The Department of Psychology in the Faculty of Arts and Science at New York University invites applications for three tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant professor level:

Higher-level Cognition (http://apply.interfolio.com/128188): We seek candidates in any area of human cognition, including scholars focusing on topics such as thinking, reasoning, language, analogy, knowledge representation, creativity, categorization, perception of and reasoning about causality, planning, or decision making.  We will place special emphasis on research that uses innovative methodologies to explore the nature of human mental representations.  Ideal applicants will interface with existing strengths in cognition, perception, cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology, and/or artificial intelligence initiatives at NYU.

Social Psychology (http://apply.interfolio.com/128189): We seek candidates in an area of Social Psychology and will prioritize candidates who bring novel methodological approaches.

Social Cognitive Science (http://apply.interfolio.com/128191): We seek candidates focusing on social cognitive science, including scholars who take a cognitive science perspective to study topics such as social and affective processes, social neuroscience, theory of mind, social evaluation, cooperation, communication, representations of social relationships and groups, group decision making, stereotypes, moral cognition, or cognitive biases. We will prioritize research taking novel computational or other methodological approaches to these questions that will bridge between the Cognition and Perception and Social Psychology areas within the Psychology department. Candidates for this position will be considered for joint appointments across the departments’ doctoral programs in Cognition and Perception and Social Psychology. 

Appointments are expected to begin September 1, 2024, pending budgetary and administrative approval.
