Hi everyone:

The Department of Psychology at The OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY seeks an outstanding 
scientist to serve as the inaugural director of a newly established College of Arts and 
Sciences Brain Imaging Center containing a state-of-the- art fMRI facility.  The magnet (a 
Siemens Trio 3T) is housed in the psychology building but aims to serve a college-wide 
teaching and research mission.  The position is expected to be filled at the full or 
associate professor level, but outstanding candidates at the advanced assistant level will 
also be considered.  The individual would be expected to affiliate with and enhance one or 
more of the existing graduate training programs in the department (i.e., behavioral 
neuroscience, clinical, cognitive, developmental, quantitative, or social psychology).  The 
individual is expected to have and maintain a strong funded research program involving 
fMRI and would be responsible for day-to-day operations of the imaging facility and its 
staff.  Candidates are also expected to contribute to both graduate and undergraduate 
supervision and instruction.  Interested individuals should submit a letter of application 
including a current CV, statement regarding specific qualifications and/or experience in 
running an fMRI facility, information about research and teaching interests, and three 
letters of recommendation.  

Materials should be addressed to: fMRI Director Search, Department of Psychology, Ohio 
State University, 1835 Neil Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210-1222. To ensure consideration, 
application materials must be received by March 15, 2010, but applications will be 
reviewed until the position is filled. For more information about the department, visit: 
www.psy.ohio-state.edu. Ohio State is an EEO/AA Employer. To build a diverse 
workforce, women, minorities, veterans, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged 
to apply.

Sincerely,
