| Description of Work | The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) seeks a new Director to lead the Center for Brain, Biology, and Behavior (CB3), an interdisciplinary, University-wide research center that engages a broad spectrum of investigators working in the areas of neuroscience, behavior, and health. Nebraska seeks a leader with a nationally recognized research program, who can harness the potential of CB3 through visionary integration across research groups in the Center, and by leveraging unique physical facilities and opportunities for research growth. Much of the research conducted across CB3 research teams aligns with at least one of three areas of scientific emphasis: biological and psychological mechanisms of behavior and well-being; brain development and change throughout the lifespan; and neurological disease, disorder, injury, and subsequent recovery, including current labs actively studying sports-related concussion, stroke, and swallowing and communication disorders. CB3 is housed within 30,000 square feet of research space in Memorial Stadium on the UNL City Campus. Due to proximity, this location affords a unique collaboration with Nebraska Athletics, including Athletic Medicine and the Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory. The facility’s centerpiece is a newly installed MAGNETOM Cima.X scanner equipped with an MR-compatible 256-electrode high-density EEG system, an eye tracker, and psychophysiology equipment. The Center also features several specialized laboratories for NIRS, behavioral genetics, GALILEO somatosensory and motor control, neuromagnetics, eye tracking, psychophysiology, high- density EEG/ERP, and salivary bioscience. Partnership with the University of Nebraska Medical Center affords access to additional equipment, such as MEG, to populations with a large variety of neurological diseases and registries yielding access to electronic medical databases.
