Multiple Faculty Positions in Human Neuroimaging.   As part of its Second
Century Initiative (http://www.gsu.edu/secondcentury/) and pending
budgetary approval,  Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA anticipates
hiring up to 3 tenure-track faculty members (open rank, applicants at
Associate or Full Professor-levels preferred) with research programs in
human behavior and expertise in neuroimaging, to begin Fall 2014. We seek
established scientists who will join our growing cadre of researchers who

Behavior (http://neuroscience.gsu.edu/3650.html) and Language and Literacy

strengths in atypical development and learning
(http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwaty), clinical neuropsychology, and/or cognitive
science (http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwpsy/graduate_programs.html).  A number of
GSU units will support these individuals to drive a broad vision for
interdisciplinary research. Ongoing activities at the CABI include
functional and structural neuroimaging within the areas of working memory,
cognitive control, reading and language, and emotion processing as well as
with a wide range of clinical and developmental populations, including
survivors of cancer, congenital heart disease, as well as children and
adults with autism and other neurological, genetic, and psychiatric
conditions.
The candidate will be appointed in a relevant department (e.g., Psychology
and/or Neuroscience, Physics) at Georgia State University.  A Ph.D.,
M.D./Ph.D. or similar degree in psychology, neuroscience or a related
research discipline is required.  The successful candidate will have an
outstanding record of research achievement, including a strong record of
external research funding. The successful candidate will be expected to
maintain a productive, funded research program in human neuroimaging, and
will be expected to demonstrate graduate and undergraduate instructional
effectiveness with a diverse student body.  Interested individuals should
send a curriculum vita, a cover letter stating research interests and
experience, evidence of instructional effectiveness, and three letters of
recommendation. Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2013, but
application materials will be accepted until the positions are filled.
