The Center for Mind & Brain and the Department of Psychology at the
University of California, Davis, invite applications for a tenure-track
position in Mind & Brain Sciences. The appointment will be at the
Assistant Professor level. Applications are sought from scholars who
have strong and innovative research portfolios that focus on both the
human mind and the human brain and that would complement the existing
research at the Center for Mind & Brain (
http://mindbrain.ucdavis.edu ).
This could involve any state-of-the-art methodological approach
(including but not limited to imaging, electrophysiology, stimulation,
modeling, genetics, neuropsychology, behavior/psychophysics, and
child/life-span development) and any content area that integrates mind
and brain and is synergistic with existing research at the Center for
Mind & Brain.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in psychology, neuroscience, statistics,
biomedical engineering, or related field, or an M.D. with specialization
in neurology, psychiatry, radiology, or a related field (must be
completed by the first day of courses, September 24, 2015); a strong
commitment to high quality teaching; and the potential to attract, or an
established record of attracting, substantial extramural funding.
The successful applicant will hold an academic appointment in the
Department of Psychology and will contribute to the graduate and
undergraduate teaching programs of that department (and will likely
participate in the University-wide Neuroscience Graduate Program). The
individual’s laboratory will be located at the Center for Mind and
Brain, an interdisciplinary research center with 18 core faculty and a
dedicated research staff. The Center offers an impressive array of
modern research equipment, including several high-density EEG/ERP
recording labs and a transcranial magnetic stimulation laboratory.
Center faculty also have access to three research-dedicated MRI scanners
at the Imaging Research Center (
http://ucdirc.ucdavis.edu ), including a
new 3T Siemens Skyra system and a BrainAmp MR system for simultaneous
EEG/MRI. The cognitive neuroscience community is extremely well
integrated across campus, with exceptionally collegial interactions and
collaborations among members of the Center for Mind & Brain, the Center
for Neuroscience, the MIND Institute, and the Imaging Research Center.
We also have close ties with many academic departments and with the
UC-Davis Medical Center.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, statements of research and
teaching interests, representative reprints and/or preprints, and at
least three letters of recommendation electronically at:
https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/apply/JPF00384
The position will remain open until filled. Applications submitted by
November 1st, 2014 will receive full initial consideration.

The University of California, Davis, the Center for Mind & Brain, and
the Department of Psychology are interested in candidates who are
committed to the highest standards of scholarship and professional
activities, and to the development of a campus climate that supports
equality and diversity. The University of California is an affirmative
action/equal opportunity employer.
