We particularly seek mid-career applicants with strong, funded research programs.

Teaching responsibilities will include undergraduate and graduate level courses in lifespan developmental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and developmental cognitive neuroscience, and mentoring of doctoral, master’s-level, and undergraduate students. The successful candidate will become a faculty member of UT Dallas’ Center for Vital Longevity (https://www.cvl.utdallas.edu). Their laboratory and primary office facilities will be located in the Center, a short distance from the UT Dallas Sammons Imaging Center and UT Southwestern Medical Center. Candidates must have a PhD or equivalent and demonstrate their commitment to excellence in research, teaching, and service, which includes a strong commitment to principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. All candidates are expected to work effectively in a highly collaborative, engaging, and dynamic environment comprising individuals of diverse backgrounds, skills, and perspectives. The appointment commences August 1, 2023. A doctoral degree is required. Mid-level and senior candidates, and junior candidates with postdoctoral training will be preferred.
