The Department of Psychology at UCLA invites applications for an open rank position in
human social neuroscience broadly defined, to begin July 1, 2015. The ideal candidate
will have an innovative, productive, and highly visible research program studying the
neural bases of social processes. Approaches of interest include, but are not limited to
MRI, PET, EEG, TMS, and NIRS. The appointee is expected to contribute to the
strength of social psychology at UCLA, but may come from another area of research (e.g.
developmental neuroscience or clinical neuroscience with a focus on social processes). A
Ph.D. in psychology or a related field is required. Although the position is open rank, the
preferred candidate will be someone currently in the range between Postdoctoral fellow
to Associate Professor. Applicants must also possess a history of excellence in mentoring
and teaching and must be able to contribute to the undergraduate and graduate teaching
mission of the Department’s social psychology program.

Nominations and requests for information should be sent to the Search Chair, Dr.
Matthew Lieberman (lieber@ucla.edu). Applicants should send a letter, curriculum vitae,

addresses of three references to https://recruit.apo.ucla.edu/apply/JPF00075 . Or mail all
materials to the Social Neuroscience Search Committee (Job #: JPF00075), Department
