Connectionists: 3 faculty positions in Cognitive Science at UC San Diego

[Jeff Elman]

The Department of Cognitive Science at the University of California, San
Diego http://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/ invites applications for three (3)
faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level (tenure-track)
starting July 1, 2008, the salary commensurate with the experience of
the successful applicant and based on the UC pay scale. 

 

The Department of Cognitive Science at UCSD was the first of its kind in
the world, and, as part of an exceptional scientific community, it
remains a dominant influence in the field it helped to create. The
department is truly interdisciplinary, with a faculty whose interests
span anthropology, computer science, human development, linguistics,
neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and sociology. 

 

The department is looking for several top-caliber junior researchers in
cognitive science. Applicants must have a Ph.D. (or ABD). We seek
applicants with a solid foundation in neuroscience and/or computation
broadly construed, although a broad interdisciplinary perspective and
experience with multiple methodologies will be highly valued. Women and
minorities are encouraged to apply. UCSD is an Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer with a strong institutional
commitment to excellence through diversity. All applications received by
November 15, 2007 will receive thorough consideration until position is
filled. Candidates should submit, via our online application, a vita,
reprints of up to four representative publications, a short cover letter
describing their background and interests, and at least three references
(name, title, address and email). Applicants are welcome to include in
their cover letter a personal statement summarizing their contributions
to diversity.
