Faculty in Neuroscience

　　The University of Chicago's Grossman Institute for Neuroscience, Quantitative Biology and Human Behavior and the Department of Neurobiology seek to recruit tenure-track faculty. The University of Chicago is currently engaged in a major expansion in neuroscience, and offers a rich intellectual environment that includes a strong translational neuroscience community and affiliations with Argonne National Laboratory and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole. We are particularly interested in investigators employing novel approaches to understand the functions of neuronal circuits and their connection to behaviors. Appointments can be made at any rank from Assistant Professor to Professor.

　　All candidates must have a doctoral degree in neuroscience or a closely related field. Applicants must have at least two years of postdoctoral training and demonstrated potential for obtaining independent research support.

　　学校简介：

　　芝加哥大学(University of Chicago)，位于美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥市的密歇根湖湖畔。原本是一所经营不善即将面临倒闭的浸信会教会学校，由于石油大王洛克菲勒自身体健康不适后下定决心做善事并捐8千万美元，该校也因此在西元1890年代成为世界级的一流私立大学。校园占地约200英亩，其哥特式建筑古香古色。芝大提出的教育宗旨在防止学术课程和职业课程过分专门化的“芝加哥计划”，对其他大学的本科教育计划产生了巨大影响。

　　芝加哥大学的校训译成中文是“益智厚生”，意思是“提升知识，以充实人生。”(拉丁文原文：Crescat scientia vita excolatur。英译：Let knowledge grow from more to more; and so be human life enriched)。

　　芝大对教育观念的“宏观”与实验精神，奠定了它在美国教育史上的重要地位。而它在学术研究上的地位与贡献，也同样值得称道。

　　芝加哥大学的人类学、天文学、地球科学、经济学、地理学、历史学、语言学、数学、物理学、统计学、商学、社会学、神学等学科专业在美国具有较强的学术实力。经济学、社会学系实力尤其超强，“芝加哥学派”赫赫有名。
