[CogSci] Hiring an Assistant Professor of Psychology and Data Science at NYU (Applications due Dec. 1)

[Brenden Lake]

Dear colleagues, 

New York University invites applications for a tenure-track, assistant professor position focused on Mind, Brains, and Machines (https://apply.interfolio.com/94880). The position would be a joint appointment in the NYU Center for Data Science and the Department of Psychology. This position is part of a cluster hire initiative around human and machine intelligence. The anticipated start date is September 2022, pending budgetary and administrative approval.

We seek applicants who can help advance world-class research in data-intensive and computationally sophisticated psychological science. Successful applicants could contribute to research and teaching in example areas such as: (1) Understanding and engineering intelligence, through studying its computational basis in humans and machines; (2) Utilizing new methods and technologies for studying human behavior, including novel experimental paradigms or naturalistic datasets capturing real-world interactions; (3) Establishing deeper connections between human and machine approaches to extracting knowledge from data, potentially leading to new technologies for studying the mind and new algorithms for data science informed by psychological research (e.g., artificial intelligence and machine learning). Applications from researchers who bridge between the existing research strengths of the Department of Psychology and the Center for Data Science are encouraged.  In addition to advancing a research program capable of attracting outside funding, applicants will be expected to contribute to the teaching missions of both the Psychology department and the Center for Data Science.

Deadline
Applications received by December 1st, 2021 will receive full consideration.

Qualifications
A PhD in Psychology, Data Science, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Neuroscience or a related quantitative field is required.
