April 25, 2017 Dear Colleague: We are pleased to announce the fourth annual call for applicants for the Allen Institute for Brain Science Next Generation Leaders, a program that fosters the development of top emerging leaders in neuroscience and recognizes the importance of fresh and innovative contributions from scientists at early stages in their careers. The Allen Institute for Brain Science’s mission is to accelerate the understanding of how the human brain works in health and disease. Using big science, team science and open science, we generate useful public resources, drive technological and analytical advances, and discover fundamental brain properties through integration of experiments, modeling and theory and freely and publicly disseminate our data. Since its inception, the Allen Institute for Brain Science has sought the advice and feedback of esteemed scientists through program-specific Advisory Councils. The Next Generation Leaders form a complementary group of advisors, focused on up-and-coming techniques and approaches. We are seeking your help in identifying exceptional candidates to join this program. A Next Generation Leader may be selected from any basic scientific, biomedical, or technological field, but must be passionate about understanding the complex problems facing brain research today. Candidates should have demonstrated innovation and have potentially transformative research programs or ideas. Requirements are (1) a PhD and/or MD in a relevant field; (2) currently in a post-doctoral position, or obtained an Assistant Professor position within the previous 2 years (or the equivalent level in industry); (3) a strong publication record. We have enclosed additional information and application instructions. We would greatly appreciate if you could post the enclosed flyer and forward this information to suitable candidates or colleagues. The deadline for applications is June 9, 2017. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact us at NextGen@alleninstitute.org. Thank you in advance for your candidate suggestions and support. Sincerely, Christof Koch, PhD
