Tenure-track Positions in Learning & Plasticity

The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences<https://psychology.uiowa.edu/> at the University of Iowa invites applications from candidates studying behavioral, cognitive, or affective change. This search is part of a multiyear effort to build a community of collaborative scholars who study the mechanisms and processes of learning and plasticity in humans and non-human animals at multiple levels of analysis and from a diversity of perspectives. This search is open to applicants across all areas of psychology (e.g., clinical, social, developmental, and cognitive psychology) who use behavioral and/or neuroscience approaches. We are also interested in applicants from allied fields (e.g., robotics, education) and those who work in interdisciplinary areas (e.g., computational neuroscience, socioemotional development). We are focusing these hires at the rank of assistant and associate professor. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, with screening of applicants beginning on September 4, 2018. Appointments will begin as early as August 2019.
