Assistant Professor, Neural Mechanisms of Cognition and Behavior
The Department of Psychology at Emory University invites applications for a tenure-track position at the level of assistant professor with an anticipated start date of August 1, 2018. We seek applicants to establish an independent, federally-funded
program of research aimed at understanding mechanisms of cognition and behavior at biological and psychological levels with a goal of building on Emory’s strengths in behavioral, cognitive, affective, social, computational, developmental, and/or comparative
neuroscience. We also seek applicants with a strong commitment to undergraduate and graduate teaching. Laboratory space for small animals as well as research facilities for humans (including a research-dedicated 3T MRI scanner) are available. Applicants
whose research uses cutting-edge techniques in small animals and bridges to studies with humans are particularly encouraged to apply.
Ph.D. required. Candidates should submit applications at psychology.emory.edu. Please include a CV, a research statement, a teaching statement, two or three representative publications, and three letters of recommendation. Please also
include a brief statement in your cover letter that addresses past activities and future plans to advance equity, inclusion, and diversity in your professional career. Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2017, and applications received up to
30 days after review begins will be given full consideration. Emory University (Atlanta, GA) is a diverse community that values multiple perspectives and is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action/Disability/Veteran employer. Women, minorities, persons with
