We seek candidates in any area of specialization within Cognitive Science that helps to inform theory, methods, and/or modeling in cognition, with the
goal of uniquely expanding upon the existing strengths of the current Cognitive Science faculty (Lise Abrams and Megan Zirnstein). The Cognitive Science major is diverse, interdisciplinary, and rapidly growing in student interest. Therefore, we are particularly eager to see applications from an equally diverse pool of candidates who are outstanding scholars, dedicated educators, and enthusiastic about contributing to
a vibrant, liberal arts community. Candidates will provide evidence of a demonstrated commitment to inclusive excellence in teaching and mentoring of undergraduates, a productive record of research, and an ability to involve undergraduates in research and advise thesis projects. Professors are expected to maintain an active research program along with a teaching load of two courses per semester. Courses to be taught
include Introduction to Cognitive Science as well as new courses at the intermediate and advanced levels within the candidate's area(s) of expertise, which will contribute to a core set of departmental classes for the Cognitive Science major. The major is truly interdisciplinary, allowing students to take not only Cognitive Science courses but also Linguistics courses within the department and courses in other
departments such as Philosophy, Computer Science, and Music. Candidates must have earned a Ph.D. by the start of the position, which is July 1, 2027. Please submit your application online at Academic Jobs Online #32240 and include: (a) cover letter, (b) curriculum vitae, (c) three 1-2 page statements – one describing teaching philosophy and experience, one describing research including future directions, and one
