Assistant/Associate/Full Professor, Cognitive Science

Description

 

The Program in Cognitive Science at Yale University invites applications for two faculty appointments, one of which will be made within the tenured ranks and one of which can be made at any rank, to start on or after July 1, 2024. We seek outstanding researchers in any area and encourage applications from candidates with interdisciplinary research programs that involve multiple areas of cognitive science (including, but not limited to, Computer Science, Linguistics, Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Psychology). Priority will be given to scholars who will contribute effectively to both the undergraduate and graduate teaching and mentoring programs of the University. The appointed scholar will teach introductory and advanced courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels in Cognitive Science and will also advise student research across multiple departments.

Review of applications will begin on November 6, and applications should arrive by that date for maximal consideration. However, late applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Please reach out to Dr. Laurie Paul (la.paul@yale.edu), Chair of the Search Committee for this position for questions about the position, or Mrs. Lindsey W. Fuller (lindsey.fuller@yale.edu), Academic Appointment Specialist for the Department of Psychology, with questions regarding the application process.
