Faculty Position in Human Affective/Social Neuroscience

The Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, invites applications

for a faculty position (Assistant or Associate Professor) in the human neurosciences, focusing on

affective and/or social neuroscience, which may include research that touches on cognitive

and/or developmental processes as well. Preference will be given to individuals whose methods

include brain imaging (e.g., fMRI, EEG, eCog), biomarkers (e.g., cortisol) or stimulation

techniques (e.g., tDCS) paired with behavioral studies, focusing either on healthy or clinical

populations. This is a tenure-track university year appointment. The expected start date is

September 1, 2017.

Successful candidates must have a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline (Psychology or Neuroscience)

by the time the position starts, and a commitment to undergraduate and graduate teaching. New

faculty hired at the Assistant Professor level will be expected to establish an independent

research program. More senior applicants should have a well-established, externally-funded

research program with an excellent international reputation. Please submit a letter of intent,

curriculum vitae, a statement of current and future research plans, a statement of teaching

philosophy and experience, and evidence of teaching excellence (if available). Applicants should

also request at least three letters of recommendation from referees. All materials should be
