developmental neuroscience positions at Penn State

[Ping Li]

The Departments of Human Development and Family Studies, Nutritional
Sciences and Food Science, and Psychology announce three open rank tenure
track positions in adolescent developmental neuroscience. These positions
will be co-funded by the Children, Youth and Family Consortium (CYFC) at
Penn State University (*http://www.cyfc.psu.edu*) a unit of Penn State's
Social Science Research Institute (*http://www.ssri.psu.edu*). We seek
colleagues whose research interests and expertise fit within the broad area
of brain development and function during adolescence. The University has
made substantial investments in the neurosciences over the past five years.
These include new faculty lines in existing strength areas such as cognitive
and affective neuroscience, neural engineering, prevention research, and
developmental behavioral genetics. Additionally, the Social, Life, and
Engineering Sciences Imaging Center (SLEIC) opened in 2009. It houses a new
Siemens 3T MRI scanner, two high field MRI scanners suitable for animal
research, and a Human Electrophysiology Facility (*
http://www.imaging.psu.edu*). The cluster hire will build on a long
tradition of developmental research at Penn State, as well as emerging
opportunities for collaboration with faculty in programs such as the Penn
State Institute of the Neurosciences, Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences,
Penn State College of Medicine, Prevention Research Center, Center for
Neural Engineering, and Center for Childhood Obesity. The applicant must
demonstrate his/her potential to procure external funding, and aptitude to
teach and mentor students. Salaries are competitive, commensurate with
background and experience, and an attractive benefits package is available.
Start-up funds and significant time in the neural imaging facilities are
available to support the research programs of new faculty. Review of
applications and nominations will begin immediately and will continue to be
accepted until the positions are filled. Women and ethnic and racial
minority members are especially encouraged to apply. Penn State is committed
to affirmative action, equal opportunity and the diversity of its workforce.
We encourage applicants to review all positions and consider applying to all
those that are of interest.
