The Department of Psychology and the Cognitive Science Program seek to fill
a tenure- track assistant professor faculty position in the area of
computational cognitive science, with an anticipated start date of July 1,
2017. We are interested in candidates with exceptional promise who are
conducting research in cognition from an interdisciplinary perspective.
Research interests may include but are not limited to memory, learning,
reasoning, problem solving, and decision-making. We are especially
interested in applicants taking an interdisciplinary approach that bridges
psychology and another discipline within cognitive science, such as
computer science, philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, biology, or
education, and in applicants with skills in computational modeling, data
science, or other formal approaches. The position will be within
Psychology, but teaching commitments will be distributed across Psychology
and the Cognitive Science Program. The department is interested in
candidates who will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher
education through their teaching. The University is committed to supporting
employees as they balance work and family.

Ph.D. or equivalent degree is required by date of hire. Candidates must
have completed all degree requirements except the dissertation at the time
of application. The department is interested in candidates who will
contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through
their teaching, research, and service.

To apply, please go to the following link: https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of
research, summary of teaching experience and interests, a brief statement
addressing past and/or potential contributions to diversity through
research, teaching, and/or service, and two to five reprints or preprints.

letters of recommendation. All letters will be treated as confidential per
