> intensive department with strong research representation in  
> clinical, social, developmental, and quantitative areas as well as  
> cognition and neuroscience.  It is also a friendly department that  
> fosters collaboration and teamwork.  We are currently constructing  
> a research-dedicated fMRI facility that will be operated under the  
> control of the department.  The campus also houses the medical  
> school and other health-related professions rich for  
> collaboration.  The city of Columbia, Missouri is often rated one  
> of the top places to live in the U.S.; it is clean and green and

> The DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCES at the UNIVERSITY OF  
> MISSOURI-COLUMBIA seeks applications for several positions related  
> to a research-dedicated, 3T MRI scanner that will be administered  
> by the Department, in the new Brain ImagingCenter, supplementing  
> existing 1.5 and 3T scanners in the medical school.  The MILLER  
> FAMILY CHAIR IN COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE is open to full professors  
> and advanced associate professors, or non-academic equivalents. We  
> expect this endowed position to be filled by a tenured faculty  
> member, who will have the opportunity to direct the research- 
> dedicated brain imaging center.  He or she also will play a key  
> role in filling several other faculty and staff positions.  The  
> substantive area is open and includes such topics as understanding  
> the neural basis of cognition, development, aging, social behavior,  
> psychopathology, and addiction.  Priority will be given to  
> individuals whose research programs are both well-established and  
> synergistic with those of current faculty.  An additional POSITION  
> IN COGNITIVE / AFFECTIVE NEUROSCIENCE, funded through another  
> special, university-wide initiative, is to be filled at the tenured  
> or tenure-track, associate or assistant professor level, with the  
> substantive area open as described for the Miller Chair.  We also  
> are recruiting an MR PHYSICIST and an MR TECHNOLOGIST, to be filled  
> as continuing, non-tenure-track staff positions.  Engineers also  
> may be considered.  Responsibilities for these positions center on  
> working with faculty in various ways to optimize the quality of MR  
> imaging and research and, if possible, assisting with the design  
> and implementation of MR sequences.  Send your application to  
> Search Committee Chair (naming the appropriate position),  
> Department of Psychological Sciences, McAlester Hall, University of  
> Missouri, Columbia, MO  65211.  Electronic applications or  
> enquiries can be sent to Dr. Nelson Cowan (CowanN at missouri.edu;  
> tel. 573-882-4232) for the Miller Chair position, Dr. Jeffrey  
> Rouder (RouderJ at missouri.edu; tel. 884-4679) for the additional  
> cognitive / affective neuroscience position, or Dr. Steve Hackley  
> (HackleyS at missouri.edu; tel. 573-882-3277) for the staff  
> positions.  Electronic applications are preferred for convenience  
> although mailed applications will receive equal consideration.   
> Applications should include a cover letter describing research and  
> teaching interests; a vita; three to five representative reprints;  
> and letters or contact information for three referees.   
> Applications will be evaluated beginning November 1, 2007 and  
> continuing until the positions are filled. The University of  
> Missouri does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,  
> religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, and disability,  
> status as a disabled veteran or veteran of Vietnam era and is an  
> equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.  Department website:
