neuroscience. We also welcome applicants with interests in the 
development of multimodal imaging technologies.  Applicants who could 
also contribute to an overarching department initiative to enhance 
diversity and our understanding of diversity are particularly 
encouraged to apply.  Candidates in all of these areas can expect rich 
opportunities for collaboration within the department and across the 
campus.  Candidates are expected to have a record of excellence in 
research and teaching, and a history or promise of external funding.
