background that includes traditional experimental and non-experimental

with neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI, EEG, optical imaging, and 
TMS. The successful candidate will be expected to conduct high-quality 
and innovative social psychological research, obtain external research 
funding, and be strongly committed to excellence in graduate and
