Connectionists: Open rank faculty positions at the intersection of biological and artificial intelligence at Indiana University

[Zoran Tiganj]

The Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering (SICE), the
Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences (PBS), and the School of
Optometry (IUSO) at Indiana University (IU) Bloomington invite applications
for two faculty positions to begin on August 1, 2023.

We seek applicants working at the intersection of biological and artificial
intelligence, with a focus on reverse engineering the computational
foundations of biological intelligence using tools from machine learning
and artificial intelligence. The positions are part of a new
initiative—Reverse Engineering the Foundations of Intelligence—that aims to
transform our understanding of human and animal intelligence. IU has long
been an international leader in discussions of how brains, bodies, and
environments contribute to intelligent behavior. This initiative is
designed to build on these strengths and propel IU to the forefront of
research at the interaction of biological and artificial intelligence.

The positions are open at the full and associate professor levels, but
exceptional candidates at the assistant professor level or in industry may
be considered. We seek dynamic individuals with an international reputation
and experience working in rapidly expanding & intellectually diverse
interdisciplinary areas. We also seek individuals who excel working in team
environments and whose research, teaching, and service will contribute to
IU’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Minimum Qualifications: A PhD in psychology, neuroscience, cognitive
science, computer science, or a related field, and a distinguished record
of scholarship, teaching, and professional experience appropriate for a
tenured professorship at IU Bloomington.

Applications received by March 2, 2023 will receive full consideration;
however, the search will remain open until suitable candidates are found.
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the
positions are filled. Candidates should review application requirements,
learn more about SICE, PBS, IUSO, and employee benefits, and apply online
at: https://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/16752

Questions, nominations, and confidential inquiries may be sent to Justin
Wood (woodjn at indiana.edu) or Rowan Candy (rcandy at indiana.edu). Indiana
University is an equal employment and affirmative action employer and a
provider of ADA services. All qualified applicants will receive
consideration for employment based on individual qualifications. Indiana
University prohibits discrimination based on age, ethnicity, color, race,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic
information, marital status, national origin, disability status or
protected veteran status.

Before a conditional offer of employment with tenure is finalized,
candidates will be asked to disclose any pending investigations or previous
findings of sexual or professional misconduct. They will also be required
to authorize an inquiry by Indiana University Bloomington with all current
and former employers along these lines. The relevance of information
disclosed or ascertained in the context of this process to a candidate’s
eligibility for hire will be evaluated by Indiana University Bloomington on
a case-by-case basis. Applicants should be aware, however, that Indiana
University Bloomington takes the matters of sexual and professional
misconduct very seriously.
