Academic Positions

Professor

Description:
The DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCES at the UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA seeks applications for the MILLER FAMILY CHAIR IN COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE.

We expect this endowed position to be filled by a tenured faculty member, who will have the opportunity to direct a research-dedicated brain imaging center in the department, currently under construction. He or she also will play a key role in filling four other faculty positions and several staff positions related to neuroimaging.

The substantive area is open and includes such topics as understanding the neural basis of cognition, development, aging, social behavior, psychopathology, and addiction. Priority will be given to individuals whose research programs are both well-established and synergistic with those of current faculty. The brain imaging center is scheduled for completion in the spring and will house a research-dedicated 3T MRI scanner to supplement existing 1.5 and 3T scanners in the medical school.

Application Procedures:
Send applications to:

Search Committee Chair, Miller Family Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience, including a cover letter describing research and teaching interests; a vita; three to five representative reprints; and contact information for three referees. We will solicit letters of reference for leading applicants.

Inquiries can be made to:

Nelson Cowan, 573-882-4232, Email: CowanN@missouri.edu.

We will begin screening applications December 1, 2007 and will continue until the position has been filled.
