The position may be in any sub-discipline of Cognitive Psychology or Cognitive Neuroscience. We seek applicants with an outstanding record of research in understanding cognitive systems using behavioral, neuroscientific, or computational methods.

Applicants should show evidence of research productivity, the potential to obtain external funding, and a strong commitment to and aptitude for high quality teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

McGill is an international, research intensive university, with exceptional undergraduate and graduate students. Faculty at McGill enjoy extensive employee benefits (health, dental, life insurance and pension), co-operative research and teaching ties with other Montréal universities, and three sources of federal research funding, in addition to provincial funding opportunities. The Psychology Department has recently moved into a brand-new state-of-the-art research facility in the heart of downtown Montréal, a city that is culturally diverse, cosmopolitan, bilingual (French/English), and offers publicly funded health care. Importantly, McGill is an English language institution; knowledge of French is not required but would be an asset.
