Tenure-track Assistant Professor in Human Neuroscience at the University of Louisville (Psychological & Brain Sciences)
THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE, LOUISVILLE, KY. The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Louisville invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position with a specialization in clinical/translational, cognitive, or social/affective neuroscience in humans at the Assistant Professor level beginning August 1, 2023. Successful candidates will be expected to contribute to undergraduate and graduate neuroscience-related teaching missions of the department, and maintain an excellent record of research productivity.
We invite individuals whose research complements other research foci in the department, including neuroimaging, perception, cognition, big data, development, child/adult mental health, gerontology, and health psychology (http://www.louisville.edu/psychology/people/faculty). We especially encourage individuals with a research program that actively involves underrepresented populations and who demonstrate the potential of attracting extramural funding.
We encourage and invite applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply. Exceptional applicants whose research, teaching, and/or service is situated in anti-racism, decolonization, and/or liberation frameworks will receive strong consideration. In particular, we are interested in candidates whose work advances social justice and amplifies voices that have been minimized, discounted, or otherwise erased from psychological science.
The department hosts two baccalaureate degree programs (Psychology and Neuroscience) and two doctoral programs (Clinical Psychology and Experimental Psychology), and participates in an interdisciplinary doctoral program in Translational Neuroscience.

We are committed to attracting and hiring individuals from historically under-represented groups, and culturally humble individuals, who demonstrate capacity to create inclusive work environments, work effectively on diverse teams, and serve the increasingly diverse students we admit and want to retain. The university is in the heart of a metropolitan area of nearly 1 million people that has an affordable cost of living, and is known for its vibrant arts scene, parks system, and culinary excellence.
