Georgetown University Tenure Track Position in Cognitive Neuroscience:
The Department of Psychology at Georgetown University anticipates a 
tenure-track assistant professor position, effective August 1, 2008.

Applications in any area of cognitive neuroscience are welcome, but 
we are especially interested in candidates specializing in the neural 
bases of language or in social/affective neuroscience, with a focus 
on any area of lifespan development.  Successful applicants should 
bring an active research program with potential for external 
funding.  They should also be prepared to teach courses in cognitive 
neuroscience and other areas related to their specialty, as well as 
general psychology, our introductory course.  Excellent teaching 
skills, a strong publication record, and previous demonstration of 
funding will be advantageous.
Georgetown University has a state-of-the-art brain imaging facility 
with a research-dedicated 3T magnet and technical support for fMRI, 
DTI, and MRS. The Psychology Department offers an undergraduate major 
in psychology, an honors program, and a doctoral degree with 
concentrations in Lifespan Cognitive Neuroscience and in Human 
Development and Public Policy.  In addition, Psychology faculty may 
mentor Ph.D. students in other programs such as the Interdisciplinary 
Program in Neuroscience based in the adjacent Georgetown University 
Medical Center. For more information about our department, visit our
