[CogSci] faculty position in computational cognitive science at Berkeley - applications due Dec 15

[Terry Regier]

The Department of Psychology and the Cognitive Science Program seek to fill
an open-rank, tenure-track or tenured position in the area of computational
cognitive science, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2018. We are
interested in candidates who are conducting research in cognition from an
interdisciplinary perspective. Research interests may include but are not
limited to memory, learning, reasoning, problem solving, and
decision-making. We are especially interested in applicants taking an
interdisciplinary approach that bridges psychology and another discipline
within cognitive science, such as computer science, philosophy,
linguistics, anthropology, biology, or education, and in applicants with
skills in computational modeling, data science, or other formal approaches.
The position will be within Psychology, but teaching commitments will be
distributed across Psychology and the Cognitive Science Program. The
department is interested in candidates who will contribute to diversity and
equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching and service.
The University is committed to supporting employees as they balance work
and family.

Ph.D. or equivalent degree is required by date of hire. Candidates must
have completed all degree requirements except the dissertation at the time
of application. The department is interested in candidates who will
contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through
their teaching, research, and service.

research, summary of teaching experience and interests, a brief statement
addressing past and/or potential contributions to diversity through
research, teaching, and/or service, and two to five reprints or preprints.
Applicants at the Assistant Professor level should also arrange for the
online submission of three to five letters of recommendation. Applicants at
the Associate or Full Professor level should provide contact information
