Five Positions in Cognitive Neuroscience (OPEN RANK)

The Center for Advanced Brain Imaging is a collaborative effort of Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University.  The focus of the joint Center is its Siemens 3T scanner but other methods, including EEG and TMS systems are also available. Ongoing activities at CABI include functional and structural neuroimaging within the areas of working memory, episodic memory, cognitive control, reading and language, and emotion-related processes using a wide range of clinical, non-clinical, and developmental populations, including normal college-aged subjects, survivors of cancer, healthy older adults, sports-related concussions, as well as children and adults with autism and other neurological, genetic, and psychiatric conditions.

The two universities will undertake an aggressive hiring program for faculty whose work would be focused at the Center.  Georgia State, as part of its Second Century Initiative has plans for 3 positions and Georgia Tech has plans for 2 positions.  Rank is open but applicants at Associate or Full Professor levels will be preferred.  The successful applicants will have an established and funded research program.

Georgia State seeks scholars who would help advance current GSU research initiatives that include Brains and Behavior and Language and Literacy, and may build upon current strengths in atypical development and learning (http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwaty), clinical neuropsychology, and/or cognitive neuroscience (http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwpsy/graduate_programs.html).  A number of GSU units will support these individuals to drive a broad vision for interdisciplinary and cross-departmental research. The candidates will be appointed in a relevant department (e.g., Psychology and/or Neuroscience, Physics) at Georgia State University.
-
Georgia Tech seeks individuals who fit or add to themes of individual differences, aging, attention, memory, and cognitive control that cut across the various areas of the School of Psychology.
-
For all positions, a Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D. or similar degree in psychology, neuroscience or a related research discipline is required.  The successful candidates will have strong academic credentials and an outstanding record of research achievement, including a strong record of external research funding. The successful candidates will be expected to maintain productive, funded research programs in human neuroimaging, and will be expected to demonstrate graduate and undergraduate instructional effectiveness with a diverse student body.  Applications should consist of a curriculum vita, cover letter stating research interests and experience, evidence of instructional effectiveness, and three letters of recommendation.
-
Individuals interested in the Georgia State positions should send applications to the Human Neuroimaging Search Committee (neuroimaging@gsu.edu). Inquiries can be sent to Tricia King (tzking@gsu.edu).
-
Individuals interested in the Georgia Tech positions should upload their applications electronically to https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/1877.  Inquiries can be sent to Randall Engle at Randall.Engle@psych.gatech.edu.
