LANGUAGE PLASTICITY/COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE (Cognitive Science: 3 positions)
The University of Connecticut, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, program in Cognitive Sciences is accepting applications for three tenure-track positions - two at the Assistant Professor level and one Open Rank, expected to start August 23, 2013. Successful candidates will be hired in home departments (e.g., Psychology, Linguistics, or Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences), and be full members of their home department in addition to contributing to the program in Cognitive Science. Candidates' research and teaching interests should fit well with those of the current program faculty, while contributing to our interests in developing specialties in Cognitive Neuroscience and/or Language Plasticity. We are hopeful that successful candidates will work with current members of the program toward the establishment of a neuroimaging center. Possible instantiations of successful candidate profiles include researchers who focus on: adults or children with language disorders; gene-brain-behavior links with language relevance; bilingualism and cross-language studies; translational research on language processes; language-based research situated within educational settings.

SYSTEMS SCIENCE (Psychology: 3 positions)
The Department of Psychology at the University of Connecticut invites applications for 3 full-time faculty, two at the Assistant Professor level and one at the Assistant, Associate, or Full level. As part of the university's strategy to advance its research mission, the department seeks to enhance our complement of quantitative, analytic, and computational researchers as part of the development of an interdepartmental Systems Science Research network. Our goal is to attract researchers who address complex psychological phenomena using methods that allow for modeling nonlinear dynamic processes, causal relationships between variables or time series, or interrelated systems with emergent properties. Examples of such approaches include (but are not limited to) computational neuroscience, dynamic developmental processes, multilevel/latent organizational systems modeling, multi-agent modeling and social network analysis, and cognitive dynamical systems modeling. Candidates' application letters should address their quantitative graduate teaching preference(s) and specify the potential departmental division(s) within which they would best fit; see www.psychology.uconn.edu for the department's divisional structure.
