[Jane W Couperus]

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Interdisciplinary Studies in Cultural Neuroscience
Hampshire College

Hampshire College, an independent, innovative liberal arts institution and
member of the Five College Consortium, is accepting applications for a two-year
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Interdisciplinary Studies in Cultural or Social
Neuroscience. This position is associated with the Foundation for
Psychocultural Research – Hampshire College Program in Culture, Brain and
Development (FPR-HC CBD).

The purpose of the fellowship is to encourage undergraduate teaching and
research around questions about how neurobiological and cultural factors
interact with and influence psychological and social behaviors and clinical
practices. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. or M.D. and a
demonstrated interest in teaching and pursuing research that brings
neuroscience in dialogue with issues of culture and society. We are
particularly interested in candidates who have background or training in both
the neurosciences and in sociology, cross-cultural psychology or anthropology.
The fellowship includes some undergraduate teaching (2 courses/year), advising,
and research mentorship. There is funding available to support the fellow’s own
research. Resources on campus include an electrophysiology lab and a
neuroendocrinology lab; MRI technology is possible for research through UMass
Amherst. This fellowship is associated with the FPR-HC Program in Culture,
Brain and Development and its occupant is expected to participate in and
contribute to that program. The postdoctoral fellow is encouraged to develop
teaching and research collaborations with colleagues both at Hampshire College
and within the Five College Consortium, which includes Hampshire, Mount
Holyoke, Amherst and Smith Colleges, and the University of
Massachusetts-Amherst. Hampshire College is committed to building a culturally
diverse intellectual community and strongly encourages applications from women
and minority candidates.

Review of applications begins immediately and will continue until the position
is filled. A Ph.D. or M.D. is required at time of appointment, July 1, 2011.
Hampshire College offers a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits
program. Candidates should forward 1) a letter of application; 2) curriculum
vita; 3) teaching statement with descriptions of courses; 4) a research
statement outlining research plans and ideas for interdisciplinary
collaboration with other faculty; and 5) three letters of recommendation to
