[CogSci] Job: Assistant professor of cognitive science at Vassar College

[Josh de Leeuw]

Dear Colleagues,

The Department of Cognitive Science at Vassar College invites applications
for a tenure-track assistant professor beginning in fall 2026.  We seek a
cognitive scientist with research and teaching expertise in either: (1)
qualitative approaches focusing on the experience of agents in context or
(2) computational modeling and AI.

The successful candidate will be committed to teaching and research in
Cognitive Science as a discipline in its own right with its integrative
multidisciplinary perspective on mind and agency no matter what forms they
take.  The position involves teaching introductory cognitive science,
advanced courses in the candidate’s area of interest, and
intermediate-level courses in the curriculum. In particular, we seek a
cognitive scientist with research and teaching expertise in either: (1)
qualitative approaches focusing on the experience of agents in context or
(2) computational modeling and AI.

Preference will be given to candidates who evidence a breadth of interest
appropriate to a liberal arts undergraduate institution and who show
promise both as teachers and as active researchers. Teaching load in the
first year is four courses; after that it is four courses per year plus
intensively mentored research or other work with students. We seek a
candidate who will develop a vigorous research program that includes
opportunities for undergraduates. PhD is required and must be in hand by
time of appointment.
