FACULTY POSITION
Electrical Engineering: Neuroscience and Data Science

NYU SHANGHAI
NYU Shanghai is currently inviting applications for one position at all levels (assistant, associate,
and full professor) from outstanding candidates having demonstrated abilities in both research
and teaching. We are interested in candidates with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (or related
field) whose research interests are in either of the following two research areas: (1) neuroscience,
including brain-machine interfaces and computational neuroscience; or (2) data science, including
machine learning and deep learning. When discussing their teaching experience, candidates
should identify courses they could teach both within and outside their specialty.
Candidates must have completed a Ph.D. or equivalent by the time of appointment. The search
will remain open until the position is filled, but review of applications will begin November 15,
2013. The appointment could begin as soon as September 1, 2014, pending administrative and
budgetary approval, or could be delayed until September 1, 2015.
NYU Shanghai is the first Sino-US higher education joint venture to grant a degree that is
accredited in the US as well as in China. A research university with liberal arts and sciences at its
core, it resides in one of the world's great cities, which is also a vibrant intellectual community
(http://shanghai.nyu.edu/). NYU Shanghai will recruit scholars who are committed to our global
vision of transformative teaching and innovative research.
New York University has established itself as a Global Network University, with three degreegranting campuses - New York, Shanghai, and Abu Dhabi - complemented by 12 additional
academic centers across five continents. Faculty and students circulate within the network in
pursuit of common research interests and cross-cultural, interdisciplinary endeavors, both local
and global.
The terms of employment in NYU Shanghai are comparable to U.S. institutions. Faculty may also
spend time at NYU New York and other sites of the global network, engaging in both research and
teaching opportunities.
Applicants should submit curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching interests,
electronic copies of up to five recent relevant publications, and the names
and addresses of three or more individuals willing to provide letters of
reference by January 31, 2014. Please visit our website at http://shanghai.
