Job Posting:
Executive Director, The International Brain Bee (IBB)
The International Brain Bee (IBB) is a non-profit educational organization incorporated in the U.S. The formal establishment of the IBB was made possible through a partnership between the Brain Bee Founder and five founding partner organizations: the American Psychological Association (APA), the Dana Foundation, the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS), the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) and the Society for Neuroscience (SfN). Each of the founding partners has committed seed funding for three years to support the successful implementation of this organizational structure and to facilitate the development of a long-term sustainability plan.
Over the past 20 years, the Brain Bee has grown from a grassroots effort to a successful global educational and outreach initiative. Almost entirely run by volunteers, there are currently approximately 175 local competitions in more than 50 countries, engaging over 50,000 students across six continents every year. The culmination of this program is the international competition held every year in conjunction with major scientific conferences, providing an enriching experience for the participants and those who witness the event.
As the number and success of the Brain Bees around the world have grown, so has the challenge of coordination between the local, national and international activities. To ensure the further development of the Brain Bee and its continued success as a connected global initiative, the IBB is now seeking to hire its first permanent Executive Director. The IBB Board has appointed a Search Committee to identify and recommend a candidate.
The Executive Director will serve as the chief staff executive of the International Brain Bee (IBB).The Executive Director reports directly to the Board of Directors and will implement the IBB mission of inspiring and motivating young students to learn more about neuroscience, neurology, psychology, and other brain related professions, and any other related charitable and educational programs and activities, in accordance with the strategic direction and policies established by the IBB Board.
Key Job Functions are listed below. A full position description is available upon request.
Mission and Programming:
Manage the planning, implementation and evaluation of the annual International Brain Bee competition and other Brain Bee activities.

Welcome
We are excited to announce the São Paulo School of Advanced Science on Social and Affective Neuroscience (SPSAN), which is organised by the Social and Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at the Center for Health and Biological Sciences of Mackenzie Presbyterian University and funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and its Sao Paulo School of Advanced Science program (grant no. 2017/17414-3).
The SPSAN will take place from August 20-31 2018 at Mackenzie Presbyterian University, Sao Paulo, Brazil. We are delighted to be able to offer this outstanding opportunity to eligible researchers with expenses like travel costs and accommodation covered thanks to FAPESP.
This event will present a unique opportunity for 100 selected undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as early career researchers (at Post-doc level) from all over the world to be part of 10 knowledge-enriching days of theoretical and practical learning. The aim is to deepen the understanding of social and affective neuroscience and learn more about how the current state of research can explain phenomena we experience in our daily lives as social beings. Please refer to the ‘Selection Criteria’ section if you are interested in participating to check for eligibility. Information on how to apply can be found under ‘Application’.
The SPSAN will entail courses, talks, and hands-on activities delivered by national and international leading researchers from the field of Social and Affective Neuroscience, who will apply their expertise to explain aspects of social interaction from our daily life. Additionally, the attendees will conduct a small-scale study and present their projects in a poster sessions. More information on the scheduled activities can be found under ‘Programme’.
Not only will the SPSAN provide an excellent chance to the selected attendees to present and discuss their research and research interests and receive feedback from the expert scientists, but will also offer a networking opportunity with a prospect of creating lasting contacts to peers and experts from the field. The SPSAN can be considered a hub for cooperative learning, promoting rich and plentiful discussions, and potential new research collaborations.
We look forward to receiving your application and meeting you at SPSAN!

Richard E. Tremblay is Emeritus professor of Pediatrics/Psychiatry/Psychology at the University of Montreal, and professor of child development at University College Dublin. Since the early 1980s he has been conducting a program of longitudinal and experimental studies, focusing on the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development of children from conception onward to understand the development of psychosocial adjustment problems and their prevention. Director of the Centre of Excellence for Early Child Development, he is coordinator of the Marie Curie International Network on Early Childhood Health Development and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Professor Tremblay has published close to 400 scientific articles, and 80 book chapters. With the Montreal Longitudinal-Experimental Study he and his colleagues have shown that intensive interventions at school entry can change the long-term behavior trajectories of aggressive-hyperactive kindergarten boys. His recent work, showing that humans initiate the use of physical aggression during infancy, has led him to experiment with prevention programs for pregnant women at risk of failing to provide the environment needed for a child to learn alternatives to physical aggression.

Prezados Neurocientistas do Brasil
A Semana Nacional do Cérebro (SNC) é uma iniciativa pautada na divulgação dos avanços e benefícios resultantes do estudo do cérebro promovida em todo o Brasil pela SBNeC e parte integrante da Brain Awareness Week (BAW). Consolida-se também como uma iniciativa global de divulgação das neurociências promovida pela Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives em todo o mundo. A cada ano, no mês de março, Universidades, Hospitais e outras organizações, inclusive agências do governo, unem-se durante uma semana para realizar um esforço coletivo de popularização dos conhecimentos oriundos das neurociências.
Após algumas iniciativas locais associadas à BAW no Rio de Janeiro desde 2010 e em Ribeirão Preto em 2011, a SBNeC promoveu em 2012 a I Semana Nacional do Cérebro que realizou 44 atividades em todo o território nacional, principalmente nas áreas Sul e Sudeste. Desde então, a SNC vem se consolidando como uma atividade de grande repercussão nacional com adesões em praticamente todo o território nacional. Tendo em vista a imensa repercussão que a SNC vem apresentando entre professores e estudantes no país, a SBNeC abrirá um espaço específico para amostras e discussões sobre a SNC em sua próxima reunião anual. Assim, convidamos a todos para organizarem suas atividades para a SNC que ocorrerá no período de 12 a 18 de Março de 2018. O tema escolhido para a VII SNC foi “A Educação Transforma”.
Esperamos que a VII SNC seja um evento de grande abrangência e repercussão nacional, contamos com sua participação.
