Post-Docs in Law and Neuroscience

By Adam Kolber

The following message is posted on behalf of Andrew Mansfield and the MacArthur Law and Neuroscience Project:

The MacArthur Law and Neuroscience Project, based at the University of California, Santa Barbara, is currently accepting applications for post-doctoral fellows for July 2009 to July 2010.  We are seeking researchers who are interested in the intersection of law and neuroscience with experience in law, neuroscience, philosophy and/or a combination of those fields.  We are currently exploring issues of criminal responsibility, prediction, and the use of neuroscience in legal decision-making.  Various research projects led by or including prominent scholars and judges at over two dozen leading institutions are currently being launched.  The program operates under a $10 million three-year grant and we are currently in year two of the project.  Candidates must be willing to relocate to Santa Barbara.  The position pays between $42,000 and $50,000 annually for a full time fellow depending on degree.  Half time positions may also be offered.  The University of California is an enthusiastic participant in affirmative action and an equal opportunity employer.  We encourage applications form those who embrace our commitment to excellence in teaching, research, and public service.  For more information see: http://www.lawandneuroscienceproject.org.  Please email a resume and three recommendation contacts to Andrew Mansfield at amansfield@lawneuro.org.
