Assistant Professor of Psychological Science and Neuroscience (Affective Neuroimaging)
Pomona College invites applications for a tenure-track, joint appointment in the
Departments of Psychological Science and Neuroscience beginning Fall 2020. The position is
targeted at the assistant professor rank, but outstanding candidates at more senior ranks
will be considered. We seek candidates with an active research program that involves
undergraduates and a strong commitment to excellence in teaching. Research program
pertinent to the study of human affect is preferred, and use of fMRI in research is
required, but the area of specialization is open. There are several scanners in the
Southern California area where candidates could work on establishing collaborations, but
there are none at the Claremont Colleges. Therefore, we are seeking candidates who can
creatively involve students in research utilizing fMRI data. Teaching load is two courses
per semester and may include introduction to psychological science, an advanced seminar in
emotions, and a laboratory course either in emotions or fMRI neuroimaging. Supervision of
research and senior thesis students from the psychological science and neuroscience
departments is also expected. The successful candidate will have experience working with
students from diverse backgrounds and a demonstrated commitment to improving higher
education for underrepresented groups. Pomona College, the founding member of the
Claremont Colleges consortium, is a highly selective liberal arts college attracting an
economically and geographically diverse student body. Please submit to
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/13927<https://urldefense.proofpo…
the following materials: a) cover letter, b) curriculum vitae, c) three brief statements
addressing teaching philosophy, scholarship (including how a successful research program
will be conducted with undergraduates using fMRI methodology), and demonstrated ability to
mentor a diverse student body, d) three representative reprints or pre-prints, and e)
three letters of recommendation. In order to receive full consideration, dossier should be
submitted by October 4.
Thanks and best,
Sara
