Job Seekers

The Department of Neurology invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the area of neuropsychology. Post-doctoral scholars and Assistant Professors are encouraged to apply. This top-rated Department is a leader in research and clinical care.

Responsibilities: The new faculty member will have and maintain a strong research portfolio in one or more areas of cultural neuropsychology, including but not limited to cognitive aging, and dementia research among older adults. Scholarship in neuropsychology should include consideration of social, spatial, and biological mechanisms of inequalities in cognitive aging and dementia within Latino/a/x/e communities, as well as how experiences of immigration and bilingualism contribute to later life cognitive function. It is expected that the new faculty member will become an active collaborator on ongoing research projects on brain health inequalities and Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias, and training grants that focus on diversifying the field of cognitive aging research.

Applicants must have a strong record—relative to time-since-degree—of peer-reviewed publications, grant funding, demonstrated commitment to postdoctoral, graduate, and undergraduate mentorship, and community engagement. Qualifications include an earned doctorate in psychology, clinical psychology, neuropsychology, or other relevant discipline at the time of appointment, and proficiency in both Spanish and English.
