Lincy Professor of Psychology
University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Assistant Professor Neuroscience
The Department of Psychology at the University of Nevada Las Vegas invites applications
for a tenure-track Assistant Professor appointment in neuroscience to begin August 2014.
The applicant's specific research area within neuroscience is open. However, we are
particularly interested in candidates with interests in computational neuroscience, or
structural/functional brain mapping and connectivity that can add to the department's
existing neuroscience research. We also welcome individuals who can interface with
established and emerging research programs in Las Vegas investigating neurodegenerative
disorders or autism spectrum disorders. The successful applicant would be expected to add
to the department's growing neuroscience program by teaching graduate and
undergraduate courses as well as mentoring student research. Applicants must have a Ph.D.
in Psychology, Neuroscience, or a related field, and must have evidence of strong
scholarly work and the potential for extramural funding. Postdoctoral experience is a
plus.
Initial reviews will begin December 1, 2013 and will continue until the position is
filled. Full details about the position, including instructions for the on-line
application process, are posted at the departmental website,
