged to apply. Applicants are sought whose research, teaching, and/or service experience have prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education. The department and the institute are committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents.
