faculty positions in neurolinguistics at the University of Georgia

[Liang Chen]

THE FRANKLIN COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
invites applications for two (2) tenure track positions at the
Assistant or Associate Professor level to begin August, 2008 in our
fast-growing bioimaging research core.  Faculty are being recruited
across disciplines integral to the development of a University-wide
initiative in bio-imaging research dedicated to addressing today's
biomedical health problems. Examples of appropriate disciplines
include, but are not limited to, Anthropology, the Biological
Sciences, Computer Science, Linguistics, Mathematics, Neuroscience,
Physics, Psychology, and Statistics. Faculty are expected to use as
their primary research tools those technologies currently in the state-
of-the-art Bio-Imaging Research Center (BIRC), one of the few research-
dedicated centers of its kind in the nation,  including high-field
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI, fMRI, DTI, MRA, MRS, and MNS
capabilities), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and/or dense-array
electroencephalography (EEG).  These technologies allow for exquisite
structural and functional imaging of the brain and central nervous
system, as well as muscle, and bone. We seek outstanding scholars
engaged in high impact research, regardless of specific research
focus. Successful candidates are expected to develop nationally
recognized research lines and successfully compete for extramural
funding. Successful candidates will be housed in and be considered for
promotion and tenure within their primary department, with
appointments to the BIRC.
	The Bio-Imaging Research Center, or BIRC (http://www.uga.edu/
psychology/BIRC/facilities/index.htm), is housed in the newly
constructed Paul D. Coverdell Biomedical Health Sciences Building. It
is a 9,000 square foot research suite dedicated to bio-imaging
research for the good of the State of Georgia and the nation. The
combination of technologies in the BIRC represents an indispensable
set of integrated tools for biomedical research and an exceptional
opportunity for academic researchers.  Together they enable exquisite
high-spatial resolution tissue imaging in humans and animals via
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and integrate with high temporal
resolution data of brain activity (MEG, EEG). Potential for
collaborations are available across the University and may include the
Biomedical Health Sciences Institute and its new Neuroscience Degree
program; the Regenerative Bioscience Center; Nanotechnology;
Bioengineering; Developmental Biology; the Institute of Behavioral
Research; the Institute of Gerontology; inter-departmental
collaborations and inter-institutional collaborations with the Medical
College of Georgia, Emory, the Shepherd Center and Georgia Tech.
	Candidates should send a letter of application describing research
and teaching interests, a curriculum vita, and reprints/preprints, and
arrange to have four letters of reference sent to: Chair, Bioimaging
Search Committee, care of L. Stephen Miller, Ph.D., Bioimaging
Research Center, Paul D. Coverdell Bldg, Room 119, 500 D.W. Brooks
Drive, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, 30602. The Franklin College
of Arts and Sciences, its many units, and the University of Georgia
are committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty and students,
and sustaining a work and learning environment that is inclusive. The
University is an EEO/AA institution. Applications received by January
25, 2008, are assured full consideration.
