We seek faculty capable of (a) managing, coordinating, and expanding existing efforts, and/or (b) developing new efforts in keeping with our general goals. As currently envisioned, applicants should have expertise in theoretical and behavioral experimental methods related to one or more of the following areas: (a) lexical retrieval and word production, (b) motor speech control, (c) human learning and memory, including amnesic conditions; and/or (d) executive functions/cognitive control, particularly the processes involved in 'elementary' decisions and choices. However, other domains of expertise that are relevant to the overall efforts will be considered. Applicants are also expected to have demonstrated expertise in oral and written communication, management skills, and an independent publication record.

The specific positions being offered (in particular, faculty rank and potential associated joint appointment(s)) will depend both upon the candidate's qualifications, and upon decisions by the appropriate committees within the Department and the University.

In their current formulation, these are pure research positions. There are no teaching responsibilities. Independent funding will allow independent efforts. While full-time arrangements are anticipated, there is the possibility of part-time or other flexible arrangements.

Applicants are encouraged to contact Barry Gordon, M.D., Ph.D., Therapeutic Cognitive Neuroscience Professor, at 410-955-3407 (voice, 24/7), or via E-mail at bgordon@jhmi.edu, for any preliminary inquiries.
