Vanderbilt University is conducting a search for multiple Assistant (tenure-track), Associate, and Full Professors working at the intersection of psychology with computation or AI. The faculty will be part of Vanderbilt’s new College of Connected Computing,
focused on the interdisciplinary foundations and applications of computer science. They will work collaboratively on unique questions that integrate psychological theory to advance AI and/or use advanced computation to answer deep psychological questions.
Faculty will also help to develop robust academic and graduate programs integrating computation and psychology fundamentally. Collaboration across Vanderbilt, especially with our renowned Psychology departments, is encouraged in order to advance breakthrough
discoveries, with the possibility for secondary and joint appointments. </p>

Vanderbilt University is a private university with a long history of pioneering work in computational psychology. The 330 acre park-like campus is on the western edge of downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Nashville is a regional center for culture and technology
which has been growing alongside the University since Vanderbilt’s opening 150 years ago, in 1875.</p>
