Junior Faculty Position in Developmental Neuroscience:  Department of Medical Social Sciences, Northwestern University

The Department of Medical Social Sciences (MSS) at Northwestern University invites applications for a tenure track assistant professor position in developmental neuroscience.  MSS was established in March 2009 under the direction of Dr. David Cella, to provide a unique interdisciplinary home for applied researchers who integrate biomedical and social science approaches to improvement of health.  Thus, the candidate will be joining MSS at a time of significant opportunity, as it forms its scientific direction. Scientific themes of the Department center on measurement innovation and rapid translation of basic discovery to application.  Because an interdisciplinary, collaborative orientation is a defining element of the Department, MSS provides an ideal home for scholars whose work is integrative and cuts across traditional content areas.  MSS provides rich resources for conducting neuroscientific investigation including multiple population-based and clinical cohorts,  a developmental ERP laboratory, biostatistical and health informatics cores, expertise in multi-level assessment methods and collaborative relationships across Northwestern’s biomedical and life sciences campuses  and its Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program (for details about the Department and positions see  www.mss.northwestern.edu).

 We are seeking candidates whose research focuses on human subjects involving the study of clinical and/or at-risk populations and the measurement of neural processes. Of particular interest are candidates with expertise in developmentally-sensitive task development and neuroimaging techniques, including the use of ERPs during early childhood with a focus on individual differences. The candidate will be encouraged to draw on a number of ongoing large-scale studies of developmental phenotypes and mechanisms of risk in early childhood as a springboard for developing an independent program of research.  Candidates should have demonstrated scholarly excellence, with an outstanding record of scholarly publication and exceptional promise for developing an independent, extramurally-funded program of research. Participation in Departmental training activities and University service are also expected and valued.  Salary and rank commensurate with experience and credentials. Start date is flexible for this full-time, continuing position.

 Applications will be considered until positions are filled, but for fullest consideration applications should be received by September 30th.  Email letter of interest (reference position # P-210-10), research statement, curriculum vitae, representative reprints and names of three references to Search Chair, Laurie Wakschlag, Ph.D. c/o of Robin Morrissey at  mss at northwestern.edu.

Northwestern University is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. Hiring is contingent upon eligibility to work in the United States.
