Assistant Professor - University of Notre Dame
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience
The Department of Psychology at the University of Notre Dame invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience that will begin in the Fall of 2022. We are seeking individuals who are conducting novel and innovative research in any area of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. Any age focus across the lifespan is welcome, from infancy to older adulthood. The successful applicant will be expected to demonstrate and maintain excellence in their research area that has the potential to be externally funded, teach undergraduate and doctoral-level courses that advance curriculum, mentor undergraduate and doctoral students, and supervise theses and dissertations. The Department of Psychology has a strong culture of collaborative and integrative work within and across program areas, and scholars who can bridge their core developmental interests with complementary departmental strengths in cognition, brain and behavior, clinical, and quantitative psychological sciences are particularly attractive. The Department houses labs that use a variety of neurophysiological and neuroendocrine assessment methods (EEG, TMS, eyetracking, salivary cortisol and stress biomarkers), including MRI at off-campus clinics. Applicants whose research complements and expands our existing expertise are especially encouraged to apply. The College of Arts and Letters at the University of Notre Dame is investing heavily in the Psychology Department, achieving several new hires in recent years. The University and Psychology department are committed to building the research methodologies and teaching resources to further the mission of our Neuroscience and Behavior Program (https://science.nd.edu/undergraduate/majors/neuroscience/). South Bend and surrounding areas offer high quality of life, low cost of living, and substantial choice and availability in housing within urban, suburban, and rural settings. Recent urban planning emphasizes short commutes, with workplaces, stores, homes, and recreation brought into proximity. The South Bend area is also close to Lake Michigan beaches and resort towns, as well as the Chicago metro area and suburbs, which are readily accessible by car and train.
To guarantee full consideration, applications must be received by October 31, 2021, but the review of applications will continue until the position is filled.
