The Department of Psychology at Colby College invites applications for a tenure-track position in Neuroscience to begin September 1, 2020. We believe the best way to learn the science of psychology is by engaging our faculty and students in a collaborative search for new knowledge about human cognition, emotion, and behavior. To this end, we have a unique curriculum that engages students in research at all levels.  The successful candidate will be expected to establish an active and sustained program of research that contributes to the global effort to advance psychological knowledge, to involve Colby’s exceptional undergraduates in that research, to become an active and engaged member of our academic community, and to teach with passion and a commitment to excellence. We are especially interested in candidates who will promote diversity, inclusion, and equity at Colby.    All areas of specialization will be considered and applicants should have a strong commitment to the study of behavior. We are particularly interested in applicants with a research focus in cognitive or clinical neuroscience and, additionally, seek candidates who are committed to open and reproducible science and who have research interests that would be compatible with and complementary to the current research programs in the department. Teaching responsibilities for this tenure-track position include introductory and advanced courses in the candidate’s area of training, participation in a team-taught introduction to psychology course, and supervision of student independent research. The ability to contribute to the department’s methodology and statistics offerings is desirable. For more information about the department, please see our web site at http://www.colby.edu/psychology.
