Job description

We invite applications for the position of Director of the Center for Mind and Brain (Center for Mind and Brain), at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor (with tenure) in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Davis. The Center for Mind and Brain (CMB) is an interdisciplinary research facility comprising faculty from multiple disciplines within the College of Letters and Science, College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, College of Biological Sciences and School of Medicine. For nearly 25 years, the CMB has been a nationally and internationally recognized leader in research on the human mind and brain. Combining strengths in cognitive and developmental psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, neurology, computational modeling and more, the 21 core faculty investigate the full arc of human mind and brain science across the lifespan to understand how minds develop, adapt, and thrive, while supporting and training undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in leading-edge research. The Department of Psychology (Psychology) includes 41 faculty conducting research and teaching in 5 core areas, including cognition, perception and cognitive neuroscience; developmental psychology; biological psychology; quantitative psychology; and social and personality psychology. Our collaborative, interdisciplinary culture fosters innovation and supports high-impact scholarship.
