[CogSci] Fwd: Two tenure-track Assistant Professor openings @ University of South Carolina

[Waldon, Brandon]

The Linguistics Program at the University of South Carolina (USC) is excited to announce two tenure-track Assistant Professor openings. One of the linguistics positions is in Computational Neuro/Psycholinguistics, with a tenure home in the Psychology Department. The other is in Computational Linguistics and AI, with a tenure home department to be based on the candidate’s specialization.


  1.  Assistant Professor in Computational Neuro/Psycholinguistics
The Departments of Psychology and the Linguistics Program invite applications for a tenure-track position in Computational Neuro/Psycholinguistics at the Columbia campus. This joint hire is part of USC’s university-wide cluster in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Cybersecurity with the goal to support cutting-edge research at the intersection of brain and language. We seek a computational neurolinguist or psycholinguist whose research bridges linguistics, neuroscience, and next-generation AI, with a focus on computational modeling of language learning, processing, and representation in the brain.
     *   Full posting and application portal: https://uscjobs.sc.edu/postings/193501
     *   Review of applications begins October 15, 2025, and will continue until the position is filled.

  1.  Assistant Professor in Computational Linguistics and AI
The Linguistics Program is also hiring a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Computational Linguistics and AI. This interdisciplinary joint hire (with the home department to be determined based on candidate’s specialization) will be part of a university-wide cluster hire in Data Sciences, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Cyber security and aims to support cutting-edge research at the intersection of AI and Linguistics. We seek applicants whose research agenda in Linguistics employs computational methods and whose work includes or leverages Large Language Models (LLMs). Successful candidates may also specialize in natural language processing (NLP) and/or machine learning or may investigate other aspects of AI and language science.
     *   Full posting and application portal: https://uscjobs.sc.edu/postings/193407
     *   Review of applications begins October 15, 2025, and will continue until the position is filled.
     *   Search Committee Chair: Dr. Stanley Dubinsky (dubinsky at sc.edu<mailto:dubinsky at sc.edu>).


These two hires reflect USC’s commitment to advancing Linguistics and interdisciplinary research. The Linguistics Program offers collaborative strength across phonetics, syntax, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics and language acquisition, with ample opportunities for collaboration across Linguistics, Psychology, Computer Science and Engineering, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Neuroscience, and AI.

Thank you for helping us spread the word about these exciting opportunities at USC.
