Psychology at The University of Memphis invites applications for a tenure-track
faculty position at the Assistant/Associate Professor level to begin August
2019, pending final budgetary approval. Candidates must possess a Ph.D. While
the specific area of specialization within cognitive science is open,
preference will be given to candidates who have an established record of
nationally recognized research, a history of obtaining external research support
(or high promise of doing so), and evidence of previous, successful
collaborative research. We are particularly interested in applicants who have a
strong background in the psychology of computer-human interaction,
computational modeling, human factors, and/or learning technologies. The ideal
faculty member would also be willing to lead or substantially contribute to the
development and testing of advanced learning environments incorporating
intelligent tutoring, conversational agents, and computer-supported
collaborative problem solving. This position is designed to help us continue
our 3-decade history of projects in these areas funded by the Office of Naval
Research, Army Research Laboratory, Advanced Distributed Learning, National
Science Foundation, Institute of Education Sciences, and other agencies.
