The Department of Psychology (College of Liberal Arts and Sciences) and the Department of Neurology (Carver College of Medicine) at the University of Iowa invite applications for a joint tenure-track faculty position to begin in the academic year 2015. This position is also part of the Aging Mind and Brain Initiative, a university-wide interdisciplinary research cluster devoted to studying cognitive decline in aging populations. We invite applications from candidates with outstanding research records and exceptional promise who work at the intersection of cognitive aging and human neuroscience, with a focus on normal or disease-related cognitive decline. Candidates must hold a PhD or an MD/PhD, and have an established record of research in high-quality journals. Candidates are expected to show strong promise of an externally funded program of research in the neuroscience of aging. In addition to maintaining an ongoing successful program of research, the faculty member holding this position is expected to teach two courses (graduate and undergraduate) per year in Psychology. The appointment is expected to be at the rank of Assistant Professor and requires that the PhD or the MD/PhD be received by August 19, 2015. The 9-month academic appointment is supported by fixed funding and is 50% in Psychology and 50% in Neurology. The review of applicants will begin on October 10, 2014 and will continue until the position is filled.
