Tenure Track Faculty Position



The Department of Psychology at Binghamton University (SUNY) invites applications for an assistant professor position (tenure-track) in Cognitive Neuroscience to begin Fall 2011.  We seek an individual with a strong research record in human cognition using behavioral and biological methods.  Core methodologies for the successful candidate might include event-related potentials, optical imaging, transcranial magnetic stimulation, the study of sleep and cognition, and/or the study of genetic influences on cognition.  The area of cognitive specialization is open, but those with interests in development or aging are strongly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate is expected to establish an independent research program capable of attracting external funding and to contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching.

 

The Psychology Department is comprised of 31 faculty in three interactive graduate programs: Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences, Behavioral Neuroscience, and Clinical.  The appointment will be in Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences, whose current strengths are in visual and auditory perception, learning and memory, language processing, categorization and executive function.  Faculty within the Behavioral Neuroscience program investigate neural development, alcohol/drug abuse, plasticity, memory, sensory coding, stress, and animal models of Parkinson’s disease and Korsakoff’s syndrome. Research foci in the Clinical Psychology program include the  psychopathology of anxiety disorders, autism, depression, and schizophrenia, as well as research on marital dysfunction, alcohol abuse, and dissociation.  More information about the department is available at http://www2.binghamton.edu/psychology.
