Stony Brook University*

The Department of Psychology at Stony Brook University invites applications
for two tenure-track Assistant Professors in the area of Cognitive Science.



For the first appointment, we seek a candidate who uses advanced
quantitative methods to study human perception or cognition. Preferred
quantitative methods would use deep learning / machine learning, including
generative artificial intelligence (e.g., large language or vision-language
models) to understand human perception, attention or cognition. Other
comparably advanced computational methods will be considered. For this
position, we are particularly interested in a scholar whose work lends
itself to novel collaborative initiatives across areas and disciplines.



For the second appointment, we seek a candidate who has a proven record of
research in the area of Cognitive Science.  We are particularly interested
in scholars whose research focuses on language or judgment and decision
making. However, we will consider applications from all areas of Cognitive
Science.



Each applicant should be able to teach and mentor Cognitive Science
students at the graduate and undergraduate levels. The Psychology
Department at Stony Brook University encompasses doctoral programs in
Cognitive Science, Clinical Psychology, Integrative Neuroscience, and
Social and Health Psychology. Available resources relevant to the position
include the Stony Brook University Institute for Advanced Computational
Science (IACS), the Institute for AI-Driven Discovery and Innovation, the
Institute for Engineering-Driven Medicine, and the Social, Cognitive, and
Affective Neuroscience (SCAN) Center.



*Required Qualifications*
A PhD degree in Psychology, Cognitive Science, or a closely related field.



*Preferred Qualifications*
A record of publication(s) that use behavioral, computational, and/or
quantitative methods to study human perception or cognition.
