[Rick Gilmore]

Developmental Neuroscience Search

PSYCHOLOGY, PENN STATE.  The Department of Psychology at Penn State is
broadening a search for candidates for a tenure line faculty position,
at any rank, with a specialization in any area of developmental
neuroscience for Fall 2004.  The department seeks an individual whose
research will contribute to the department-wide neuroscience
initiative and complement and broaden the capacities of the
Department's Child Study Center (CSC) and Penn State's Child, Youth,
and Family Consortium (CYFC). The CSC, a unit of the Psychology
Department, is dedicated to the integration of developmental and
clinical science (http://csc.la.psu.edu). The CYFC is a
university-wide consortium dedicated to promoting interdisciplinary
collaborations that advance research and outreach to children, youth,
and families (http://www.cyfc.psu.edu).

Candidates for the position may hold a doctorate in developmental or
clinical child psychology (clinical candidates must hold a doctorate
from an APA-approved program with an APA-approved
internship). Preference will be given to candidates with post doctoral
experience.

The ideal candidate would bring a research program with a focus on the
role of the developing brain in the development of competence and/or
psychopathology in childhood (e.g., cognitive neuroscience applied to
learning and/or learning difficulties, affective neuroscience applied
to the development of emotional and social competence or particular
disorders). The ideal candidate would also be interested in
collaborating with colleagues in the Psychology Department, other
departments at Penn State, and the Hershey Medical School.

Please send letter of interest, vita, sample papers, and three letters
of references to Pamela M. Cole, Developmental Neuroscience Search
Committee, Box M, Department of Psychology, Penn State University,
University Park, PA 16802.

Review of applications will begin September 15, 2003 and will continue
until the position is filled.  Penn State is committed to affirmative
action, equal opportunity and the diversity of its workforce.
