The School of Psychology at the Georgia Institute of Technology announces a tenure track faculty position in cognitive aging. We seek an individual conducting research on basic mechanisms of cognition and aging, with an emphasis on using experimental methods to identify cognitive processes. Any domain of cognition is relevant, but we are especially interested in persons studying human memory. We welcome applications from individuals who focus on aging and cognitive neuroscience.
