*inaugural
director of a newly established NSF-funded Brain Imaging Center *equipped
with state-of-the-art fMRI facilities particularly suited for human
developmental work. This individual will be a leader for a growing group of

comfortably in one or more of these areas and have an innovative research
program that aligns with the existing research strengths of the

Candidates must present a record of external funding, excellent research
productivity, and interest in forming collaborative research ties within and
