Cognitive Scientist, Open Rank, University of Rochester

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.sas.rochester.edu/bcs/);
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) and Duje Tadin (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.
