Assistant/Associate Professor: High-Density Electrophysiologist
The Department of Psychology at North Dakota State University announces =
a
tenure-track position in human visual/cognitive neuroscience, with a
specialty in high-density electrophysiological research methods, =
beginning
August 1, 2005. The Department of Psychology offers doctoral training in
Vision and Cognition and seeks to recruit a new faculty member whose
research specialty compliments our existing strengths. The newly =
established
NDSU Center for Visual Neuroscience is funded by a 5-year $8.9M Centers =
of
Biomedical Research Excellence grant from the NIH/NCRR and will consist =
of
10 core research faculty members, as well as numerous additional =
scientific
and technical staff. Housed in over 2100 sq ft. of remodeled space, the
Center's core facilities will include two 168-channel high-density EEG
systems for electrical brain mapping studies as well as state-of-the-art
driving simulator, immersive virtual reality, and PC-based =
psychophysical
laboratories with advanced eye-tracking capability. Standard teaching =
load
is 3 courses per year; however, the start-up package for this position =
will
include a teaching load reduction to 1.5 courses per year for the =
initial
two years of appointment (and 2 courses per year for the subsequent two
years), allowing exceptional freedom to launch and pursue high-quality
research. The successful applicant will be able to teach courses in =
their
area of specialty. In addition to a competitive salary and attractive
start-up package the Center for Visual Neuroscience will supply an =
annual
research allowance.
Qualifications. The position requires the Ph.D. but exceptionally well
qualified A.B.D. candidates will be considered for a special appointment =
as
Instructor until the degree has been completed. The minimum =
qualifications
for the position are: demonstrated expertise with high-density
electrophysiological research methods; strong potential for high-quality
research using human subjects in the topic areas of visual/cognitive
neuroscience; strong potential and interest in generating external =
funding
for research program; teaching competence in courses in specialty area =
at
the graduate and undergraduate levels; nearly completed Ph.D.; ability =
to
interact effectively with colleagues and students; and effective
interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills. Preferred
qualifications for the position are: a completed Ph.D. and the ability =
to
teach courses within our curriculum. In making hiring decisions we will
weigh the qualifications as follows (in decreasing order of importance):
demonstrated expertise with high-density electrophysiological research
methods; strong potential for high-quality research using human subjects =
in
the topic areas of visual/cognitive neuroscience; strong potential and
interest in generating external funding for research program; teaching
competence in specialty area; ability to interact effectively with
colleagues and students; demonstrated interpersonal, oral, and written
communication skills; and proximity to completed Ph.D.
We have a congenial and highly interactive faculty who are highly =
supportive
of productive research programs and quality instruction. NDSU is located =
in
Fargo-Moorhead, a pleasant, safe, and growing metropolitan community of
166,000. Fargo-Moorhead is the largest population center in the region =
and
has a conveniently located international airport served by two major
airlines (Northwest and United). It is a center for entertainment, =
finance,
medical services, and distribution for a large geographic area. Two
universities (North Dakota State University, Minnesota State University
Moorhead) and one private liberal arts institution (Concordia College) =
are
located in the Fargo-Moorhead area. Fargo-Moorhead boasts excellent =
public
schools, ample shopping, a community theatre, symphony, opera, dance
companies, several art galleries, semi-professional baseball, and
intercollegiate athletics. Winters are cold, though snowfall is =
moderate.
Summers are pleasantly warm with occasional hot stretches. Sun, clear =
skies,
and clean air predominate the year round. Outdoor sports and activities =
are
popular. Canoeing, camping, cycling, softball, and soccer are popular =
summer
pastimes. Winter sports include cross-country skiing, skating, and
snowmobiling. The city has an excellent park system that includes =
numerous
quality golf courses and bicycle/running paths along the Red River, =
which
spans most of the city and becomes a ski trail during winter months. =
Fargo
is an hour's drive from a major resort area in the Minnesota "lakes =
country"
and two hours from Itasca State Park (headwaters of the Mississippi =
river)
and its wilderness areas. Central and western North Dakota offer =
beautiful
hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, and related opportunities in the
Badlands, national grasslands, and numerous river valleys. Winnipeg,
Manitoba is less than a four-hour drive to the north and Minneapolis-St.
Paul is an equal distance to the southeast.
To apply, send a cover letter describing research and teaching interests =
and
accomplishments, a curriculum vita, copies of representative =
publications
and other supporting materials, available summaries of teaching =
evaluations,
and letters of reference from three individuals familiar with your =
career
