[CogSci] Assistant Professor position at Mississippi State University

[Moss, Jarrod]

The Department of Psychology at Mississippi State University invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in cognitive psychology/cognitive science. The anticipated start date is August 16, 2023. The department houses doctoral programs in both cognitive science and clinical psychology. The successful candidate will serve as a core member of the cognitive science doctoral program and will maintain a program of research, seek external funding, teach undergraduate and graduate courses, and supervise graduate student research. We are particularly interested in candidates who add to the diversity of research areas in our cognitive science program and contribute to the department mission more broadly. Examples of areas of research that diversify our program include, but are not limited to, social cognition, cognitive development, and cognitive or neural mechanisms associated with mental health. Candidates who can teach graduate courses in research methods, biological/affective bases of behavior, or computational/mathematical models of cognition are a particularly good fit.

Mississippi State University is the state’s leading research university with several centers and institutes receptive to collaborative research.
