[CogSci] faculty job opening in Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester

[Robert Jacobs]

*The Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of 
Rochester*is seeking to hire multiple faculty members in the area of 
decision making and cognitive or sensorimotor planning at the Assistant 
(tenure-track) or Associate Professor level. Areas of interest include 
the roles of learning, prediction, memory, and attention in guiding 
goal-directed behavior, especially within complex, naturalistic 
environments. We are primarily interested in candidates using 
neuroimaging, computational (e.g., Bayesian decision theory, 
reinforcement learning), behavioral (including technology-driven 
approaches such as virtual reality), and/or developmental approaches. 
Both individuals and teams are encouraged to apply. Successful 
candidates will join a dynamic department with interests in the study of 
perception, motor control, learning, cognition, language, and 
development through combined neurobiological, computational, and 
behavioral research (http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/ 
<http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/index.html>); she or he will also be part 
of a university–wide community engaged in graduate and undergraduate 
education.

Candidates should hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) in cognitive 
science, psychology, neuroscience, or another relevant domain, and 
should have considerable research experience. Applicants should submit a 
CV, a statement of research and teaching interests, and contact 
information for three referees via the following website: 
http://www.rochester.edu/faculty-recruiting. In addition, team 
applications should include a joint statement that describes the 
research synergies of the team. Questions concerning this position can 
be addressed to Robert Jacobs (rjacobs at ur.rochester.edu 
<mailto:rjacobs at ur.rochester.edu>) and Duje Tadin 
(dtadin at ur.rochester.edu <mailto:dtadin at ur.rochester.edu>), co-chairs of 
the search committee. Review of applications will begin on November 1, 
2018. The University of Rochester is an Equal Opportunity Employer with 
a strong commitment to diversity, and actively encourages applications 
from candidates from groups underrepresented in higher education.
