Assistant or Associate Professor in Cognitive and Psychological Sciences

The Department of Cognitive and Psychological Sciences (CoPsy) at Brown
University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant or tenured
Associate Professor beginning July 1, 2025. We anticipate hiring up to two
candidates with the area open. However, candidates' research must focus on
one of the following research themes: (1) the interface between artificial
intelligence and cognition, (2) collective cognition and behavior, and/or
(3) mechanisms of mental and brain health. In addition to building an
externally funded nationally recognized research program, a successful
candidate will provide effective instruction and advising to a diverse
group of graduate and undergraduate students, and be willing to interact
with colleagues from a wide range of disciplines and academic backgrounds.

The CoPsy department is committed to creating a welcoming and supportive
environment that values diversity. The department strongly encourages
qualified candidates who can contribute to equity, diversity, and inclusion
through their teaching, mentoring, service and research.

Successful candidates are expected to have (1) a track record of excellence
in research, (2) a well-specified research plan that is likely to lead to
research funding, and (3) a readiness to contribute to teaching and
mentoring at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

The CoPsy department has a highly interdisciplinary research environment in
the study of mind, brain, and behavior, offering curricular programs in
Psychology, Cognitive Science, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Behavioral
Decision Sciences. The Department is located in the heart of campus, and is
associated with many Centers and Initiatives at the University, including
the Carney Institute for Brain Science, Watson Institute for International
and Public Affairs, Data Science Initiative, Center for the Study of Race
and Ethnicity in America.

QUALIFICATIONS All Ph.D. requirements must be completed before July 1,
2025.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Curriculum vitae, reprints or preprints of three representative
publications, a statement of research interests (no more than 2 pages), a
statement of teaching interests and philosophy (no more than 1 page) and a
statement highlighting the candidate?s contributions to service (for
example diversity initiatives, open science; no more than 1 page) should be
submitted on-line as PDFs to <https://apply.interfolio.com/151973>.
Applicants at the assistant professor rank should upload three letters of
reference directly to Interfolio. Applicants at the Associate rank should
submit a list of up to five names and contact information for professional
references. Associate professor candidates should not submit letters at
this time. Applications received by November 1, 2024 are assured of full
review.
