The Department of Psychology (http://psychology.arizona.edu/) and the Cognitive Science Program (http://www.cogsci.arizona.edu/) within the interdisciplinary
School of Mind, Brain and Behavior (http://web.mbb.arizona.edu/) at the University of Arizona invite applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the level of Assistant Professor. While our preference is for applicants who use human neuroimaging techniques or brain stimulation approaches combined with behavioral experiments to understand the brain systems underlying attention and consciousness, applicants who use these methods to investigate other areas of cognition (e.g., perception, learning and memory, decision-making) will also be considered. An interdisciplinary, collaborative perspective and experience with multiple methodologies is highly valued. A Ph.D. is required by August 2015 and post-doctoral experience is preferred.
Faculty at the University of Arizona teach courses at graduate and undergraduate levels and contribute to mentoring students, including those from underrepresented backgrounds. They also participate in outreach and contribute to department, college, and university service. In these and other ways, faculty members are expected to help in the development of innovative approaches to enhancing student engagement, increasing diversity, and expanding collaborations with community and business partners.
Interested candidates should submit a letter of interest, statement of research and teaching interests, and a CV to posting #F20280 at
http://www.uacareers.com. Applicants should also attach 3 recent publications, and arrange for three or more letters of recommendation.
We will begin reviewing applications December 1, 2015, and continue until the position is filled.
At the University of Arizona, we value our inclusive climate because we know that diversity in experiences and perspectives is vital to advancing innovation, critical thinking, solving complex problems, and creating an inclusive academic community. We translate these values into action by seeking individuals who have experience and expertise working with diverse students, colleagues and constituencies. Because we seek a workforce with diverse perspectives and experiences, we encourage minorities, women, veterans, and individuals with disabilities to apply. As an Employer of National Service, we also welcome alumni of AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, and other national service programs.
Outstanding UA benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance plans; life insurance and disability programs; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; UA/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; state and optional retirement plans; access to UA recreation and cultural activities; and more.
