modeling) as applied to neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG) data. Candidates with expertise in how
structural or functional connectivity relates to behavior are especially encouraged to
apply. We prefer candidates at the associate professor level or higher who can contribute
leadership to the growing neuroscience and imaging communities, but we will consider
outstanding junior candidates. The position is co-funded by the Children, Youth, and

opportunities exist for collaboration within the department’s substantive focal areas
(cognitive, developmental, social, clinical, and industrial/organizational psychology) and
across the campus. Applicants who could also contribute to an overarching department
initiative to enhance diversity and our understanding of diversity are particularly
encouraged to apply. Candidates are expected to have a record of excellence in research
and teaching, and a history or promise of external funding. Review of applications for the
position begins November 1, 2012 and will continue until the position is filled.
Candidates should submit a letter of application including concise statements of research
and teaching interests, a CV, and selected (p)reprints. Junior candidates should submit at
