A joint professorship is announced in the field of Neuroscientific Foundations of Human-Animal Interactions (Comparative Neuroscience of the Social Brain), to be based at the Messerli Research Institute of the University of Veterinary
Medicine, Vienna, the University of Vienna, and the Medical University of Vienna. This joint professorship between the
Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Vienna (50%) and the
University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna (50%) will be supported by and assigned to the Messerli Research Institute.
Research carried out (Comparative Neuroscience of the
Social Brain) under this professorship is expected to increase
comparative and mechanistic (e.g., neural, physiological, and/or
genetic) understanding of the neuroscientific foundations of
social behaviour, in particular in the context of human-animal
interactions, and between conspecifics and/or members of different
species. The research methodology used should be empirical and highly
comparative, incorporating multiple species and preferably
including humans.
