Connectionists: Advanced Asst. or Associate Professor in Cognitive Science and Computational Modeling at University of Colorado Boulder

[Michael Mozer]

The Institute of Cognitive Science at the University Colorado Boulder is
seeking to hire a tenure-track professor at the advanced Assistant or
Associate level. We are particularly interested in applicants with
expertise in the analysis, modeling, and interpretation of complex data
sets using advanced computational techniques from fields such as machine
learning, statistics, signal processing, and network analysis.



The internet and the availability of massive data repositories (e.g.,
language corpora, large-scale neuroimaging studies, educational data logs)
are changing research paradigms in the allied fields of cognitive science.
We seek an individual who leverages these resources and/or their own data
collection efforts to advance our understanding of a substantive topic
within cognitive science, and/or to develop techniques and systems that
boost human cognitive potential.



The Institute brings together researchers from seven departments: Computer
Science; Education; Integrative Physiology; Linguistics; Philosophy;
Psychology & Neuroscience; and Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences. We
offer a Joint PhD in Cognitive Science with each of these departments, and
we teach highly interdisciplinary courses. Institute research is presently
focused in three strategic areas: Human Learning and Education, Language
Processing, and Cognitive Neuroscience, broadly defined. Our ideal
candidate will have an outstanding track record in one or more of these
areas, a strong funding history, and a commitment to interdisciplinary
research.



For best consideration, applications should be completed by

November 1, 2015, but will continue to be accepted until the position is
filled.



Applications should include a current curriculum vitae, list of at least 3

professional references, statement of teaching philosophy, statement of
research philosophy, publications demonstrating the characteristics
described above, and a cover letter addressing the applicant’s match to the
Institute. Applications are not considered complete until all letters of
recommendation have been received.
